We British have been digging the Wolf since the 60s. He is still adored today and very popular in rythmn and blues venues over here. The blues were a gift to the world from America.
The LEGENDARY Iconic Howlin Wolf
Old, old, classic blues right here.
ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY! It's always great to get the chance to listen to the music of those who had a hand in creating it. AND FOR HOWLING WOLF, WHAT A HAND IT WAS! GREAT VIDEO! GREAT REACTION!
"BUILT FOR COMFORT..." "NOT FOR SPEED" THANK FOR THIS!
Howlin Wolf was 6'6 and nearly 300lbs and his ability to entertain people and scare the fuckin shit outta them at the same time was unreal. His presence is unreal.
The original bad ass mother f'er right there
Nice to see young folks discovering the wolf. Encouraging.
Don't sleep on the Wolf. Try some more. That was in the UK in 1964. They didn't have a clue what R&B was then.
Always love listening to this song - What a legend!
This was a bit before my time, but I bought the Chess Blues CD box set in the early 2000's. This was one of my favorites immediately! Howlin' Wolf was a badass!
Love me some howlin’ wolf!!
The blues doesn't get any better.
THE. REAL. DEAL. The great Willie Dixon on Bass. Hubert Sumlin on guitar. Otis Span on piano. The A team.
I love the Wolf. Wish I could have met him.
I feel exactly the same way. He was an incredible force of nature. So raw and powerful and dominant. The greatest of them all.
Howlin' Wolf, aka Chester Burnett, wrote a bunch of great songs, but "Smokestack Lightning" may be the best of the bunch. This song was also covered by the world's best cover band, Grateful Dead.
The original studio version is still worth checking out too. The Wolf was the man. Check out "Spoonful", "Backdoor Man", "You Gonna Wreck My Life", "Commit A Crime" and "Evil".
I appreciate you doing all music and I enjoy how you actually groove with music.....
Wolf the greatest. No one else, most powerful bluesman ever.
Sorry but Stevie Ray Vaughan is the goat
Here with mx today 36 the blues for 23 years i knoe nut i dont fell after this i feel the WOLF this is next Lvl
This is the kind of music that the music industry can discover, but never create. It has to grow from organic soil, you can't assemble it in an office.
One of the greats.
I remember this from 64, still play it to this day, “I’m the Wolf”, so many tracks I could suggest. Great to see you getting into it as I still do. Just heard a remix of Smokestack by Neiland on YT, love that as well. 🙂
In this song, you hear Howlin' Wolf's famous howl, which for him started as a yodel. He learned to yodel in person from Jimmie Rodgers, who's often called the Father of Country Music. Wolf was a child at the time and met Rodgers at a plantation party near West Point, Mississippi. Rodgers was in his early twenties and wasn't yet famous. He took a liking to Wolf and taught him what he knew about how to yodel. Wolf said decades later that he couldn't quite get the yodel down right, so he did it his way and turned it into his distinctive howl. Wolf later learned to play guitar from Charlie Patton, the most famous early Mississippi blues star. So Wolf learned in person from two of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
Rodgers became the top-selling recording star of the 1920s and early 1930s, and Wolf often talked about how much he loved his music. Wolf became the greatest blues singer ever and one of the greatest American performers of the 20th century.
Ever so Smooth blues can make your body dance. Love the sound of Chicago electric blues
And the the WOLF still HOwl.............. Forever
R&B was brand new then, and not many people knew what it was. Black music was called ‘Race music’ in those days and any Black music then was either Gospel, Blues or Jazz.
It probably was a bit of shade cause they were all super openly racist back then but also because R&B was recently invented around that time.
To paraphrase Louis Armstrong, if you have to ask what rhythm & blues is, you'll never know
JT, I, too, was offended by the host comments, but R&B was a new term at that time. Also, I recommend checking out the movie cadilac Records
You really need to check out the MC - a British jazz legend who was one of the major supporters of Blues. He organized the tour and Mr Wilfe stayed at his house. Chris did not like the constant need to sub caterogize music.
My motto is if you’re whole personality revolves around your race and you go looking for racism you’ll find it 100% of the time even when racism didn’t occur
If he don't touch you soul you don't have one.
We don't "have" a soul, we "ARE" souls.
REAL deal bluesman. Playing juke joints from Mississippi to Chicago...what's level up from legendary?
No need to get offended. R&B as well as Rock and Roll were still relatively new music genres at the time. And keep in mind they were also in England. This music was kind of underground. Definitely not a staple on the BBC Radio.
Right like what a Karen
Oh I see but when y'all are offended by something it's justified
@@mauricesantinomfif you offend yourself with your lack of comprehension skills that’s on you bud
I love you for sharing fabulous music
Lets goo 🐐
This is an absolute banger... Check out Spoonful by Howlin Wolf if you liked this one
I didn't appreciate what that host guy said either JT .....hip hop wasn't heard of yet either. These labels in America didn't have the slightest clue what hip hop was at this time.
Haha hip hop wasn’t around in the 50’s/60’s
Sorry but your cultural baggage is clouding comprehsnion. The host was averse to pigeon-holing Howlin' Wolf and any labels. It was in the early 60s and all he was saying was that he wasn't sure whether or even what this new label of rhythm and blues means or even if categorizing makes sense. I quote from Wikipedia: "The term "rhythm and blues" has undergone a number of shifts in meaning. In the early 1950s, it was frequently applied to blues records. Starting in the mid-1950s, after this style of music had contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term "R&B" became used in a wider context. It referred to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music.
From 1960s to 1970s, several British bands and groups such as the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Animals were referred to and promoted as being R&B bands." So, as you can see, the term itself was in its infancy and morphing at all times, and even beyond this. Do a little homework before you make comments. Assuming makes an ass out of "u" and me.

