  • This is why I got upgraded speakers. 

  • lol, gibson put up a video, and who's got the top comment, 1952Telecaster...

  • BUEN TEMA,BUEN MAESTRO

  • This is GREAT music "HEAR"!!! The origins of GREAT ROCK & ROLL!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!

  • God, I wish I had been able to have seen him live!

  • This man just epitomized the blues, it was truly in his blood, which was probably blue in color, whatta' legend, that booming powerful voice of his could cause dried paint to peel. His guitar sidekick, Hubert Sumlin just passed away 12/04/11, I'm sure heaven is really rockin' now, with Howlin' Wolf & Hubert Sumlin playing together again, but only now, they can play on forever. R.I.P. Howlin' Wolf & Hubert Sumlin, you both have left lasting musical legacies...

  • @3811iberis god bless

  • I would love to be able to download this song or find it on a album of some kind. I would most certainly buy it if i knew where or how.

  • @ojibwaydog

    youtube  How to Download Songs from YouTube for Free

  • Incredible! 

  • The piano sounds slightly out of tune - but out of tune these guys sound better than most of the (c)rap being played today.

    And to the old stodgy white radio program directors in Cincinnati - you are long forgotten and Wolf and Muddy will live forever. Man I missed some great music as a kid. It's good we have youtube so I can listen now.

  • @boothl232 Not really out o' tune...its been digitised wrong....the original prolly sucked too....fil/real reel to reel tape outta sync

  • When you have the blues you feel out of tune, don't you?

  • @DONNIMETROPOLIS313 yeah i until about :45 sec mark i thought it just wasn't together. Now, I think it was the piano players fault more for he should be following Wolf. The sounded like they were playing two diff openings.

  • I think the guitar is out of tune.

  • @davec3487 ...yes out of tune...like many blues artist....a different intuneness.....still way cool.

  • man that was a rough start.......

  • @mdigital21 lol, really?

  • love seeing the live performances where he is playing the guitar! Thanks so much for posting this one! One of the greats for sure. Swanee

  • 5 dislikes = 5 ass cancers + 5 brain hemmorhoids

  • This is GREAT I love the blues and this is one of the best.

    Is he playing an ES175 Gibson, It's an f hole wide body.

  • All these bad ass blues dude would come to the bay area and play the clubs and the filmore,and show us how its done in the south.Play hard and party harder.

  • they ussta tell me tall story bought what the wolf would do!!

    He howl!!!aaaaawhooooo  Chester said that

  • An American Original

  • I´ll be back someday. From The American folk Blues Festival, 1962-1966 series, volume two. What a moving Bluesman!

  • They don't sing like that anymore, what a shame.

  • i cant believe people are mentioning that little pricks name up on a masterpiece like this with the legend thats howlin. sick off the shit all over blues artist videos its wearing thin.

  • thank you for sharing gibson....oh yeah, thanks for building my darling guitar too!

  • One of the most unique singers of all time!

  • CHESTER ARTHUR BURNETT THE GREATEST BLUES SINGER OF ALL TIME!

  • @shonda603 HELL YEA !  Can i get a Amen ?

  • 5 people don't even like themselves, or pie, or beauty...

  • thank you youtube, for jems like this. almost makes the ads worth it (almost)

  • If you dislike this, you dislike music!

  • Listened to this song before buying HW's vinyl LP with this song. God bless the Brits like Clapton and Page, for saving the old Chess masters from those whose heads were spun by the pretty boys de jour.

    Please listen to HW's recording of Willie Dixon's "Back Door Man", another classic Then listen to The Door's version, ".I'm a back door man: the big girls know what the little girls don't understand". Thank you your honor. I rest my case about Justin Beiber; but those little girls buy music.

  • @ObscureJude0 you said it, brother

  • Music for the ages.

  • 4 people are obviously Justin Beiber fans. i pity you

  • 4 people should slap themselves for hitting the dislike button

  • what year is this in?

  • White fat people look stupid, fat black people look like great bluesmen

  • this man was one of a kind and probably was the only one that didnt go broke like others

  • @Mslovely1919 he did go broke i thinkmate eric clapton payed for his graveheadstone because there was no money to buy 1.

  • pure live wolf

  • There are really only a few Musicians who can play the Blues like it sould be, the most are trying hard, but the most fail so hard, Howlin is one of those Outstanding Blues man !!!!

  • John Mayer DOES NOT PLAY THE BLUES!

