Beta, I own the 7" single taken from the psych LP ("Evil" b/w "Tail Dragger") but that's all.

got the tracklisting for this?
I was listening to a sun records comp last night and it had a howling wolf track (I haven't got it with me right now so i can't tell you the title) but the timing on that is quite something- he comes in late, and just when you're thinking that's wrong he makes it right.

HOWLIN' WOLF ('the Rocking Chair LP') (Chess 1469) released January 11 1962 (see Liner notes for this album)Shake For Me / The Red Rooster / You'll Be Mine / Who's Been Talkin' / Wang Dang Doodle / Little Baby / Spoonful / Going Down Slow / Down In The Bottom / Back Door Man / Howlin' For My Baby / Tell Me
― o. nate (onate), Friday, 4 June 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)
is this the only howlin wolf thread?
anyway the other night i watched this, which is really good. great interviews with hubert sumlin and others. performance clips of wolf are terrific, and there's a good (if kind of sad) scene backstage where he's giving son house shit for being an old drunk.
― tipsy mothra, Monday, 28 January 2008 03:17 (eighteen years ago)
That's a great flick. I don't think they're even backstage when he gives Son House a hard time! Also, this has the great "Shindig!" clip I'd never seen, with all the Stones looking awed by someone else for once in their lives. He's got great moves.

oops. well anyway it's this album, which i haven't heard.

And then there was that bizarre Message To The Young LP where Chess tried to make him a soul singer.
Little Milton, he wasn't.
― Rev. Hoodoo, Monday, 28 January 2008 08:37 (eighteen years ago)
Whoa! So, who had that idea first, Muddy Waters or Wolf??
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Monday, 28 January 2008 08:40 (eighteen years ago)
Whoa! So, who had that idea (of doing a psych album) first, Muddy Waters or Wolf??
Neither one - both were producer Marshall Chess' ideas - but Muddy's Electric Mud came first, and then Wolf's LP followed close behind. (And Muddy had a second psychedelic album, After The Rain.)

The version of "Evil" on the Cactus live thing Rhino Handmade put out last year has to be heard to believed.
― Bill Magill, Monday, 28 January 2008 15:57 (eighteen years ago)
As big as his catalogue is, you think we'd get to EVERYTHING?
Although I gotta big-up a track I haven't seen yet - "I'll Be Around," or as the Wolf sings it, "I'll Be Arouuuuuuuund"...
― Rev. Hoodoo, Monday, 28 January 2008 16:18 (eighteen years ago)
are there any wolf records with that tight lineup he plays with on the newport dvd? he's got sam jones on sax, but he's playing it uhh staccato? i guess, all short notes. i know he played with those guys a lot, but it seems like a different sound live. i haven't seen the film in forever (bukka white's awesome in it too, and son house is pretty miserable) but it comes back to me a lot. sax-centric wolf recommendations appreciated.

^^ i decide to check this out every six months ago when i remember sam jones' playing

No proper Howlin' Wolf thread on ILM? Shame!

What would be a good first purchase for the Wolf?

Ok so watching "the howlin' wolf story" doc right now and it's a pretty decent documentary but mote importantly holy shit theres some amazing archival footage here, of wolf and others. Pretty awesome, available as soon as I send this copy back to netflix next week

Also good as a reminder of what a scary creepy looking motherfucker Sam Phillips was

Great grandchildren due for big royalties from The Wolf of Wall Street. (Will have to share them with the Lemonheads and Plastic Bertrand.)

Do you know who his favorite singer was coming up?

Charlie Patton, I believe
― Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Monday, 14 April 2014 20:40 (twelve years ago)
That's what I would have said, but recently read something different.

Actually you are right. What I read was about a somewhat surprising influence on his style.
― Lem E. Killdozer (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 01:30 (twelve years ago)
Read that he started out trying to imitate Jimmie Rodgers but "I couldn't do no yodelin' so I turned to howlin'. And it's done me just fine."