That’s the problem with today’s generation they offend themselves and then blame others for their inability to process emotion
Doesn’t matter the tone of the initial jackass
Lol that crowd is there and so happy
What kind of introduction was that!
He wasn't putting shade.
He was putting down the broad classification of Black music as R&B.
He was actually doing the opposite.
He was trying to do some good.
Absolutely agree.
the king howlin wolf
Ok. First of all
watch CADILLAC RECORDS. It has a good portrayal of howlin wolf. And it has Beyonce doing 3 of etta James song.
My own request.. can you react to buddy guy someone else was slipping in. He has some live performances from his late 50s to late 70s on you tube.
The album version could be what you looking to react too as it is 4.30 is.
But if you want to see a master of the blues interact with crowd. Live is the way to go
Can you react to bb king how blue can you get singing. It is under "bb called this the greatest of his career".
FYI - the term R&B (rhythm and blues) was a brand new term, literally unknown at the time. Howlin' Wolf was of the blues era. The Blues at that point had died off in the States and if it weren't for the British audience would have stayed dead. The announcer meant no insult, but couldn't define the genre.
Do not get upset with the MC, Mr Chris Barber. He is a British Jazz legend and was a huge supporter of American blues music ( he arranged this tour). He was not dissing Howling Wolf, just the conatant need to label everything
Right I guess that's why they are playing like a jazzy version of the song, with like acoustic bass and Mr Wolf playing the harmonica, and not guitar? I think this is something that a lot of ppl don't recognise, but in the period leading up to all the beat bands, and the pop music explosion, trad jazz was massive in England, like even the Cavern which spearheaded the Beat bands, was originally opened as a jazz club.

The guy was actually challenging the industry’s tendency of segregating black music artists into the R&B category
so you got offended over nothing
He said "R&B what ever that is" because the USA seprated popular music by race. White and black music. So R&B was black Blue Grass & Rockabilly. Its a racist divison on poplular music. Thats why he scoffed.
Back then their racism was direct nowadays its indirect he was just mad because his people can't carry a tune

The guy possibly did not know what R&B meant. As a stereotype, he looks like an announcer for pop and light classical concerts who got a last minute gig. Those first American Blues Tours in the UK were an exercise in awkward presentation pretty often really.
You shouldn't get offended by other cultures, he was obviously been very reverential Mr Wolf, and the crowd fucking loved him. I've seen interviews with a few black American artists who said they liked playing the UK in the 60's because they were allowed to book a room in the any hotel and eat in any restaurant when they were over here.
the reactor is conflicted here
interesting to see her revert to something she not used to pretending to be
R&B_it is BLUES😮
