“[Big Mama Thornton] was a wonderful blues singer, with a great moaning style. But it was as much her appearance, as her blues style that influenced the writing of ‘Hound Dog’ and the idea that we wanted her to growl it.” – Mike Stoller, on writing Hound Dog Taylor for Big Mama Thornton

Crash Records was one of several record labels on Chicago's famed "Record Row" -- a few blocks on Michigan Avenue that housed prestigious labels such as Chance Records, Vee-Jay, Chess Records and more. 

While Crash's tenure was only two years long, the Chicago-based label released several noteworthy hits from Magic Sam, Jimmy Dobbins, The Steelers and others. 

This single by Magic Sam was released in 1966. The graphic is a scan of the original pressing.