  • All blues players are the forefathers of jazz and rock. I agree about these young men and women who rap-listen to real music. This is the birth of todays music.

  • Not just rap stars; millions of wheedly-deedly wanna be "blues guitar gods" could learn a thing or two by watching this video.

  • Captain Beefheart obviously took some cues from The Wolf.

  • Sheer , raw, talent!!

  • Yeah Wolf is surely the greatest! I'd challenge anyone to show me a more soulful heatfelt performer! Every time Wolf stepped up he gave it total commitment.

  • @djangolad I would contend that Otis has a place at the table with Wolf. His performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 67' is one of the best live performances ever. It just drips with yearning, verve and down and dirty soulfulness. I think we should just create a knights of the round table so that all the great blues and soul artists can be represented. Although that would be one big ass table.

  • If there's a god. this is his son : Jezz in' Wolf

  • the name of the song el nombre de la cancion

  • dude I love KISS and rock and blues but dude no one is better then Howlin Wolf the voice, the blues, riffs everything is so good and the lyrics

  • give me 4 bullets!

  • My favorite blues man, the tail dragger.

  • AWSOME MUSIC!! BLUES WILL NEVER DIE! :D

  • Now THIS...is the blues. THIS is the real thing. All the super polished young turks today have nothing on this. That is all.

  • At first I was shocked about how intense Wolf was. He is a true bluesman and his voice is unique

  • @TheSkootertrash - Please, leave rap out of it!...This is excellent music...but you can say the same about any other music....what the hell is any music. Country music talk about immoral situations like any music.

  • Man, that is so amazing, so much soul, feel, true emotion!

  • He sounds like a lost soul. So phenomenal. The epitome of soul, there's no artist performing today like him. We miss you HW, thanks for the music.

  • He sounds like a lost soul. So phenomenal. The epitome of soul, there's no artist performing today like him. We miss you HW, thanks for the music.

  • there would be no rock if not for these guys as a rock player i say thank you

  • Mozart would have flipped n'rocked with this magnificent musician, take it from me ...

  • I wonder if the rock stars looked at this and said , Ill use this for myself..oh yeah, they did

  • first and foremost this music is amazing!!!

    second to all the RAP HATERZ.. i wonder if african americans go to vids for grand old opry musicians and make racist comments concerning the state of modern rock.... stop being stupid, stop being racist. your just bringing up rap because this artist is black. stop with the racism.. i know it's hard. but there are plenty of hitler vids and nascar ads on this website so... have at it:)

  • Comment removed

  • you can't look down on rap stars for what they do, you can't look down on what punk rock was and what they think is now. Music has always been confused... If someone was to come out this good even in this time. I think they would make just as great an impact. They would slap a label and a price on it tho..... If you had a voice and ambition these guys had..... You would make your mark. We lack the ambition.

  • gritty

  • Pick it baby!

  • What excellent and most vintage footage!

    

  • Awsome music, right to the heart and soul, thanks for sharing...

  • I wish I could have had the opportunity to see him LIVE! Classic, Wow! 

  • Well said Skooter - Fuck a Rap

  • Wolf is the best.

  • This man was so real. So glad I got ears to hear and a heart that can ache!

  • music aint no time and no place yall. it aint no competition. it aint no smart or stupid dang. its like when ur 14 n runnin away from home fer the f'n 8th time sleepin in a old grass alley an its gettin cold....u cant think....an when u finally get in the room with some food u hear this on a plastic record.....if ur fightin over music ur in the wrong place.....

  • @kellyanquoe "music aint no time and no place yall. it aint no competition." I like this post - it's poetic.

  • Way down in the woods...............

  • It's long been a fantasy of mine to have been able to have seen him perform live. Too bad :(

  • I love this music.

  • I don't really care for Rap but it all should be taken in context a lot of rappers are singing about what they know in a medium they have access to

  • This guy was amazing.....

  • nice blues wolf

  • @JackShack actually that is Sunnyland Slim tickling those keys.

  • @jdanderson2 Agreed. Sunnyland on the keys, plus the incomparable Sumlin on guitar & Willie Dixon on bass. Great vid!

  • The word is - he always took good care of his side musicians - paid them well. Not a man to cross, however.

  • The word is - He wouldn't let 'em play if their shoes weren't shined.

  • killer keys. he knows how

  • whos that pianist? the man is mindblowing..

  • @purplestain24 It's Memphis Slim on the piano.

