His tutelage on the Mississippi Delta included guitar and showmanship from Charley Patton and harmonica teachings from Sonny Boy Williamson . By the end of the 1930's he was a fixture on the Southern Club scene. He was inducted into the U.S. Army on April 9, 1941 and discharged on November 3, 1943.

In 1948 he formed a band which included guitarists Willie Johnson &amp; Matt "Guitar" Murphy, harmonica player Little Junior Parker, and drummer Willie Steele. In 1951, Sam Phillips recorded several songs by Howlin' Wolf at his Memphis Recording Service, and he became a local celebrity. After Leonard Chess secured his contract, The Wolf relocated to Chicago in 1952. It was in Chicago that his legendary status was secured. Playing with prominent blues musicians such as Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers and his longtime guitarist Hubert Sumlin, his everchanging lineups remained stellar thanks in part to Burnetts' admirable policies of paying his musicians well and on time, even including unemployment insurance and Social Security contributions, basically unheard of among his peers. Over the years many of his songs have been interpreted by rock bands, including "Little Red Rooster", "Back Door Man", "Killing Floor", &amp; "Spoonful". Howlin Wolf, with his Memphis and Chicago recordings, his status and influence, surely is one of the vital links between Blues and Rock.</p> <p>Inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 (Early Influence). ---discogs.com</p> <p>download (mp3 @320 kbs):</p> <p><a href="https://yadi.sk/d/nfDP4n5r3UgYV5" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">yandex </a> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/74u83wnn0165jw2/HwlnWlf-30MSB17.zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mediafire</a> <a href="https://ulozto.net/!5fyqszqftYfE/hwlnwlf-30msb17-zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">uloz.to </a> <a href="http://ge.tt/7IM1vWp2" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">gett</a> <a href="http://my-files.ru/tzxyuo" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">my-files.ru</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/javascript:history.back();">back</a></p> <p><strong>Howlin' Wolf - 30 Most Slow Blues (2017)</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/ObrMuz/Blues/HowlinWolf/30.jpg" border="0" alt="Image could not be displayed.

All of these, along with his other classic and essential singles (both A- and B-sides) from the first decade of his career, are collected here in this expansive, three-disc, 80-track set, which also includes several sides recorded at sessions during this period but never released. ---Steve Leggett, allmusic.com</p> <p> </p> <p>Chester Burnett, better known as Howlin' Wolf, was one of the most important and influential figures in Chicago Blues through the 1950s, and along with Muddy Waters helped to establish the electric blues style that laid the foundations for rock music in subsequent decades. With his imposing physical presence and loud, almost fearsome voice, he was a powerful and impressive performer, who wrote and popularised songs which have become classic standards of the genre, like ""Spoonful"", ""Smokestack Lightning"", ""Killing Floor"" and ""Red Rooster"", which became fixtures in the repertoire of bands like The Rolling Stones, who very much championed his cause and widened his reputation in the latter years of his career. This collection brings together both sides of all the singles he released through the RPM and Chess labels during the first hugely important decade of his career, along with bonus tracks comprising recordings made at sessions during this period which were not released as singles at the time. It's a great-value 80-track 3-CD set, which showcases one of the major personalities of the blues. ---Editorial Reviews, amazon.com</p> <p>download (mp3 @320 kbs):</p> <p><a href="https://yadi.sk/d/gmqlUS_w3JYgH2" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">yandex </a> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/rbcnw2nye2txykr/Howlin'+Wolf+-+The+Complete+RPM+&amp;+Chess+Singles+As+&amp;+Bs+1951-1962--tBtJ--2014.zip/file" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mediafire</a> <a href="https://ulozto.net/!P44LamF8ZhrN/hwlnwlf-tcs14-zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">uloz.to </a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/javascript:history.back();">back</a></p> <p><strong>Howlin' Wolf - The Complete RPM &amp; Chess Singles As &amp; Bs - 1951-1962 (2014)</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/ObrMuz/Blues/HowlinWolf/singles.jpg" border="0" alt="Image could not be displayed.

