RE: Wolfs last
Music Lover: LX Skye from
Southern Utah -- April, 2, 2007
This was Howlin' Wolfs last recording. A prime-evil force in the blues, as well as rock.
There are some great tracks on this cd, but unfortunately, someone decided to record a couple of tunes, with an electric harpsichord!
The liner notes even try to justify it, but its way out of place here, amongst the swamplands of mississippi.
Essential listening, is either The Howlin' Wolf Chess Box Set, or the 2 for 1 albums on 1 cd, on chess.
Meet me in the bottom...
