08112014 - Howlin' Wolf "The Back Door Wolf"

Howlin' Wolf is obviously a legend, but I'm guessing not enough people have heard a full album by the man. I know I hadn't until just now.

And whaddya expect? It's brilliant from beginning to end! His voice is what makes him great even to those outside the usual bloozemongers, but the tunes are also great enough to entice any rockers and even the metal mongers out there! Also - there's the look in his eyes on the cover combined with the album title...
