Comment:

That gruff, growly voice. The plaintive, animal cry. The music of Howlin' Wolf is instantly recognizable, as are its precedents — a mixture of folk, country, gospel, R&B, and down South blues. A nice-sized portion of our Next Steps, including the ravenous "The Wolf Is at Your Door" and "I Have a Little Girl," comes from his Chess sessions. These cuts featured the fretwork of his longtime collaborator, guitarist Hubert Sumlin, as he laid down the template for Chicago blues, which was embraced by virtually every U.K. rock band worth mentioning, and then deflected right back at us across the pond.
