History.
Alligator Records was founded to publish an album by Hound Dog Taylor &amp; The HouseRockers, his favourite band. His employer, Bob Koester of Delmark Records refused to do so, therefore Iglauer decided to make his own record label.
Since its beginning Alligator Records has published over 250 Blues- und Bluesrockalbums.
