My personal review and reflection:
I never had the opportunity to see Howlin' Wolf live. It must have been something!! Howlin' Wolf plays his old songs on this album, and does it with a strong feeling. He is surrounded by great white musicians. Eric, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. They give Howlin' a super backing.