All of these, along with his other classic and essential singles (both A- and B-sides) from the first decade of his career, are collected here in this expansive, three-disc, 80-track set, which also includes several sides recorded at sessions during this period but never released. ---Steve Leggett, allmusic.com</p> <p> </p> <p>Chester Burnett, better known as Howlin' Wolf, was one of the most important and influential figures in Chicago Blues through the 1950s, and along with Muddy Waters helped to establish the electric blues style that laid the foundations for rock music in subsequent decades. With his imposing physical presence and loud, almost fearsome voice, he was a powerful and impressive performer, who wrote and popularised songs which have become classic standards of the genre, like ""Spoonful"", ""Smokestack Lightning"", ""Killing Floor"" and ""Red Rooster"", which became fixtures in the repertoire of bands like The Rolling Stones, who very much championed his cause and widened his reputation in the latter years of his career. This collection brings together both sides of all the singles he released through the RPM and Chess labels during the first hugely important decade of his career, along with bonus tracks comprising recordings made at sessions during this period which were not released as singles at the time. It's a great-value 80-track 3-CD set, which showcases one of the major personalities of the blues. ---Editorial Reviews, amazon.com</p> <p>download (mp3 @320 kbs):</p> <p><a href="https://yadi.sk/d/gmqlUS_w3JYgH2" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">yandex </a> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/rbcnw2nye2txykr/Howlin'+Wolf+-+The+Complete+RPM+&amp;+Chess+Singles+As+&amp;+Bs+1951-1962--tBtJ--2014.zip/file" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mediafire</a> <a href="https://ulozto.net/!P44LamF8ZhrN/hwlnwlf-tcs14-zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">uloz.to </a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/javascript:history.back();">back</a></p> Howlin' Wolf - Mississippi Boy (2002) 2014-10-16T15:56:48Z 2014-10-16T15:56:48Z http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/en/blues/837-howlinwolf/16718-howlin-wolf-mississippi-boy-2002.html bluesever administration@theblues-thatjazz.com <p><strong>Howlin' Wolf - Mississippi Boy (2002)</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/ObrMuz/Blues/HowlinWolf/mississippiboy.jpg" border="0" alt="Image could not be displayed.

Think for a moment of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who entered the stage encased in a coffin, or Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones, known for painting his guitar and his coiffed hairdo, to match a new suit of clothes. Of everyone though, the one who managed chaos and pure mayhem most often, was Howlin' Wolf. Born with a voice that was as rough as 30 grit sandpaper, he took a deafening approach to blues, and his recordings from his primal Memphis days, to the greased Chess sessions of the fifties and sixties, show a man who had little use for boundaries. Simply put, the Wolf was perhaps the scariest creature ever to cradle a guitar, or blow harmonica. Built of a massive frame of over six feet, and well over the 240 pound mark, Chester Arthur Burnett, from Aberdeen, MS, could shake you to your soul with one phrase, one sentence, one word.</p> <p>With the number of labels issuing blues today, it's sometimes difficult to know what to buy, but this budget-priced, 16 track, 45 minute disc, from yet another little known imprint, is a great beginning. Wolf first recorded in Memphis for Sam Phillips, who owned and ran Sun Studios, and it was Phillips who leased masters to both the Chess brothers in Chicago, and the West Coast Bihari boys, simultaneously. While Wolf's 78's showed up for a time on both the Chess and RPM logos, the money behind Chess ultimately won out, and Wolf moved north to the Windy City. Before he left the south though, he managed some of the tightest, inspired sides ever to burst out of Memphis. Backed by Willie Steel's riveting and insistent drums, solid piano from Albert Williams, L.C. Hubert, or others, and the distorted abnormalities of Willie Johnson's guitar, Howlin' Wolf tore through his early recordings like a rabid animal through flesh. While his harmonica style bore similarities to Sonny Boy Williamson, though rougher in texture and phrasing, Wolf's true instrument was a voice unlike any other of his time.</p> <p>From the first track, "Baby Ride With Me," to the closing of "California Blues," these 16 sides show complete disdain for any sort of manners. Wolf was at home with a hard-charging band behind him, taking his harmonicas out for brief spitfire phrases, and with the crew encouraging him, as in "How Many More Years," he poured on the steam. "Look A Here Baby" starts with a Duke Ellington flavor, and within seconds, Willie Johnson transforms the song from a sweet cocktail-blues to rude and twisted Memphis jump tune. Wolf steps in and talks his way through the proceedings picking up his harp for some added interest, but it's the hard-driving Johnson who takes control here. The amount of horsepower generated by Howlin' Wolf and his cronies back in 1952 and '53, when these tracks were cut, is at times hard to fathom.

