| | Howlin' Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | His 1962 album Howlin' Wolf is one of the most famous and influential blues records, known for its cover illustration of an acoustic guitar leaning against a rocking chair. | | | Numerous artists have recorded cover versions of Howlin' Wolf songs: | | | He was often backed by bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon who authored such Howlin' Wolf standards as "Spoonful," "I Ain't Superstitious," "Little Red Rooster," "Back Door Man," "Evil," "Wang Dang Doodle" (primarily known as a Koko Taylor hit), and others. |

| | Howlin' Wolf |
| | Wolf finally started recording in 1951, when he caught the ear of Sam Phillips, who first heard him on his morning radio show. | | | Wolf had put his first band together, featuring the explosive guitar work of Willie Johnson, whose aggressive style not only perfectly suited Wolf's sound but aurally extended and amplified the violence and nastiness of it as well. | | | Dixon and Wolf parted company by 1964 and Wolf was back in the studio doing his own songs. |

| | Howlin' Wolf continued to record and perform throughout the 1960s, serving along with Muddy Waters as a blues standard-bearer and bringing the form closer to rock & roll through his impact on groups like the Rolling Stones. | | | Wolf's whiny, piercing vocals turned many of his Willie Dixon-penned songs into surly diatribes about bad luck, bad women and bad times. | | | PBS - American Roots Music : The Songs and the Artists - Howlin' Wolf |

| | Chester Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf |
| | In 1951, Sam Phillips recorded Howlin' Wolf 's first two records, "Moanin' at Midnight" and "How Many More Years" at Memphis Recording Services(later to be known as the studio of Sun Records). | | | Howlin' Wolf developed his singing from listening to records of his favorite artists, such as Tommy Johnson, Jimmy "the Yodeling Brakeman" Rodgers, the Mississippi Sheiks and Tampa Red. | | | They both play on Wolf's 1961 sessions which include some of his best stuff including "Shake for Me", "The Red Rooster", "Down in the Bottom", "Goin' Down Slow" and "Ain't Superstitious" (all of these tunes are in the excellent The Chess Box which is a good survey of Wolf's music throughout his career). |

| | Wolf is quite simply the finest blues vocalist ever--his gravelly, soulful, cavernous growl is unmistakable and awesome, befitting a man of such huge girth and power (listen to the microphone nearly detonate on the beginning of Moanin' In The Moonlight from trying to handle his voice). | | | Here are two classic Howlin' Wolf original albums collected on one CD, and it is some of the best blues music ever recorded. | | | The songs on this LP are among the most elemental, eerie and powerful pieces of music ever committed to tape. |

| | Howlin' Wolf |
| | Wolf's last studio album, and his growl is still impressive though he rarely plays harmonica and doesn't even appear on the title tune, an instrumental. | | | Strangely for a live album recorded so late in an artist's career (Wolf was 62), almost all the songs here were new. | | | Wolf soon hooked up with guitarist Hubert Sumlin and cut a string of singles that are just about the best electric blues ever recorded. |

| | * Dusted Reviews - Little Howlin' Wolf * |
| | The influence of his namesake, Howlin’ Wolf, is evident on tracks such as “Big Ole Bear,” but the occasionally discordant scales of the rhythm and lead indicate something is amiss. | | | Little Howlin’ Wolf — along with Buccaneer Bob, Shadow Drifter and Deacon Blue — is a moniker employed by James Pobiega, a formidable man in both appearance and musical ability from the South Side of Chicago. | | | Performing primarily as a street musician in his hometown in the 1970s and ’80s, Pobiega amassed a catalogue of 32 7” singles and two full-length albums, all self-financed and self-released. |

| | Before coming to West Memphis, Wolf fronted one of the Delta's first electric bands, and songs like "Oh Red" and "Everybody's In the Mood" (his variant on a Glenn Miller standard, no less) jump with ferocious backwoods intensity. | | | He had his sound down cold, and there was little Sam Phillips could do except turn on the tape recorder and marvel at the force of nature being unleashed. | | | For someone whose style was often described as feral, the singer brings surprising nuance to songs like "My Baby Walked Off" and the rocking "That's Alright." The Wolf's Memphis sides unveil a strikingly original (but tradition-based) sound and unsurpassed conviction, and provide the foundation for the more familiar hits he was soon cutting in Chicago. |
