Little Howlin' Wolf - anybody heard him?

There was a story in the Chicago Reader about this guy last week, aex-street singer and schizo Wesley Willis type. I've heard a couple MP3s of his older stuff on the WFMU blog. Wondering if anyone has heard the new album that Nautical Almanac put out on their label.
Is it worth ordering?

i used to have a lot of his stuff on my computer, but when i changed jobs, i lost it all.

true vine records guy/n0ize dude/baltimorean ian nagoski is a huuuuge LHW booster, and he worked with the nautical almanac dudes to release A LOT of LHW's stuff recently. he's a good resource and a cool dude.

I have a 45 he released on the Knight label that is extremely whacked-out blues. Out of time, out of tune, makes T-Model Ford sound like Robert Cray - that's why I love it so. I think it's from the eighties, going by the font on the label.

I used to see him playing sax on Chicago's Michigan Avenue bridge in the eighties...

a friend played me a guy called howling wilf, who is actually a sam cooke soundalike, complete with late 50s production values