Phillips' was too small an outfit to fully exploit Wolf and others he recorded, but by leasing masters to various labels in bigger cities, he brought himself income, and a better future for many of his artists. Thankfully, Chester Burnett lived long enough to reap the rewards and adulation of the young rockers, Clapton, Page, Jagger, Richards, et al, and the throngs who flocked to see him in his later years. His plaster-shattering, teeth-rattling early work, perhaps his best for its reckless abandon, is the place to start. --- Craig Ruskey, mnblues.com</p> <p>download (mp3 @320 kbs):</p> <p><a href="https://yadi.sk/d/0LLfDtncc3UgH" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">yandex </a> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/uquc5mwd3msatk8/Howlin+Wolf+-+Mississippi+Boy--tBtJ--(2002).zip/file" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mediafire </a> <a href="https://mega.co.nz/#!m9NCCZiD!zLRgTqydQHdE47O0LrnX1yCWRJwU4CxQJCWTTzbaRH4" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mega </a> <a href="https://ulozto.net/file/seE3m5sY3tsP/howlin-wolf-mississippi-boy-tbtj-2002-zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">ulozto </a> <a href="http://ge.tt/6CL0T1B3" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">gett </a> <a href="https://www.solidfiles.com/v/Q4wjQ4LB23Lnw" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">solidfiles </a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/javascript:history.back();">back</a></p> <p><strong>Howlin' Wolf - Mississippi Boy (2002)</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/ObrMuz/Blues/HowlinWolf/mississippiboy.jpg" border="0" alt="Image could not be displayed.

Leary – drums </pre> <p> </p> <p>The Real Folk Blues series on Chess wasn't really folk, but titled that way, perhaps to gain the attention of young white listeners who had started to get turned on to the blues during the 1960s folk revival. And the Howlin' Wolf volumes in the series were not particularly more folk-oriented than his other Chess recordings, but more or less arbitrary selections of tracks that he'd done from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s. It's thus also arbitrary to do a two-fer reissue of his The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues, combined here onto a single disc. That doesn't mean, though, that this isn't very good and sometimes great electric blues music. The Real Folk Blues, with tracks from 1956 to 1965, is by far the more modern of the pair in arrangements, and has a good share of classics: "Killing Floor," "Sittin' on Top of the World," "Built for Comfort," "Tail Dragger," and "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy." There were some lesser-known cuts on that record as well, never less than good and sometimes very good, like the blues-folk staple "Louise" and the driving "Poor Boy," as well as a couple brassy 1965 recordings with both Hubert Sumlin and Buddy Guy on guitars. More Real Folk Blues, in contrast, consists entirely of 1953-1955 recordings, which are considerably more lo-fi and not as stuffed with high-class memorable material.

