Play_List

This is the classic teaming of master and student. In 1971, when Howlin’ Wolf met Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and Ian Stewart for this recording, the Wolf had long been established as one of the all-time blues greats. His accompanying cast was a literal Who’s Who of white British rockers. Not that the Wolf was impressed. He apparently was somewhat skeptical of the idea of recording with white Brits. But the music tells quite another story. Captured were fantastic versions of "Sittin’ On Top Of The World," "Little Red Rooster" and "Killing Floor" among other Wolf standards. Also onboard was Hubert Sumlin, the guitar virtuoso whose funky, impossible-to-imitate licks made Wolf’s music that much more recognizable. In fact, Clapton reportedly refused to do this session until the producers, who were trying to save money by leaving Sumlin out, agreed to include Sumlin. Clapton knew that Howlin’ Wolf was only Chester Burnett (his real name) without Hubert Sumlin.

- hi-fi+

One of the most prominent figures in late 20th century blues, singer/multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal played an enormous role in revitalizing and preserving traditional acoustic blues. Not content to stay within the realm, Mahal soon broadened his approach, taking a musicologist's interest in a multitude of folk and roots music from around the world. Beautifully remastered from the analog master tapes by Ray Staff at Alchemy Soho.
