[biffster73]

biggidy badass

[TheTeddyRadiator]

Nobody does it like the wolf - he was the real deal. Honestly the best in the business - and well loved as well. His voice can make a good girl think some bad thoughts.

[mpo1107]

Love the Wolf.

[MrZeus169]

I love howling wolf....love that voice

[kumayrocktoo]

One of the best blues plater, when he was not drunk.

[zthetha]

I saw him in the sixties on the uk folk blues tour with sonny boy and a host of other greats and he was awesome. It was a big venue - wudda been better in a small club but - hey - who's complaining.

[TheDeltabluesboy]

thank robert johnson for this THIS IS THE BLUES

[sdpate100]

This is a groove - one of the best



[sdpate100]

[TheJeebieJar]

[garymelissaaz]

Baaaad hombre there!  Thanks for posting!

[SINNERSTRONG]

how is it that there are 6 dislikes for this footage?

[fstrc02]

He was one in a million. A true legend.

[laurierken]

This here is about as good as it gets. Every rocker in the world owes everything to the blues.

[knavel1]

In the Keith Richards book he says that the first time he saw Brian Jones, Brian was playing this song. So of course I had to check it out.

Lo and behold, there's Howlin' fukking Wolf doing it. There is NO ONE more awesome and just ....well everything...than this guy. He's so massive that the harmonic looks like a pitch pipe in his mouth. RIP Howlin, RIP Brian...you are my close friends in this idle chaos called life.

[CT27NX]

sweaty son of a gun, hooooooowwwwllllll!!!! aaaaaaauuuuuuuu!!!!

[kapacon]

badass..............

[mickmarsh]

Best ever.



[godkingRoss]

shag me, i've got stuff to do, really important stuff but i can't stop watching this bloke.

I wonder what he'd think of me sitting at a laptop and neglecting me shit cause of his stupendous superbness....

[JimmyRoquette]

@godkingRoss he'd probably say you got the watchin' blues blues

[handymix]

What's the harmonica's key?

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

@handymix The song is in D so youd need a G harp

[handymix]

@GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep thanks!



[rjanis123]

Howlin' done dusted his brooom .. who knew there was a version of this out there floating about?

[upfromunder]

I got ta see Son House and Wolf live back in the day. I'd sure nuff dust the Wolf's broom...

[indianadogz]

man, i'd love to have that Firebird leanin' on the wall...

[msteras]

I wonder if sun house was drinkin moonshine?

[schmirtygurt]

Woah. Quality sh1t. Rough neck. Top blues man.

[Breitheamhnaig]

gaun yersel wolf elmore would be proud.

[matthewTmccourt]

nobody on chess laid it down like the wolf....this is the real stuff...(out of tune?- damn those comments are crazy -its about the feelin

[madFlam1]

great band

[badhands22]

Toooooo Good

[darc1362]

Electric Chicago blues at its finest. Yes Sir Mr. Wolf!

[supaman8990]

look at hubert go boi damn

[rjanis123]

ya' need to understand TWO things about this song... FIRST this was a Robert Johnson Classic... Howlin' Wolf Rips it up ! and SECOND .. "dusting your broom" means leaving your woman.. it's from the days of boarding houses, when one was expected to clean the place when they leave

what an awesome find.. thanks for posting this !!

Robert Started everything.. and Howlin' was in my humble opinion, one of the, if not the very best !

[TheSocratease]

@rjanis123 robert didn't start everything. his mythology is just that, myth created by people who have never set foot in the delta and are clueless about all the musicians of the region. robert johnson has his place, but really now, the blues does not start or stop with him.

[mta415]

looks like 2 dislikes, they must have either hit it by accident or saw "dust" and "broom" and thought it had Madonna or Rap in it or something!

[ixis99]

Hubert rules!

[alexalot23]

GO HEAD MR. CHESTER BURNETT. ONE OF THE GREATEST.

[1johnlangford2]

Their all out of tune and shit. Cracks me up. Howlin Wolf right on the money though. If it wasn't for alcohol, what fun would we have. Dancin' with the girls, drinking with the boys and Howlin' at the moon.

Great video. Man! them good ole days just too long away. Worst thing you had to worry about was being home on time for dinner. Cause if you wasn't, you didn't get none. She just be bitchin' and moanin' all night long and not cause you gettin' some. Where you been, why you be out so late!!!

[SJMoscol]

@1johnlangford2

tuners and A 440 wasnt exactly everywhere in those days

[willwelsh816]

@1johnlangford2 they actually normally tuned to the piano, so the piano would play each string)ie a E,A,D,G,and B,E for the guitar) so the piano probably wasn't that great there.

[8aPeach2]

I believe the WOLF could beat the living shit out of Mike Tyson then write a song about it......He's one big, bad-ass, two-fisted S.O.B.

[Gageisrasta]

@8aPeach2 plantation'll make you a tough ass SOB

[danmack650cx]

The Wolf is one badass .......

