I watched 2 sets of The Wolf's show at Paul's Mall in Boston waiting to hear Smokestack Lightning but when I asked the band about it they said the Wold was done for the night. I went over and told the Wolf I'd been waiting since 1960 in Mississippi to see him sing that song live. He said, "Son, you waited long enough " and got back up on the stage and dedicated the song to me. He asked me to stay at his table and have a drink with him! What a great guy and a great musician!

@Bullets in Bacon Grease Well, aside from the story of Led Zeppelin, which has been repeated too often to go into here, I suspect what Randall was talking about is the way that record companies cheated these bluesmen out of almost every penny they earned. And if you think that didn't happen, it was certainly still common up through the seventies, and probably still is.

So did my grandfather and father. On Saturdays and sometimes Sundays, our house was full of great blues songs. Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters were the favorites. My dad was also a guitar player, and at times, we would gather/sit around his feet while he played their songs. Brings back so many good memories. I still have their records, reels, eight tracks, and C.D.s. Sometimes, when I'm listening, a memory will fall in the form of a single teardrop.

I'm a 46 year old black man and it's 2021 and I knew these kind of men. You didn't play around with them. Fearless men who grew up around so much murder that it's hard to fathom. Men like my grandfather. They carried around enormous pain. Every once in a while they'd forget themselves and tell you about their friend who was lynched when they were a teenager. Or they'd tell you about their sister who was raped by a white sheriff. Then they'd catch themselves and end the story as quickly as it started. They didn't want to pass along that pain to you. But you knew they'd kill a man if they hadn't already because that was survival. Hard drinking. Hard fighting. Women. And running from God. The way he's singing... that's church. That's gospel music stuff. We'd sing like that at church for an hour or two straight.

But he beat the white man almost to death so he left, the girlfriend was afraid to leave Texas. He went to Chicago!

There's a story that Howlin Wolf sometimes had to pull over and beat up his own band. Most managers I tell that to said "Sometimes thats what you had to do". But apparantly he paid very well to his musicians. But anybody in that world knows musicians can be pretty messed up people. Mick Jagger pretty much ripped off his whole visual act. Apparantly nobody gave a show like howlin wolf, except maybe screaming jay:)

For the clueless people commenting this was not a BBC man but jazz great Chris Barber. One of the most influential people in altering people's tastes. Involved with Lonnie Donegan's Rock Island line which brought in the skiffle craze which led to the likes of John Lennon and others becoming involved in music. Then he brought a host of blues artists over here for the first time, Wolf, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters, Sister Rosette Tharpe who thanks to him played in front of bigger audiences, and white ones at that, for more money than they had ever seen. The reason he said rhythm and blues-whatever that is was people with no idea about it referring to bluees music as rhythm and blues as some sort of catch all. He died yesterday, aged 90. Was still touring until 2019. BBC man indeed. Some people should not comment on thi gs they know nothing about.

You weren't poor but rich awaiting. Music would then fast foward the feeling of richness by bringing the sense of hope. You would forgert all your past and present adversities and think about your brighter future. That's the effect of the sense of sound on one's conscience.

The thing is; Howlin' Wolf was a nice guy, good to his kids, wife, and the musicians that worked for him. Like most music from classical to rap; it's all about attitude, and doesn't mean the artist is mean, or evil. It's in the domain of creativity, and the brain of the creator.

When I was a young man there was an older man named Mr. Peques. He loved listening to Wolf, Muddy Water, John Hooker and Etta James at the local cafe juke box. He would dance and had such a look of joy in his face and eyes. But what struck me the most was he had tears running down his face, not for sadness but for joy. People would laugh at him, but I couldn't. Finally, I ask why he cried and he said their music touched his soul. As I got older and truly listened to these blues legends, I too felt it in my soul. To me this is the blues and now at 69 years old I'm like Mr. Peguis listening to the blues brings me to tears, tears of joy. It's a beautiful feeling in my soul.

@@petehill8885 Actually, music preference is determined in part by intellectual status and fine arts interests. I was never one to sit idly by and be force fed the mass produced garbage that was made specifically for my generation. I don't listen to music the way that the average Joe does. I go out of my way to find genres upon subgenres and I will even force myself to listen to some of their tracks despite how mind numbingly mundane they really can be. In my own pursuit of knowledge, I can say without a doubt that there are intellectual ranks in music and their audience. Think of it like this, the person who watches Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, and Toddlers in Tiaras are not likely to be the same individuals that will watch The Universe, How it's Made, and Horrible Histories. In a similar fashion, it would be unlikely that a fan of Lil Pump, Taylor Swift, and Adelle are going to sit still long enough to listen to Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, or Tchaikovsky compositions. So, to reform your statement.. I would say that comparing genres IS an indication of intelligence. You just have to clear a huge barrier of ignorance so you can learn that better, higher quality music exists in places that mainstream media will keep you from looking.
