Rock and Roll Meets the Wolf

Howlin' Wolf is one of the genuinely iconic figures in the blues. I earlier reviewed "His Best" from Chess and thoroughly enjoyed that work. This is another fine recording, made special in some ways because of his backing players. Think about this: Eric Clapton on guitar, Steve Winwood on piano...

Wolf in London

This is great outing for one of the Blues senior citizens; a tribute by the devoted following of British Blues youngbloods who perform with due reverence for the master. Sure, its not full throttle Wolf, but the impro take of Little Red Rooster alone is worth the fare, as the compiler's...

Fantastic!!

I absolutely loved this CD. Unlike other reviewers who didn't appreciate Hubert Sumlin playing rhythm guitar and Clapton playing lead, Howlin' Wolf and Mr. Sumlin, both tried and true together, give way to some new blues followers, and thank God. Look what has become of Eric as a blues front...

timeless

This cd exceeded my expectations. The 60's rockers backing up their idol Howlin Wolf in the twilight of his career sounded as if they had been a unit for years. The musicians manage to give the songs a fresh sound while still staying true to its roots. The Howlin Wolf although at the recording...

If you don't like this album, you have no soul

I've often heard that "blues purists" have great disdain for this album, which leads me to think the definition of "blues purist" is "someone who tries way too hard to not like good music."Sure, Wolf was old. Sure, you can tell he wasn't in great health. But he was still perfectly able to get a...

Great history

I've had this album for thirty-five years. The riffs will give you chills and the dialog on Red Rooster will make you smile and replay over and over. What a great composition with Starr, Winwood, Clapton, and the great Charlie Watts and Howlin Wolf.

Great Intro. to The Blues

If you like Classic Rock and Roll and are looking to get into The Blues this is a great place to start. Chess Records, in following the success of Fathers and Sons, ships both Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters to play with a who's who of British Rock. On this album, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood,...

Don't listen to the so-called Blues purists! 'THE LONDON HOWLIN' WOLF SESSIONS' will rock your socks off. And if you go barefooted, then you'd better hang onto your hat!I remember when the eponymous 'Van Halen' album was released in 1978, some writer for a music magazine reviewed it and...
