Howlin' Wolf - Wang Dang Doodle

[BenjaminCWRuhe]

Tripple Crown.

[LinkReyIndyFan]

Hubert Sumlin...such a great guitar player. He was definitely my favorite, may his soul Rest in Peace.

[Gobularity]

RIP Sumlin

[lauralee2414]

Doesn't get much better than Howlin' Wolf on Willie Dixon's: 'Wang Dang Doodle'!

[victm00725]

the howlin wolf lives on 4 ever

[victm00725]

one of the best sons of the 60s and to now

[711ATOM]

Hubert Sumlin passed away on 3 days ago on Sunday Dec. 4, 2011 at the age of 80. He was playing in my area earlier this year but decided I had other things to do and would try to catch him later.

[MegaSajs]

rest in peace!!

[SaltySawyer]

That was so RAD!!!!! :)

[McDonnellWrite]

I wish I had seen this guy in person. To see him in some backwoods juke joint ripping the place apart, that would have been something special.

[gcpropertymanagement]

This is not corporate music. That is why we all love it. Until there is more invention of this caliber and talent, new music will be regarded as "less than". He is an original and a great American talent. There is no way to imitate an original. We have to invent new music and pay respect to those who went before us. Innovation is America's history.

howlling blues

[ericstanek]

What this song tells? Is story about "preparing an atmosphere for a party"? Answer will be appreciated.

[dangeloandthangs]

@ericstanek Yes, that is what it is about.

[tallie84]

OMG this music... IS REAL

[ninjaturtlepoodle]

i want some jambalaya now

[detmius]

i saw howlin wolf years ago at the toronto blues and jazz fest. he was the best. Nothing but the best and later for the garbage. RIP

[krallstello]

I dedicate this awesome and legendary song to my old boyfriend, Topper Price. RIP blues harp man...from the green eyed Irish NDN.

[blacknuss6]

hubert sumlin is the MAN  !!

[jennysmelodies]

I hate this song. But I have to learn it.

[chinzebo]

Thanks for sharing!!

[makemeateeshirt]

Haitian national anthem..FTW

[fastborzoi]

YES awesome jam

[scorepyo]

At 1:44-2:04 the Wolf starts to flow like an old school emcee. :)

[stanleysoldman]

get down with the wolf!

[chas53146]

I believe the Kinks, British Group did this. Just an example how American Blues had a big influence on the British music. Chuck Berry included.

[meshuggahismylife]

He's using an Epiphone guitar in the picture :)

[callipposhots]

I preferred the 1970 version on the London Sessions album to this one, which doesn't seem have been uploaded yet on youtube. Sumlin plays on that one too - together with Eric Clapton and the Stones rhythm section of Watts and Wyman.

[pandarsson]

@callipposhots Honestly, I do, as well. I prefer the musicianship on this (my big problem with that "London Sessions" album was that the backing band was a bit stiff), but I like the slow, nasty feel of that later recording.

This is still an awesome jam, though.

[Curlybird998]

Nobody like Howlin' Wolf. You feel the realness of him in everything he does.

[truemansparks]

getting so interested in the original blues artists is almost wiping out my interest in modern music all i want to do is listen to this!

[badpdx]

And the great Hubert Sumlin, who could put more feeling into one note than most guitarist can in 100 notes.

[JimBowie1133]

@badpdx , yeah man , Sumlin is a Boss

[PHKYALL]

Love the Wolf, but I like Koko Taylor's version a little better.

[johndlasley]

@PHKYALL

Her version really makes me wanna get ROWDY ROWDY and BOUT IT BOUT IT. GANGSTA!

[woodbell67]

The tambourine player needs to be edited out of this track .

He/she is killing this track.

[barrywilliamsmb]

Me? Yeah, I LUD Da Wolf!

A million thank yous for this, Stevierfan.

[Canuckskie]

Great music indeed, used to love the Savoy Brown version early 70s but nothing like listening to the originals by these great artists. Long Live The Blues...

[theguywith1face]

Anyone heard and/or got the slower version of this track?

The Wolf- One of a kind and one of the best things to happen to blues. Fuckin awesome!

[79tazman]

Rockin Soul Music Love It

[torrymarrs]

Willie Dixon, the genius of the blues originals. The man wrote just about every great blues original stolen by British and American bands in the 60's/70's to make themselves famous. An original master of the blues without a whole lot of recognition. Just buy his 'Best of' and you'll get the BIG blues picture..

[5minutesToForever]

@Tarn1968 lol nice

[WilliamNez1]

Cool, Great song, I like the Savoy Brown version too.Tired of the mad shredders that play a million notes. Big deal, they play fast.

[Guitar243]

Music belongs to all the world. No race, no nation, no religion exclusively. We are all one in music and sound. White or black, British or American.

[DeportAnchorBabies]

@Guitar243 But music is definitely born out of culture

this case blues born out of African American culture

[chrissept21]

@DeportAnchorBabies

they created, rock, blues, funk, rap (not that great) gospal, and so on

and us whites got the nerve to call em niggers and coons, fuckin pathetic in my eyes

[xX3lusiv3Xx]

@chrissept21

I thought about this a while back, and nearly every for of music I could think of could be traced back to a black person.

[georgegreathead]

@xX3lusiv3Xx Did you EVER in your LIFE , hear of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , Johan Sebastian Bach , Ludvig Van Beethoven , no thought not .

