Hubert Sumlin - Eddie Shaw
Chester Arthur Burnett (June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976), known as
Howlin' Wolf, was a
Chicago blues singer, guitarist, and harmonica player, originally from
Mississippi.
With a booming voice and imposing physical presence, he is one of the
best-known Chicago blues artists. The musician and critic
Cub Koda
noted, "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."
[1] Producer
Sam Phillips recalled, "When I heard Howlin' Wolf, I said, 'This is for me. This is where the soul of man never dies.
'"
[2] Several of his songs, including "
Smokestack Lightnin'", "
Killing Floor" and "
Spoonful", have become blues and
blues rock standards. In 2011,
Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 54 on its list of the "
100 Greatest Artists of All Time".
