Comment:

Howlin' Wolf's path, from the Mississippi to Memphis to Chicago to London, virtually shadows rock 'n' roll's own geographic journey from the '40s and '50s through the '60s and '70s. It went something like this: He established the music's template, and everyone who came after merely added volume and technique. See, Wolf was the original American bluesman, refracting slave hollers and gospel spirituals through a modern, urban mirror that upped the stakes and captured the fancy of a generation feeling its own way through the jungle. The throaty vocals cut like a knife, soothed by a mournful harp, a plucked guitar, and a solitary foot tapping the ground. "I'm a long way from home, and I can't sleep at all," he moans in "Evil." Truth is, Howlin' Wolf's music still keeps us up at night.
