Album Review

For the casual blues fan with a scant knowledge of the Wolf, this 1971 pairing, with Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones, Ringo Starr, and other British superstars, appears on the surface to be one hell of a super session. Although that's not really the case, it's nowhere near as awful as some blues purists make it out to be. [This edition includes three bonus tracks.]

Customer Reviews

Howlin' Wolf London Sessions

This was a big hit when it came out in '71. Having as your pickup band, Charlie Watts, Stevie Winwood, Bill Wyman and Eric Clapton aint too shabby. Hearing Wolf teach Eric Clapton how to play the guitar on Red Rooster is worth the price of the album. This album, was, I thought, the best of the London collaborations.

REALLY GOOD

I was really glad when I found out that iTunes had this album, because they can lack some good music. The instrumental work on the album is phenominal, and of course Howlin' Wolf brings it all together in his raspy, blues voice.

One of the Best

I bought this album when I was in high school about the time it first came out. Back then I wasn't sure who Howlin Wolf was, but I liked the English musicians. The album served as my introduction to the blues. It was a good place to start. When I go back to it now, even though I've known most of the lyrics by heart for almost forty years, it sounds as fresh as it ever did.

Biography

Born: June 10, 1910 in West Point, MS

Genre: Blues

Years Active: '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s

In the history of the blues, there has never been anyone quite like the Howlin' Wolf. Six foot three and close to 300 pounds in his salad days, the Wolf was the primal force of the music spun out to its ultimate conclusion. A Robert Johnson may have possessed more lyrical insight, a Muddy Waters more dignity, and a B.B. King certainly more technical expertise, but no one could match...
