Howlin' Wolf - When I Laid Down I Was Troubled

[aleandavis]

My mother bought this album which is still in great playing condition. It was in the 1970's. I'm 41 years old and I still pay it from time to time. The band is tight (slang for good) !!!

I was there. I was 16. It was very cool. Wolf didn't look so hot. He mostly sang while sitting down, sweating profusely, frequently popping what I assume were tablets of nitroglycerine. Then just when you thought he was going to perish before your eyes, he would bound out of his chair and cut loose. Awesome. Thanks for posting this.

@googrit - Ah, we don't forget this guy, and his band and his music - made a life-long impression on me.

I knew Wolf well, and there was only one like him. We bonded instantly, on many levels, then made songs, his ("the") iconic images, and my interview of him (seems only I got past the music and into his childhood (of which in our own ways we shared similar abuses) thus my 1968 (published) interview of him solved the mystery WHY he ran from his uncle's house to get to the Dockery plantation, staying with his caring father and meeting Charlie Patton. The story of our connection is available, too.

Thanks for the great selection of tunes you put up.

Hi, there. Does anyone know if there's another version of this song? I mean, if there's another one sung by the Howlin' Wolf
