The Super Super Blues Band

Performer: Howlin' Wolf
Artist: Otis Spann; Buddy Guy; Hubert Sumlin
Producer: Andy McKaie (Compilation)
Distributor: Bayside Record Dist.

Notes: Full performer name: Bo Diddley/Muddy Waters/Howlin' Wolf. Personnel includes: Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters (vocals, guitar); Howlin' Wolf (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Cookie Vee (vocals, tambourine); Hubert Sumlin (guitar); Otis Spann (piano); Buddy Guy (bass); Clifton James (drums). Recorded in September 1967. Originally released on Checker (3010). Includes liner notes by Richard Meltzer and Andy McKaie. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Featuring Bo Diddley stubbing his toe on a wah-wah pedal, Wolf and Muddy clearly ill at ease trying to sing songs they don't know and a super annoying female chorus giving out banshee shrieks approximately every 45 seconds, this is one very chaotic, untogether super session to try and wade through. ~ Cub Koda

Charles "Howlin' Wolf" Burnett's menacing, guttural vocals are among the blues' most distinctive sounds. His Chess recordings, including "Smokestack Lightning" and "Little Red Rooster," are landmarks which altered the flow of blues history and helped pave the way for rock 'n' roll. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Howlin' Wolf never really faded away (only to be rediscovered), but continued to tour constantly almost up until his death in 1976 of natural causes. Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Sonny Boy Williamson make up the Holy Trinity of Chicago blues, an electrified, mid-20th century urban genre that profoundly influenced the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, and countless others.