  • The piano playing is so sweet.

  • sorry my english....but in Piracicaba-BRASIL...I´m delirious!!!!!

  • wow.

  • I wish a bunch of those so called "rap stars" would look at this. Then look in the mirror and ask themselves, "WTF are we doing?"

  • tell it like it is.

  • @TheSkootertrash So true my friend . . .

  • what an immature comment i hate rap but its a different genre and its more closely related to this music than u think

  • @TheSkootertrash I hear ya brother....

  • @TheSkootertrash , mejor dicho imposible. They should return the money, pull up the pants, wash their faces and shut TFU...

  • @TheSkootertrash

    You are so right! I'm bettn' all the classical musicians like Beethoven, Mozart, etc., would have loved the blues. And, they would think Rap music was shit, like most of us think it is today!

  • @HoboGus takin' his time, relaxing and making music instead of thinking of the buck...

  • @TheSkootertrash ...Duh?....they're getting paid, it's the American way.....

  • @TheSkootertrash ...Duh?....they're getting paid, it's the American way.....Wolf reflects the strength and integrity he needed just to survive. Rappers reflect ....uhhh...something....

  • @TheSkootertrash a "like button" isn't good enough for your comment

    can I get an AMEN

  • @TheSkootertrash as much as I like this comment, one could say that hip hop is an extension of blues music. a lot of it carries the same passion that only comes from a deeper part of the soul.

  • @TheSkootertrash They can look at their bank accounts and see their sucess reflected just fine.......don't it just make you sick? Poor old Howlin probably never dreamed people could become bazillionaires doing whatever the hell it is they do. Gotta admit though, Snoop and , shit what's his name, enima and enima, no M and M, they got the same thing Howlin did, and all the greats. Hell I'm 60 and I like a lot I hear from them. Course they ain't on NPR real often. ;O)

  • @505197 Uh, we've never met but I believe you are my father. If you ain't, how come we both got the same brain? Why Dad?

  • @TheSkootertrash - You are so right! That's what I wonder too.

  • @TheSkootertrash

    So true!!!

  • @TheSkootertrash RAP STARS SUCKS BUT RAP MUSIC HAS BIG ARTISTS.

  • @TheSkootertrash Not just the rappers...all those crack head devil worshipers too rock and roll people too.

  • @TheSkootertrash Exactly! They also don't know what soul music is, you know Motown.

  • natural original.....clean...and soft ....blues the way they play....

  • He was a force of Nature

  • hard drinkin" big man...love him

  • I don't think he was a hard drinking man as he was very careful with his money and career

  • @ratzbiker QUIT RESPONDING TO THIS STUPID POST...IT'S BEEN MONTHS AND THIS IS THE 4TH? TIME!!! GO AWAY.

  • @llymphs oh dear someones angry eh?

  • @llymphs not really...it's just a waste of time...ooo all caps! i'm so angwy. didn't even notice. please forgive me for ruffling your peachfuzz.. am trying to recover from pneumonia and i am just a litte snappy. am in rx hell. i do appreciate your taste in music though. i lived in memphis 6 yrs and met a bunch of old bluesmen and rockers. luv ya.

  • he NEVER fell into that trap that so many blues musicians of the time did with money problems, gambling, etc. He even offered health insurance to his band players - earning him the best of the best. he drove a station wagon instead of a flashy car, which he could have done - very successful with his money throughout his career....

  • Awesome

  • all i can say is "Sweetness"

  • I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE TH IS SHIT MAN !

  • lol yeah

  • glad someone else agrees djboony, i am sure more do ,but dont want to be seen saying something wrong about a pop star.

  • It's not that we don't agree, we just don't care what he looks like.

  • Is That Pine Top on Keys??

  • yes man!. I'm crying!

  • I wish I'd have got the chance to see Wolf live, this is awesome, made even more so by the clip of a young Hubert too, Love both these guys

  • For Above films.That is a track off the london sessions, it's rare but just buy the album. It's called "Aint Goin Down that Dirt Road". The song that is, its also off the Chess Box. Howl on brother!

  • howlin wolf was a force. of. nature.

  • You ain't never lied !

  • is that a gibson?? lol....prolly......awesome jam...this here groove......

  • this is so amazing.

    finally found the father of bob dylan and tom waits (and surely a lot more others).

    thx

  • on bob dylan's radio program out of new york, he played Howlin Wolf playing "I asked her to bring me water" (I think that's what it's called, or Bring Me Water."

