Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightning (1964)
Chester Arthur Burnett (June 10, 1910 -- January 10, 1976), better known as Howlin' Wolf, was an influential American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.
With a booming voice and looming physical presence, Burnett is commonly ranked among the leading performers in electric blues; "no one could match Howlin' Wolf for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits. Many songs popularized by Burnett, such as "Smokestack Lightnin", "Back Door Man" and "Spoonful" have become standards of blues and blues rock.

@dannyeglen cool. thanks

@rocketsause17 Most people play it on an A harp using the 2nd draw as your root. Hope this helps. Most of the time when Wolf is playing on a guitar he plays it in E.

@JerryDugger this so intense...

What key is this song/harmonica in?

It's stuff like this that just makes it so clear to see what is "missing" in music today.

If you watch and listen to this you can never listen to the Yardbirds version again

@JerryDugger Smokestack Lightning has been my favorite song since I was a kid & that was many moons ago.

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".
