  • For the full story on Wolf, please read the excellent bio, Moanin' At Midnight: The Life and Times of Howlin' Wolf, by Segret & Hoffman. Holy mack'l!

  • Well he certainly sounds well miffed at her death on the record, it is very good, dont know what label its on.

    You heard dat?

  • Hi 9th

    Wolf does a number think its My mother died, you got dat?

    He is real down about his ma, fine blues feelin.

  • @gitfiddlejim I don't know. His mother refused to take any money from him because of his profession. His mother hated his music describing it as the "Devil's music". As to how the relation fared in the latter stages of their lives, I don't know.

  • thanks for posting the song,

  • @howlingsandy You're welcome!

  • THE legendary blues giant.. the story of our special connection is on my website howlingwolfphotos Wolf was kind to women, not abusive, though his own mother kicked him out of the house for good at age 9 to become virtually enslaved and starved by a sadistic great-uncle until escaping at age 13 , to keep from being beaten to death...In fact he killed a man for abusing a woman he had been having an affair with. and when meeting his future wife:Lillie, their love story was most beautiful

  • @howlingsandy I'll bow out to your expertise. Thanks for the info.

  • Another Blues Giant!

  • @MrPHBarr1919 You got dat right!
