One of the greatest pleasures of my life was seeing Howlin' Wolf perform....twice. The first time was at the Washington DC Blues Festival in 1968. I was 15 years old and had run away from home in NY to attend this incredible, star studded show show. The second time was after I hitchhiked two thousand miles, alone from San Francisco to the Ann Arbor Blues Festival in 1970, at age 17. I took amazing photos of him. Even at this very early age, I knew what my priorities were
Man you are a solid fan. What's your favorite. Mine is the London Sessions an where he teaches the great ones his licks on Red Roster fllowed by Red Roster.
I've noticed how no one here seems to give him credit for being a very fine guitarist and blues harpist....he was a one man band of the highest caliber. Listen to his slide playing. Masterful.
He had a second guitar player doing most of the slide and lead stuff, he's adding rhythm and more detail in the bass notes of the guitar. He knew his stuff
@@JJFrostMusic Yes, that's true but his own playing was superb. Just watch him in some of the videos on youtube. That is some mighty fine playing, both guitar and harp.
Use to hear my DADDY AND MAMA EXPLAINING THESE SONGS TO ALL OF US WHEN WE GOT OLDER ANUFF TO UNDERSTAND WE WOULD BE IN SHOCK AND OOOHHH THEY WOULD BE LAUGHING UNTIL THEY CRIED😁😁😁😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭🙏🏿😇🙏🏿😇🙏🏿😭😭😭😂😂😂🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰😘😍🤯🤯🤯😳😳🤭🤭😬😬🤐😟🤔🤔✊🏿✊🏿!!!
He was indeed a blues master. Just because he did’t meet the standards of popular,successful, mainstream blues, makes him that much more special, and in my eyes, more successful
The Wolf was very popular during his time. You just need to remember that Black kids started moving away from Blues to R&B and Motown in the 50's and 60's.
Would there have been the great hits from the Stones, Small Faces etc, without the likes of this man? "The Blues had a baby, and they called it Rock n Roll".
There's no argument. If you know The Blues, there is no one more powerful or electrifying. Enjoy his genius. His pure authenticity will NEVER be matched. HE IS THE BLUES. We can only learn and share his message.
Man, he felt it in his soul. Such a total blues power package. Killing every aspect. A one man band, great singer,songwriter and overall showman. He honed his craft in juke joints and dancehall’s. Recording studios must have seemed like an incredible luxury. Dues paid, accolades deserved. Howl away wolfman
never heard of him till tonight. Im 48 thats . I went to collage to study classical at 17 at Sandhill community collage in NC. I Know Joe Satriani, BB King this is the old ODB of yesterday.
Doc Martin The reference is to the members of Howlin’ Wolf’s bands, whom he paid well, on time, and whose unemployment insurance and social security he covered. If you’re gonna call someone “stupid” you should be sure you have a clue what you’re talking about.
Bc most of today's generation, doesn't want to hear it. They want their own sound, like every other generation. I don't care for it at all, that's why I'm here listening to Wolf. 🤷🏾♀️
This transports me back to my 1960's childhood memories. The times were hard for us black peoples but the music was awesome. Music soothes the rough edges of life in every Era. RIP BLACK Mississippi soul brother howling wolf 🐺.
I am black and lived in Korea Town as a teen and into my twenties.a Korean man said to me, we listen to these sad song not because we are depressed but because we miss our home land. That is the same way we listen to the blues , it’s something we can identify with. We listen for strength and encouragement.
Conservative here, life was absolutely terrible to Black people in particular. You don’t have to be a fist raising anti racist to realize racism was and still is a huge problem in the South. Most of the early Bluesmen were sharecroppers, and they were lucky compared to those trapped in debt peonage - de facto slavery. The Mississippi Delta is one of the poorest places in America, and most of the people living there are Black.
That horn dude - and all the horn dudes on these recordings - so elegantly understate themsleves - unobstrusive - you barely notice they are there in spite of their instrument which has the power to cut through - yet they provide so much support. Love the horn dude in this.
This video conveys the purist form of Howlin' Wolf. In the studio, screaming into the mic, playing the guitar with his slide. Working man's blues. This song always seems to come up at last call, and makes me feel like pourin one more for the Wolf. 🥃
The 'wolf' was one of a kind. Real blues man. Love this guy. What a talented man during 'Jim Crow' times. Proof that music has no boundaries. You cannot supress talent !!!
@@deltaalfa3521 Not intelligent ? Jim Crow started with the indians, the 'real americans'. They called it relocation. They had songs also.Our black ancestors sang the blues in their native tongues aboard the slave ships . They made musical instruments out of gourds in Africa before they became captives. The blues is misery music. What could be more miserable than being a captive, chained like dogs, aboard a slave ship. They moaned and groaned out rhythmic songs on the 'white man's' cruise ship. It wasn't the 'good ship' lollipop either.
No, Rome, you are most alone e.g. Pöst Malöne. The "A" is öne with the Lord, and thus, never alöne. God as my witness; New Testament; C-AM-BOD-IA. The Living Bible (Jesus Walks) or book of justice be mines several tymes oyver. Rome is improperly one with fïre now indeed which is wrong. So be it, Röme. You're just double damned now, Rarriarier. *Sub-Suharian Africar* If Rome is indeed "the Authority (Dorothy)" then why did Roheim boyn my hoheim. *Spit in your face in public.*
What I love most about Howlin Wolf is that despite all the horrors he lived in his life he never got bitter or turned away from self-criticism for things he might of said or did that he knew was not how God wanted him to live. One of the hardest points I read for me to read was when he made in the music business he went home and tried to help his mother out with some money. She took the money and threw it all over the floor and declared she did not need that devil's money. Man that had to be beyond soul crushing for him. Such a gift from God and his mother never heard it or understood it.
The blues were the devils music and as such was abhorred by the black Baptist churches back in the early days. If you played it you were destined to go to hell. Blame it on Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads.
I was lucky to attend a Howlin' Wolf show in 1972 in a blues club on Stanley Street Montreal. I had just turned 18 and that was the drinking age back then and gave access to clubs. I was a Cream fan and heard all about some of the blues great. I remember his being a rather tall man - I still remember some loud teenagers making noise and he shut them up with one glance.
Is it any wonder Wolf was good? Before he was 30, he learned guitar from Charlie Patton, Son House, and Willie Brown and harmonica from Sonny Boy Williamson II. He also played with Robert Johnson and pretty much everybody else who was playing and traveling through the Mississippi and Arkansas Delta in the 1930s. He was there at the birth of the blues, in other words. And in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he was present at the birth of electric blues and rock 'n' roll in West Memphis and Chicago.
They really need to make a movie about him. He led such a remarkable life, and he cemented himself as one of the greatest blues musicians that ever lived.
From the early days of R&B, a fine guitarist and harp player, some of the finest , raw blues music, Howling Wolf was a legendary Bluesman, rest in peace
I love the sound that he was able to tease out of that guitar.....Not the only old bluesman to be able to do it of course...But in listening to these old school bluesmen I'm always mystified by the color of the sound they were able to produce....It's no wonder so many later musicians desperately attempted to achieve something that was similar....In some instances it's quite good, but I can't think of an artist who really was/is able to carry that haunting original blues sound....
Grateful for all the tribulations America went through to produce this greatness. And thank you to all who’s family recognized this talent and lead him to influence generations of music
Listen to him on Smoke Stack Lightning.... This man is actually melodically howling on the record. It's beautiful.... I love this guy music, way too much judging from my username lol
First heard “Meet me in the bottom” (sic) played by the Rolling Stones on Saturday Club in the early 1960’s. It got me hooked on the greatest rock and roll band in the world. A great pity that the Stones never released it on record, but it can still be viewed on RUclips.
The wolf man will always be the number one blues man in my book 🫡❤ I was raised by a single mother and her two brothers in the 50's thru out the house day and night the blues man cometh
Blues HEAVEN, the greatest blues voice ever !!!! , still treasure my 1972 memories, when (on a' fantastic musiscal road trip...) I had the privilege sharing his 'birthday' in The famous Blue Flame. What a great show/memory, this is/was...!
Just finding out about this blessing to my ears, can't believe I went 52 years and just now being introduced to this one of a kind diamond,love him, can't get enough
The most powerful singing voice I might have ever heard. And a damn good guitarist and harpist too! I got a poster of him on my wall for my birthday, he inspires me so much.
It's amazing how influential men like Howlin Wolf became in their later years it truly is mind-boggling, compared to todays music, a young face for a fast and greedy industry, keep on keeping on, they'll forget your name before the remember the next... Thank you for the tunes Howlin Wolf