Leary – drums </pre> <p> </p> <p>The Real Folk Blues series on Chess wasn't really folk, but titled that way, perhaps to gain the attention of young white listeners who had started to get turned on to the blues during the 1960s folk revival. And the Howlin' Wolf volumes in the series were not particularly more folk-oriented than his other Chess recordings, but more or less arbitrary selections of tracks that he'd done from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s. It's thus also arbitrary to do a two-fer reissue of his The Real Folk Blues and More Real Folk Blues, combined here onto a single disc. That doesn't mean, though, that this isn't very good and sometimes great electric blues music. The Real Folk Blues, with tracks from 1956 to 1965, is by far the more modern of the pair in arrangements, and has a good share of classics: "Killing Floor," "Sittin' on Top of the World," "Built for Comfort," "Tail Dragger," and "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy." There were some lesser-known cuts on that record as well, never less than good and sometimes very good, like the blues-folk staple "Louise" and the driving "Poor Boy," as well as a couple brassy 1965 recordings with both Hubert Sumlin and Buddy Guy on guitars. More Real Folk Blues, in contrast, consists entirely of 1953-1955 recordings, which are considerably more lo-fi and not as stuffed with high-class memorable material. Yet these are fine raw 1950s electric blues, and occasionally superb, as on the well-known "No Place to Go" and the propulsive "Just My Kind." You might already have some or many of the 24 tracks if you have a bunch of other Howlin' Wolf collections. But a lot of these, particularly from More Real Folk Blues, don't show up on the standard best-of anthologies, so more likely than not if you only have one or two Howlin' Wolf anthologies and want more, this is a pretty good one to get. --- Richie Unterberger, allmusic.com</p> <p>download (mp3 @224 kbs):</p> <p><a href="http://yadi.sk/d/hGp4AtQJDv7V2" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">yandex </a> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download/23q255sszhjhg2r/HlWf-MRFB67.zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mediafire </a> <a href="https://ulozto.net/file/aL2ilv9B1M4q/howlin-wolf-more-real-folk-blues-tbtj-1967-zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">ulozto </a> <a href="http://ge.tt/3wZ0W1B3" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">gett </a> <a href="https://www.solidfiles.com/v/keMZ3zjyLL7zg" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">solidfiles </a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/javascript:history.back();">back</a></p> Howlin' Wolf - The Power Of The Voice (1990) 2012-05-04T15:54:04Z 2012-05-04T15:54:04Z http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/en/blues/837-howlinwolf/12147-howlin-wolf-the-power-of-the-voice-1990.html bluesever administration@theblues-thatjazz.com <p><strong>Howlin' Wolf - The Power Of The Voice (1990)</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/ObrMuz/Blues/HowlinWolf/powerofvoice.jpg" border="0" /></p> <pre><em> 1 I Ain't Superstitious 2 Sittin' On The Top Of The World 3 Built For Comfort 4 The Red Rooster 5 Highway 49 <a href="http://www.box.com/s/8e62c848889b842ebfed" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">play</a> 6 Cause Of It All 7 Killing Floor 8 Brownskin Woman 9 The Sun Is Rising 10 I'm The Wolf <a href="http://www.box.com/s/3a76a160b15c81554223" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">play</a> 11 House Rockin' Boogie 12 Dog Me Around 13 Keep What You Got 14 My Baby Stole Off 15 Crying At Daybreak 16 Passing By Blues 17 Poor Boy 18 Commit A Crime 19 Wang-dang-doodle 20 Do The Do 21 Worried About My Baby 22 Rockin' Daddy </em></pre> <p> </p> <p>Howlin' Wolf, 1910-76, African-American blues singer and composer, b.

A number of songs written or popularized by Burnett—such as "Smokestack Lightnin'", "Back Door Man", "Killing Floor" and "Spoonful"—have become blues and blues rock standards.</p> <p>At 6 feet, 6 inches (198 cm) and close to 300 pounds (136 kg), he was an imposing presence with one of the loudest and most memorable voices of all the "classic" 1950s Chicago blues singers. This rough-edged, slightly fearsome musical style is often contrasted with the less crude but still powerful presentation of his contemporary and professional rival, Muddy Waters. Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), Little Walter Jacobs, and Muddy Waters are usually regarded in retrospect as the greatest blues artists who recorded for Chess in Chicago. Sam Phillips once remarked, "When I heard Howlin' Wolf, I said, 'This is for me. This is where the soul of man never dies.'" In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #51 on their list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". ---wiki</p> <p>download (mp3 @VBR kbs):</p> <p><a href="http://yadi.sk/d/nO3CKhk1DwA5p" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">yandex </a> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/njroff3valnwhct/Howlin'+Wolf+-+The+Blues+Collection+Vol.7+-+London+Session--tBtJ--1993.zip/file" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mediafire </a> <a href="https://ulozto.net/file/OHaq0WGoAsgt/howlin-wolf-the-blues-collection-vol-7-london-session-tbtj-1993-zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">ulozto </a> <a href="http://ge.tt/6aRif1B3" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">gett </a> <a href="https://www.solidfiles.com/v/mDq77vyNLNW7D" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">solidfiles </a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/javascript:history.back();">back</a></p> <p><strong>Howlin' Wolf - London Sessions - The Blues Collection Vol.7 (1993)</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/ObrMuz/Blues/HowlinWolf/londonsessions.jpg" border="0" alt="Image could not be displayed.

