Howlin' Wolf was 300 lbs. of pure joy. He was Mr. Blues. He was one of the most inluential blues artist of his era. The Rollingstones idolized the Wolf. Howlin' Wolf was a hurricane, tornado, and a earthquake. You knew there was going to be an explosion when he performed. I was mesmerized by his power and showmanship. Sam Phillips (Owner of Sun Records) said Howlin' Wolf was the greatest artist he ever recorded. That says a lot, since he had recorded Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc.

I think you guys miss the biggest point. Most music from black people is designed as party music. This is the 50's equivelent to a modern club song. 12 bar 4/4 time is great for dancing it gives the song a natural beat. Now not to say that there aren't great slow grooves in the blues as we all know, but this music was played at jukes where people were dancing not sitting. We black folks don't go to a party to sit, even today.

i'm disappointed to see Blues fans miss the point of this song. its not about 12 bar or any kind of particular groove even. these guys were just havin a good time after a long day of hard work. you know plenty about playin guitar, but i think its time to learn about living life.......something howlin wolf knows plenty about ;)Play on
