Listening to Howlin' Wolf speak is like listening to the Dalai Lama. The depth of the wisdom, truth and experience is incredible. He is so respectful of all the musicians he has known, learned from and played with. The man is class incarnate. He is a Titan of the American music scene. Of the whole world really.
Hell yes sir. That is one of the most profound interviews I've ever heard. If you like any form of popular music you need to listen to this interview. Incredible! This is stunning history, proper history, if you care about where your from this man will lead you half way to undetstanding. Beautiful.

“Sonnyboy was a rough boy in his lifetime. Some people ya know, get quickly carried away with the life, ya know. It’s like some of these young musicians today.They get a big head instead of a big heart” 😎
The most startling part of this interview is where at about 14:15, Wolf casually remarks about meeting Jimmie Rodgers, “the Singing Brakeman,” widely considered “the father of country music.” Wolf often said that Rodgers was one of his biggest influences. Until this interview was released, no one suspected that he actually ever met Rodgers. Wolf said many times that he listened to Rodgers' records, which were incredibly popular. Rodgers was the Elvis Presley of his day -- the late 1920s and early 1930s. In this interview, Wolf said that not only did Rodgers influence him, but when Wolf was a kid, he actually met Rodgers, who taught him how to yodel. In trying to imitate that yodel, Wolf turned it into his famous howl. If it was anyone but Wolf, you’d think he was making this up, but Wolf was always completely trustworthy when he talked about the many musical legends he met, knew, and played with. "The Wolf don't lie" is what his friends often said about him. What's more, Rodgers had deep, documented connections with the town where Wolf grew up: West Point, Mississippi. Rodgers went to high school there and is shown in the U.S. census there in 1910, the year Wolf was born a few miles north of there. Rodgers kept returning there for years afterwards while working on the two railroads that ran through there. He would often get off the train for the night and play at one of the local plantation parties, where Wolf said he met him. Rodgers learned to play and sing from black men he met who worked on the railroad with his father in Meridian and West Point, Mississippi. His first famous songs were "blue yodels," where he played a blues progression and then yodeled a solo instead of playing it on guitar. He was a bluesman through and through. If someone asked him what kind of singer he was, he probably would've said "blues singer."
@@wiltedjourneysRight, he took guitar lessons from Patton and played with Patton off and on for years. He kept visiting Patton's grave in Holly Ridge, MS for decades after Patton died, and several times said that Patton was his favorite blues singer.
Huge opportunity missed when asked about Robert Johnson. Wolf says « yeah we ran around together « Dudes immediately ask about Wolfman Jack. Who the hell cares about that when you had the chance to hear some Wolf / Robert Johnson stories?!?
Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, Jimmie Rodgers, This guy saw them all, oh my God if I had a time machine I would love to go back in time just to hear them play, take interviews, take recording and pictures. CHARLEY PATTON taught Howling Wolf, no wonder Howlin Wolf is so damn good being taught by the greastest players, being thaught by the fathers for the Blues and the fathers of modern music. I don't know if I'll ever have enough of the Blues, I hate it and I love it at the same time.
WOLF 🐺 U are so right 👉 a song is a song but song isn't music 🎶 if it doesn't have any feelings 2 it songs aren't songs if they don't have any feelings 2 it 😊❤🎉❤😊😊 /😊😊😊😊😊😊 TLC/OMG 6 17 2O23
A+ the first time I've heard the man just talk about things. Huge fan of Mr Burnett. I'm glad I found this. Wolf shares some wisdom, I like that he said "The people made me." & how he takes time to talk to his fans. I could name some big stars who could learn a lesson about that, but I won't, I doubt if they're listening to this any way. Thanks for putting this up. LOVE the Howlin' Wolf.
One of life's irreplaceable characters and very humble really saying" I was born on earth and I stay on the earth the people made me so I follow the people" after all the talk of his onstage antics attacking the audience etc! It's a shame his mama apparently never ever forgave him for leaving the church to sing for the devil supposedly but a voice with more colour than anyone else in history needed to leave the congregation to get his message across!
¡ Listen ! My first impression .. based solely on the pacing of the narration .. was of a pedantic and most boresome presentation. The _content,_ especially the music samples, fully belied this first impression.

AMAZING!! Wolf is the real deal blues, but what a humble guy. There isn't enough of this kind of stuff around. Thanks for posting!
Fascinating! Wolf with Ike Turner on piano.

This was a real treat. Thanks for uploading.
You’re number 1
Thanks .
1/15/1928: The first time Wolf picked up a guitar
I surprised he even knows that.
Holwlin Wolf died 18 months before i was born but what i would give to go in a time machine and see him in a juke joint in the Delta.
god lord you're a puppy son
I saw him two feet from me at a Smithsonian folk arts fest, but I was to dumb not to jump in his trunk and travel with him.
"I'VE LOVED DA' BLUES ALL OF MY LIFE. DA BLUES BRING ME GOOD MEMORIES & LOVE AND MAKING OUT."
Wolf is THE Real Deal
I like him even better now since he was a rabbit hunter.
22:54 does someone fart? 🤣 great interview ❤
All the great blues men came from the same state Mississippi
Not true at all.
"Dust my Broom" is not an Elmore James song, it's a Robert Johnson tune from the 1930's.
The Wolf
Who is playing in the background?
Sopwith Camel.
¡ Listen !
