This the devils music, you hear (hmmm, no surprise when a blues man has a little drink, but don't leave your wife with one of those holy rolling backwoods preachers, or those big city preachers as far as that goes). Have MERCY!

@emriederekify Harder than a ministers pecker is a saying for a reason.

[ReneODeay]

now you know where Jagger got this

[Maafa1619]

@ReneODeay At least Jagger/Richards acknowledged where they got it from... unlike that thieving-ass Jimmy Page.

[blacknuss6]

[TheAzmountaineer]

@TheBluesB4Sunrise Yeah - I'm a big fan of Howlin Wolf and especiallly Hubert Sumlin. I just thought my response would be funny.

[sergerungomo]

O mama fuckin' hot shit & thats no lie!

[bbnatedogg]

@matto902 You either need to keep searching or more importantly, GET THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR EARS, BITCH!!!!!!

[bbnatedogg]

Nobody before or since, black or white could sing like the Wolf!!!!!!!!!

[Musikgizelle]

Wonderful.

[zimmy81]

this is one of the best qualities of human development,if there are aliens out there,there is ive seen one,then they have to grock the beauty of human blues or theyre missing the point, I know you know what I mean.

[nativebird63]

because most Americans have their heads up their asses! and only listened to the crap put out by the corporations to make money. when the brits brought American blues back to America it made money for these assholes but the dumb public did not even know what they were hearing. it is so much different today with an educated public. yea right assholes all!

[june4783]

Sorry I did not say thanks for posting this

[june4783]

Tell me you people how come this song was exploited by a lot of white guys with a talent for ,

getting themselves into newspapers etc. I refer of course to the Rolling Stones. I challenge anyone to tell me how their version was better than this one. Raw emotion real feeling in other words the essence of the blues.

[dryflymojo]

@june4783 The Stones, Clapton, Led Zeppelin, etc are the reason I know about musicians like Howlin' Wolf.

[TheAzmountaineer]

@june4783 The Stones worshipped the Wolf, so they did some of his stuff. Their version wasn't nearly as good, but it was a tribute to him, not 'exploitation'.

[june4783]

@TheAzmountaineer Thanks for the reply, I think we all agree on one thing, we like the music of people who went before Many people in the music business owe their reputation on being able to interpret the work of guys like Howlin Wolf, these original guys never enjoyed the fame or the money. Alas it was ever thus, Happy New Year to you

[slownoman]

@TheAzmountaineer Acutally, it was the furthest thing from exploitation. Wolf got more royalties from one Stones record than all his put together. And people who'd never have known found out who Howling Wolf was.

[funnyman1006]

Oh yes! But the way, way early stuff is ... holy cow... amazing.

[GOLDBAND45]

This is THE REAL music.

[tlwlvr]

This song is what blues is all about. Thanks for posting. Current blues needs to take a good long look at it's roots.....

[chelseaaa662]

@tlwlvr truth! :)

[depicks]

Thanks for putting this up. One of my favorite tunes.

[Christacan]

Nice.