    After it finished playing, the normally stoic bob, said, "Holy Moley that is so good."

    I think the Bobster likes Howlin Wolf, who wouldn't?

  • yeah bob dylan does a great cover of smokestack lightning called tell me baby, look it up on youtube its great man

  • @loserswin783 Amen

  • nuthin' wrong with bob dylan. just ask the many black artists who covered his songs.

  • imagine all the money people made other than the makers of the music. can't help but sing the blues.

  • anybody know the name of that howlin wolf song where he sings in the hook "I AIN'T GOIN DOWN....DIRT ROAD BY MYSELF....AND IF I HAVE TO CARRY YOU BABY, I'M GONNA CARRY SOMEBODY ELSE...." ?

  • Ain't Goin' Down That Dirt Road it's on ' The Genuine Article'

  • only an idiotic white supremacist would come up with something so ignorant.

  • u A JEALOUS MOTHER FUCKER

  • My favorite two guitarists Howlin' Wolf and Hubert Sumlin.

  • waw que grande eras howlin wolf ese lobo

  • AND THE REST COPIED HIM AND SO MANY OTHER "ORIGINALS". SO MANY NEVER GOT THE REAL CREDIT THEY DESERVED. I met a young boy that plays GUITAR in his school orchestra today at MCDONALDS and he didn't know who CHUCK BERRY was. He had told me he loved ACDC and I said THAT'S COOL but if not for CHUCK ,,THEY WOULDN'T BE ACDC,,HE SAID WHO'S CHUCK BERRY??

  • chuck berry got robbeed of success.

    dont mean to sound like a dick but do u no who the first king of england was without lookin him up? its kinda the same in the sense that chuck started it all but this kid looks and idolizes people they play on the radio alot. he cant help that hes mainstream as much of us were. hopefully he'll realise his error and come over to the blues.

  • I'm 14, I'm a skinny white kid. I wish I was a big black man, with a big voice like his. But I'm stuck sounding like bob dylan. Go fig.

  • There ain't no skinnier or whiter kid then Johnny Winter, and he's considered one of the best guitarists. He plays like these old boys, picks with all his fingers, a pick, uses a slide, he does it all and well. Bob Dylan, Neil Young and many others don't have a good voice but they had a different voice, history wouldn't be the same with out them.

  • Amen to that.

  • ddecto: maaaaan, you made me laugh!

  • if you work at smoking lots of cigarettes you can possibly sound like that at about 20

  • No you don't.

  • I worship this guy. The best blues artist ever !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amen! No body put it down like Chester

  • Epic clip. Thankyou GibsonGuitarCorp.

  • Again.Chester,you are IT!!!

  • the vocal is ahead of the video but cool anyway love the wolf!!

  • The Wolf was my favorite, was blessed with seeing him perform in the 60's. Great video.

  • I am totally overwhelmed with this artist, thumbs up

  • The greatest Blues singer ever. If you have a sub woofer with your pc you'll know what i mean when i say this stuff actually shakes the house

  • This song makes me think about my grandmother and her friends listening to the blues drinking,laughing and talking about there man,and life.on every saturday evenings,as the time would go by one them will end up shedding a tear,sometimes i would see my grand mother cry and ask why are you crying ?being a young child of the sixties she would just look at me and say one day u will understand!that the memories can make your heart shed a tear.GOD BLESS ALL THOSE BEAUITFUL SOULS !thx HOWLIN WOLF!

  • sing it you sexy daddy!

  • I heard Howlin' Wolf but never saw him sing until today. Ten times more powerful than I imagined it.

  • the merger of Sumlins fresh inventive Rockin rhythms with the Wolfs Dark Howl together create an important marker in the history Rock. I particular he moment in time when blues becomes Rock.

  • Sing it Chester Burnette!

  • anyone know what year this is?

  • Outstanding!

  • Just awesome.

  • Pure Magic! Country boy done moved to the city. Hubert is always priceless.

  • I wouldn't describe him as an "excellent" guitarist. Not that his guitar playing was bad by any means, but it wasn't his forte. His real talent was his voice and his passionate vocal delivery. The legendary guitar tones that you hear on those immortal Sam Phillips recordings owed more to Hubert Sumlin rather than him. But it's his voice that made those records the legends that they are.

  • @JohnnyFriendly And his herp playing.

  • An excellent guitarist with a unique voice.