A number of songs written or popularized by Burnett—such as "Smokestack Lightnin'", "Back Door Man", "Killing Floor" and "Spoonful"—have become blues and blues rock standards.</p> <p>At 6 feet, 6 inches (198 cm) and close to 300 pounds (136 kg), he was an imposing presence with one of the loudest and most memorable voices of all the "classic" 1950s Chicago blues singers. This rough-edged, slightly fearsome musical style is often contrasted with the less crude but still powerful presentation of his contemporary and professional rival, Muddy Waters. Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), Little Walter Jacobs, and Muddy Waters are usually regarded in retrospect as the greatest blues artists who recorded for Chess in Chicago.

This is the last album recorded by the legendary blues giant Chester Burnett, better known as Howlin' Wolf. The CD notes provide a brief history of the man, the myth, the mighty, moanin' Wolf. I learned from them that, although he had been performing since the 1930s, he started his recording career at the age of 40 in 1951. It was in Memphis where he was discovered by Sam Phillips, as in Elvis. His first recording session resulted in a hit, "MOANIN' AT MIDNIGHT", a personal favourite, and landed him a contract with Leonard Chess. For twenty years begining in 1953, the Wolf made records with Chess. Although, success was late in arriving for him in the US, if you were at the Crawdaddy Club in London in the 1960's, you would have known who he was. He was one of the influences for the under-rated British group the YARDBIRDS which was a revolving door for legendary guitarists, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and finally, Jimmy Page. In the songs of this CD, Howlin' Wolf and Hubert Sumlin, who was his guitarist since 1954, look back over their recording career update and summarize it. As much as this is a Howlin' Wolf album, it is also a Hubert Sumlin album. If you are learning to play guitar and have yet to master one of Sumlin's leads, this is a good CD to listen closely to. He balances Wolf's low growl with treble notes which bend, slide, jab and smoothly grace a pentatonic scale. Sumlin's style depends on a solid rhythm section to keep things steady, and he is working with a fine one here. CAN'T STAY HERE, SPEAK NOW WOMAN(ALT.) and TRYING TO FORGET YOU are standouts as Sumlin showpieces. The last one is a retrospective tour through Wolf's songs as that woman who is still "trying to wreck" his life has him "moanin' at midnight". If you are interested in the Chicago Blues, or would like to learn the classic guitar solos of Hubert Sumlin, this CD will be interesting to you. ---“Katja R”. amazon.com</p> <p>download (mp3 @256 kbs):</p> <p><a href="http://yadi.sk/d/JAEDkaweDw7Na" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">yandex </a> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/ixecu844g2an88g/Howlin'+Wolf+-+The+Back+Door+Wolf--tBtJ--1995.zip.zip/file" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">mediafire</a> <a href="https://ulozto.net/file/WgHzwkTMIRQ0/howlin-wolf-the-back-door-wolf-tbtj-1995-zip-zip" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">ulozto </a> <a href="http://ge.tt/7ldnc1B3" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">gett </a> <a href="https://www.solidfiles.com/v/DGBgMpZ43Y4Vg" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(this.href,'newwin','left=27,width=960,height=720,menubar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1');return false;">solidfiles </a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/javascript:history.back();">back</a></p> <p><strong> Howlin' Wolf - The Back Door Wolf (1998)</strong></p> <p><img src="http://www.theblues-thatjazz.com/ObrMuz/Blues/HowlinWolf/backwolf.jpg" border="0" alt="Image could not be displayed.