[Rowland108]

Hubert Sumlin Guitar - Wow

[johnleelyon]

never mind the sex pistols THIS is the BOLLOCKS

[skeptyky]

QUE DU BONHEUR AVEC HOWLIN/MUDDY/ ETTA JAMES/JOHN LEE HOOKER ETC...... THANKS ' I LIKE IT !!

[Gallagherfreak100]

Now that's some serious blues. 40 years ago I would have hated this. Now, I don't listen to anything else.

[streetgeezer]

Where is this from? Is this available somewhere?

THANKS :D

[wglanman]

my time aint long

[robonez]

Wolf was the real deal!!!

Man, I got goosebumps all over just listening to that tune!

What an inspiration!

[caecus65]

Look and listen how Howlin' Wolf sings from his hurt, not only his voice. Unique!

[MrArrpee]

@caecus65 Can you imagine that there exists something,that could hurt to Howlin Wolf..? Because I cant.. :D just look at him,he was strong as hell...

[danbo1138]

Was that guy at the begining saying 'Niice' in French?

[AtmaRising]

SG bass?

[me86680]

@AtmaRising yeah, you can still get them. dont know if they are still being issued, but you can def still find them!

[rogerstill71]

These guys were MUSICIANS!

[shannonandsheila1]

@trevytrev123 that old head is son house

[barbequebobmaglinte]

I can never get enough of Howlin' Wolf.

[kneapoe51]

Wolf and Hubert Layin' it Down! This is best cover that I've heard bar none, and I've seen, heard and Felt alot of great ones. WOLF is LEGEND!

[cdvicious]

one of the best covers th this wonderfull song

[ZUXAZZ]

Now, THAT'S blues for you!

[charly9927]

just awesome! what an incredible voise and feeling!

[bigwillhenk]

nice i like the wolf

[squeakystool]

Good to see Son House at his side snapping his fingers, one of the teachers to the Wolf.

[howlingsandy]

My friend Wolf reached out from his unique spirit, helping others get more in touch with their own. BB King said " I’m telling you, I’ve never heard anybody sing like Wolf did that night. He sang so well till I almost cried. He was one of a kind. Nobody I heard before him or after him has had that fantastic delivery, that certain something in his voice that seemed like a sword that’d pierce your soul when he’d sing ... To my mind, he’s one of the greatest ever. We’ll never see another like him!"

[zthetha]

I never realised this was about tidying up - thought it was about having a wank - you learn something every day! HW has an amazing voice which always sounds to me like it has to fight its way out of his throat. Saw him on thr Folk Blues tour back in the sixties - he was sensational.

[rha101]

One dislike is one to many. Wolf is great.

[hankscorpio1x1]

Best Ever! 

[johnleelyon]

theeeee man!

[1954telecaster]

thanks for the phone number at the beginning there, i'll be sure to call

[azkeyz]

The song tittle reminds me of the african wedding tradition where the couple would jump accross a broom , so called black people whom I know good and well are israelites should give up silly tradition and unify with us whites more in music.

My bad , I can see they do.

[bigwillhenk]

i love it

[mtyemti]

Wolf And Hubert could lay that shit Down like no other except Maybe Muddy and Little Walter.

[ASAdamson]

These guys are making it happen right here. My bones are chillin!!!

[saguaroboy]

@ASAdamson Mofo's on the other side of the grass and he's scarin' me!

[shayanaali]

black people rejected blues when it came out, a shame really, if only the black folk in america had supported their blues artists, how many black people have probably gone through the years without ever picking up a guitar, u never know, there could have been another howling wolf out there somewhere, instead we have hip hop and rap. black people grab a guitar and see if you got it.

[mta415]

@shayanaali how can you say "black people rejected blues when it came out" when all of the blues artist where black? Plus you have to remember the average Black had little or no monies or a phonograph to play anything on. Radio or Juke was the only way we got to hear it. The Holy Rollers didn't like it much but they were the minority of the Minority. That's like saying that whites rejected the Beatles because some stations refused to play "that music" from those kids with long hair.

[conradbkk]

As good as Elmore James' version is, this one kicks ass.

[msrbutch]

obviously it doesn't get any bluesier-or better-than this. However, I was also interested to see Hubert Still kind of moves his head the same way when he plays today. Btw I'm not saying anything negative bc I think the world of these performers.

[kmuham2]

That's my dad on the sax he can still play well guitar and organ too and the storie he can tell you...

[codehendrix]

is 2:44 SON HOUSE?????

[jlemko]

Affirmative.

[Baddoggone]

Howlin' Wolf was one of the greatest Blues artist I had the pleasure of seeing.

[BluesGeek]

Interesting comments here on blues and on rap.The blues has always been about

the spirit and reflection of the human

condition. For many today, that is what

Rap represents. And although I dont care much for Rap for my own musical tastes,

I must agree.