Howlin' Wolf is the best name for an artist EVER tought of!!!
Undisputed stands alone
It really is
Most "musicians" couldn't shine this man's shoe's , he's as fine as it gets.🎶🎸🎵🎶💯
Muddy Waters isn't too bad either .
Yes it is, the name alone pulls you in!
Bob dylan recently said howlin wolf was the greatest live act hes ever witnessed, so I figured I'd check him out. Badass music. What a voice!
Jim Morrison's favorite bluesman, too.
And he could play the slide guitar like nobody's business!!!💚
Check out Smokestack Lightning live in '64 & How Many More Years live in '65 on Shindig tv show w/ Rolling Stones.
Bob who?
Doesn't get any better than this
I listen to a wild array of music but I always come back to Howlin' Wolf.
He was indeed a blues master. Just because he did’t meet the standards of popular,successful, mainstream blues, makes him that much more special, and in my eyes, more successful
Amen
The Wolf was very popular during his time. You just need to remember that Black kids started moving away from Blues to R&B and Motown in the 50's and 60's.
You kidding me. Mainstream blues evolved from him. Make no mistake he is the godfather
He's an original blues man. He lived it.
When he gets into his songs I do believe he goes into a blues trance. He's in another world. Best ever.
This man IS the blues
Still very relevant today 09/03/2023 😊
Would there have been the great hits from the Stones, Small Faces etc, without the likes of this man?
"The Blues had a baby, and they called it Rock n Roll".

Nope there wouldn’t be!!
I'm Old and this Man is one of the Greatest. I could listen to him day and night

I dig the way he could adjust his glasses, even take them off, and never miss a guitar lick. He was and is total commitment to his music personified!
At traffic lights when folk play annoying disco music I give them a blast of Wolf, They appreciate it.
Is "disco" the same as "pop" for you? Just curious:-)
Getting them back to the roots of all modern music.
