Blues legend Hound Dog Taylor, Alligator Records' first artist, will have his song Sitting At Home Alone featured in the new video game, Driver: San Francisco.  The gameplay involves two main characters as they race through the streets of San Francisco. It will be released on August 30, 2011.

 

Taylor, whose wild, raw slide guitar helped put Alligator on the map, died in 1975. According to Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, Hound Dog would have loved this. "He would really get a kick out of being part of a video game. Hound Dog's blues were full of raucous energy. He had more fun playing music than anyone else I ever saw."
