I can just feel it in his voice the passion he had in his music was electric and it would hit every bone in my body. Sorry if it doesn't do the same for you. Im old so people might disagree or not get that feeling but we did when we were kids. I sure miss the old days but not everything about them. God bless everyone of you all.

[jazzyjayable]

One of the greatest “Bluesmen” to ever exist! I love me some Howling Wolf.

[mylesburks]

This right here is my culture. All this stuff going on today, I have no idea where it comes from.

[RUNNOFT]

Wolf had something you can't counterfeit.

The man was so talented I wish I could have seen him preform live

[kickalion]

If you don't move to these songs you are dead. Even floor moves! AND NO, I DO NOT HAVE A DEAD MAN UNDER MT FLOOR

[tonypaulprince]

Hubert Sumlin on guitar. That man could play!

[hangten]

Back then, everyone was immersed in the music with no devices to distract you away from the experience.

[LisaGrisham]

What a great "Bluesman", a true legend!

[nickthabit]

Beautiful how the guitar pushes upward into the major from the minor 7:06

Excelente, sou do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil.

[andrewbenihana]

Hubert Sumlin is top shelf. Dude was straight out cold with his style.

[dubster]

I was at this gig. Me and my friend John, we were both 16. Sonny Boy was brilliant too and the great Sleepy John Estes also played with Hammie Nix on jug. Thanks so much for posting. After all this time I haven’t forgotten how great it was!

[dennismason]

Willie Dixon (wrote the song), on bass, starts to extend his hand to Wolf at the end of the Smokestack Lightning - 5:04 - and Wolf just ignores him and Willie re-directs his hand.

[grantsmythe]

That's the great Willie Dixon on upright bass, playing there. He wrote too many songs to count but one of his best was the popular Big Boss Man, popularized by Jimmy Reed.
