Looking at the dates - TheQuicksilverdog put this video up here on YouTube on Howlin' Wolf's 100th birthday !!! Thanks for sharing !!! The rock and rollers of the world owe a great debt of gratitude to men like this !!!
@pattycakenineeight The live version is cool because we have loved the song for so long we eventually had to imagine him singin it and what he was like....now we get to see it. Howlin' Wolf stood 6'6", 300lbs and was the biggest and loudest of the Chicago blues scene. Now that's somethin' to see, right?
@pattycakenineeight It's only retarded if you've been listening to modern live versions of pop crap. Listen to a few more live blues songs, you'll realise what good music sounds like. Gotta flush the crap out. Live blues is usually better than recorded.
I like this song alot my grandmother has it and from the first time I heard this I fell in love so now I know who the artist is thanks to I- tunes I ran across this song yesterday
His style of singing on this song is based on the old style baptist preaching that I grew up on. Wow! listening to him sing this song made me think of my child preacher Rev. J.S Arrington. lol wow ! But blues and gospel go "hand in hand".
@AJSP35801 That's so true my friend ! When I was a kid growing up in Birmingham,AL in the 70's, it was rich with Blues and Gospel of this kind. But listening to the tales of my great grandmother who was born in the early 1900's, it was always understood that Gospel was Gospel and Blues was Blues and you never corelated the two because it was sacrilegious. From an artistic point of view, we see it differently now but back then "Old folks" didn't play about that stuff it was serious.
@Mariodupree the church never invented any sound so how could this be based on a church... its always been the people that went to church that came up with this sound sound! so cridit this raw sound tis from black soul not church chuch is just where black soul was expressed in music like here in blues! blues has deep roots in african style not church ... lets this be read and known by all people who read this .... power to knowledge of self
@akara110 Woah chief ! Freeze ! I'm well aware of my culture bro ! I never said the church invented anything but I do believe that it (the church folk and the church culture of that era) had an influence on the music just as it ( church folk and culture) has a influence on music today. But since I didn't live or grow up in Africa my comment was based off of MY personal experience with this music and from what it reminded ME of. So thanks for the lesson in black culture but I'm good ! Peace
@Mariodupree Hey bud. I think you have it backwards. The church/gospel doesn't have influence on popular music. Popular music has influence on the gospel. You can see that is that we have all these different genres of gospel now. We have gospel rap, gospel reggae, etc.
this is what the blues sounds like