Much as i love the blues lets not get carried away here .

[strokesfan1107]

@georgegreathead Well... in fact Amadeus, JS Bach, and Beethoven were actually black men who overdosed on pigment pills, bleaching them of their melanin... those pills were all the craze back in the Sturm und Drang era

[IpCrackle]

@georgegreathead Hey you! Not that I have a life or anything by snooping around all the comments on this page, but you know what all those classical composers are missing?

They had immense skill at writing classical music, much of their compositions were very complicated, but their downfall is the fact they tried to be so sophisticated. It doesn't leave room for personal honesty which is the real spark for any talented musician.

"Good taste is the enemy of Great art" Picasso

[chromezeppelin]

@chrissept21

if it weren't for the white mans oppression of the blacks the US, they never would have got the blues in the first place though. so we really do owe rock music to the white man! lol

[RDArtist81]

@chromezeppelin Don't be an ass.

[chromezeppelin]

@RDArtist81 Wow you've got a great sense of humor

[divebomber101]

@chrissept21 All created by Americans, but you gotta admit, when it comes to difference in nationalities, the English kicked our asses at all of them, well, maybe not rap, but I don't concern myself with rap for the most part. But as for rock and blues, definitely.

[davekeays]

@chrissept21 Somebody hasn't listened to rap. Some of it is crap (especially the stuff that makes it to the radio), but most of it is at worst angry kids letting it out in ways that fit in the gutter they live in.

[CheckMate657879]

This song reminds me of the stories my mom used to tell about how the people in the south used to party at the juke joints way, way, way out in the woods.

[blumobean]

@CheckMate657879 Still party down here

[xHoboMcGeex]

Probably the greatest guitar solo ever

[Jevandrix]

The wolf will keep on howling.... all night long.....!!!

[freddo27]

Man, that voice makes you feel small.

[drtranismyman]

0 Dislikes. Even Haters can't hate the Wolf.

[Voltage219]

We gonna play some evil, evil is goin on.

[cuda70kid]

Savoy Brown dose a great job of this one to as well as others

[chrisburchardt]

Bless this man.

[trapper2]

This is amazing stuff. I grew up in Britain with my older borther playing things like Cream and Zeppelin. THIS is where most of that stuff came from. HowlinWolf's greatest on CD is a worthwhile treat for anyone, trust me, it's brilliant.

[NoRosesForMe]

..all night long....♥

[biennialist]

this guy is deep, thanks pj harvey! deep womyn!

[711ATOM]

Listen to the guitar; Hubert Sumlin is just fantastic on this song. This album came out in 1962, and you can tell the rock guitarists took... I mean borrowed everything that Mr. Sumlin did on this cut. Just listen to the guitar starting from .40sec - Led Zeppelin anyone?

[howlingsandy]

@711ATOM led zep = thieving magpies some borrowed some stole some honored some denied Wolf and Dixon both sued zep at one point. few victims could get it together enough to do that. Wolf then had to sue his publishers to get what had been awarded. Arthur Crudup never got one royalty..Near the end two activists got him an award of 60K but it was never given him - the father of rock not even in the rock hall.. should have his name on the door. Sumlin still not there too. I knew Wolf & Crudup well.

[LongLiveTheBlues]

@howlingsandy its a shame you think like that , led zep along with all the great British blues musicians at the time where incredibly inspired and adored the American southern blues artist such as wolf, muddy waters etc. They only had the up most respect for them Clapton payed for wolfs grave and wolf was like a mentor to them especially the rolling stones, if you look back i dont like to use the word "stolen" because that implies that it was bad, but we always gave back to are heroes.

[LongLiveTheBlues]

@howlingsandy But that is disgusting that sumlin and wolf are not in the rock n roll hall of fame? fucking unbelievable

[howlingsandy]

@LongLiveTheBlues Wolf IS in the "Rock Hall" (Influences) and Hubert is NOT. Sumlin's LONG overdue and most deserving. Worst of all's the lack of induction of the actual Father of Rock & Roll, Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, another legend I was blessed to know and perform with. Without Arthur's stylings and significant (admitted) inspiration in Tupelo on Elvis Presley, black rockers Little Richard & Chuck Berry might not have had the door open to white markets, then. And he inspired much more, too.

[shadowolfblue]

Now THIS is a song that makes you want to party all night!

[AtmaRising]

badazz!  You can hear where Captain Beefheart got his influence from.

[gnarlene]

This song is so awesome

[howlingsandy]

This version rocks. No one could sing this like Wolf, though many covered it. When Wolf sang this song by Willie Dixon, it was believable. Wolf had a unique gift of getting people's own deeper sense of themselves to re-awaken, as after all, soulfulness expressed requires one to hear it too, and it's all about what is real, deeply shared at the roots of all. I have met many blues heroes, but there was only one Wolf. That's my photo of him on this CD cover. They only found out later, as did I

[zorman1875]

Thank you Stevie. This is one of my favourite songs so to find it here is brilliant.

HW was a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Solvinden]

Well, this is what I call MUSIC!!

[Steviervfan]

@Solvinden thanks for the comment, glad you like it. Howlin' Wolf was a legend and Willie Dixon wrote some fantastic songs for Wolf together they have made it in blues history :-)

[kojocel]

God bless you for posting!

R.I.P Chester Arthur Burnett a.k.a. Howling Wolf!

[Striker1973666]

[samtotheg]
