  • Hot licks! One of the tastiest guitar solos ever, in a beautifully arranged and cleverly sung song. Willie DiXon rules! (ask Led Zeppelin...)

  • @TheJuanABee not most but some of his Chess years some good hits penned by Dixon done by Wolf. Dixon wrote great stuff for many artists workin' at Chess, and you can hear DIxon's own band play it their way. Usually very different, good but somewhat traditional while Wolf stretched it out in his innovative tightly run ship way, new arrangements and styles. Wolf even tuned the guitars of his crew, at concerts. This is rock. And Sumlin's solo here shows why he influenced so many guitar players.

  • I sing this in karaoke. I'm 6' and 300lbs.

  • @ElfFarmRaffle that's actually Hubert Sumlin' solo

  • I agree, Willie Dixon was one of the great song writers of the 20th Century!

  • @ElfFarmRaffle I like it. I'm old enough to remember the Willie Dixon incedent.

  • @mkgblues Zep took most.. they are also known to some musicologists or just blues/rock fans as "Thieving Magpies", Wolf and Dixon were able to litigate and win, countless others were not in shape to do that. In fact, Wolf had to sue his own lyrics licensing company to get his part of what was attained, There are plenty of articles online that show the plagiarism, Nothing wrong with doing a cover but taking credit for it for simply adding whiny singin' and a solo ... uh-uh

  • @lemonsqueezermunich RIGHT ON! WHY ASK ZEPP? . THEY TOOK GOOD INGREDIENTS (WILLIE DIXON SONGS,) AND COOKED UP SOMETHING WITH BAD TASTE 

  • Great Song, Howlin Wolf rules

  • RavenKiller1 Yes this is The Wolf, but if you look into it you'll see most of his AND Muddy Wathers hits (as well as many others) are Credited to Willie Dixon
