"...these neglected cuts sound wonderfully fresh and infinitely better than so many blues recordings that have come since--and better, in retrospect, than most all of the blues being recorded at the time (1973). Wolf's vocal powers were undiminished and his harp skills still strong..."Product Description:

Liner Note Author: Mark A. Humphrey.
Recording information: Chess Studios, Chicago, IL (08/1973).
This, Wolf's last hurrah, is his final studio album. Cut with his regular working band, the Wolf Gang, everything here works well, despite Detroit Junior's annoying use of harpsichord on several tracks. Highlights include Eddie Shaw's "Coon on the Moon," Wolf's own "Moving" and "Stop Using Me," and both takes of "Speak Now Woman." Not the place to start a Wolf collection by any means, but a great place to end up. ~ Cub Koda

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...