[BluesGeek]

This footage first saw the light of day for

mass consumption when it was released

on VHS tape on a production called:

The Devil Got My Women - Blues At

Newport 1965. It also featured Skip

James, Bukka White, Son House, &

Pearly Brown. I think it first came out

in the mid to late 80's? anyone?

[elslappo]

Also, the chord playing bassist !

[nystan1]

check out Noel Redding some time....playing chords....

[elslappo]

Send me a link !

[nystan1]

I used to work with Noel....never paid much attention to it...but guys like that also were rhythm guitarists...Noel was. Betcha this guy was as well....listen to hendrix and you can hear him playing chords. Phil Lesh in the Dead used to do it, too...not sure exactly where on video you can see it...I used to watch Noel doing it every day.

[elslappo]

LOVE the miniature toy harmonica !

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

Its actual size he just has big ol hands

[elslappo]

It was a joke ;-)

[casu3]

for me the wolf can be a friend whit snoop dog not for the music but because the 2 of them are pimps and from a bad hood and they know the abuse of the white man commits againts anything thats not white

[nystan1]

who writes your material? Pimp?? what the fuck is wrong with you? The guy was a brilliant artist.

[NeoTRP]

um, you are attacking the wrong guy. of course the guy is brilliant. I was commenting on some other guy's comment.

[nystan1]

sorry...yeah-The Wolf. Teaching Clapton and Keith where to come in...classic.

[trickydickkkkk]

There will only ever be one and only WOLF!!!

[whiteyconwell]

The man in the hat standing next to the sax player is the legendary bluesman Sun House.

[ArikBulldog]

Remind me Stevie Ray's Boot Hill.

[jj10princess]

Superb

[sisterdiggins]

Happy Birthday Chester!

Amazing version of one of the best songs ever written.

[Jagermeister196]

yessir!

[AFVABMDES]

Maravilhoso! Viva o Blues!!

[alive42]

/cheer yeah man fucking they should world wide band rap / hip hop and push metal + blues

[sisterdiggins]

uh, why ruin it?

Good to recognize , but it is good the way it is.

[alive42]

Ruin what? rap and hip hop have ruined themselfs might as well get rid of them..

[claptongroupie]

@alive42 You got that right

[J5MARLON]

@alive42 Blues was the voice of my grandparents generation and rap is the voice of my generation. I dont want to be racist but you cant understand the blues/Hip Hop if you cant understand where the people come from and why they perform it.

[alive42]

@J5MARLON i dont mean to be rude and offend everyone but music that needs to inform the people of the date the time and the people who are singing more then once or even once for that matter is kinda a insult to the people are they really that stupid they dont know what artist's song they just bought? there are some artists i dont mind but the majority that do the stupid non needed repetition have in my view ruined a genre

[toboulore]

@J5MARLON anyone with soul burning inside understands the blues my friend...no matter color or origin...i'll send you something to see what i mean...

[J5MARLON]

@toboulore

You did nice song but my feeling Blues was of that era The same can be said about Punk being the 70s and 80s. I guess there will be a young generation to replicate Chet Atkins guitar but would it be real Country western or just imitation. In other words you can play like Robert Johnson but can you play like toboulore.

[toboulore]

@J5MARLON 1st of all,"toboulore" is my channel's nickname,not an artist.i'm not the one to tell if Hazy's playing and singing is original.you are free to explore my channel and listen to his songs,and you can make your own opinion about his overall performance,considering that this guy isn't even american.and plz name ONE musician who is not influenced or even replicating somebody else's technics.it's a chain reaction...but if you think he's just a replica...well,who am i to change your mind?

[AgentZeroForTheWin]

metal has nothing to do ith blues metal is worse than rap

[nassreiskulturen]

it is

[cw1310]

@AgentZeroForTheWin You are a stupid piece or shit.

[hayden50]

one of the best blues artists ever ! look what has happened to black americans today ! all hooked up on hip hop (trash music).shame!!!

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

Hip Hop is just modern day blues and or funk

[JohnBohnam223]

But when we break rap down musically and look at it from a MUSICAL standpoint - you will see NO similarities to soul, funk, or blues.

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

@JohnBohnam223 Are you serious? theres huge influence Hip Hop even samples alot of soul, funk, and blues all of them have similiar song structure, and subject matter (women, pain, money, etc.) dont just look at Soulja Boy and think thats Hip Hop theres a huge list of similiarities

[Gyrode]

I though early rap sampled 60's and 70's rock? and even 80's rock. Bands like Def Leppard, Nazareth, or blues rock....frankly I don't think blues musicians ever want to be associated with that....they didn't even want to be associated with rock and roll.

[pecne]

hell yeah:D:D

Wolf had it all!!!!

[scalisema]

The Wolf put shit DOWN!!!!!!!

[desertvox1]

The Wolf tells it like it is!

[foolintherain116]

great rendition... there's fire comin out of that harp!

[esharpcool]

Wow!that was outragious.
