Natural Boogie

Natural Boogie was recorded at Sound Studios in Chicago, and produced by Hound Dog Taylor and Bruce Iglauer.^[4] It was Taylor's second album, and the last to be released during his lifetime, although at the time of his death a live album, Beware of the Dog, was already planned.^[3]

Cub Coda's review on AllMusic describes Natural Boogie as having a fatter sound than its predecessor, and a wider range of emotions and music. The website gives the album a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5.^[1] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings describes it as "a less incendiary performance than the first Alligator album but by no means lacking in bonhomie."^[3] In The Amazing Secret History of Elmore James, author Steve Franz writes that the album's balance of material makes it arguably Taylor's best album.^[5]
