About this product

Product Information

One of the greatest artists the blues ever produced, Howlin' Wolf was a musical giant in every way. He stood six foot three, weighed almost three hundred pounds, wore size sixteen shoes, and poured out his darkest sorrows onstage in a voice that captured all the pain of growing up black and poor in Jim Crow Mississippi. Half a century after his first hits, his sound still terrifies and inspires. Wolf began his career singing with the first Delta blues stars, was present at the birth of rock'n' roll in Memphis, and vied with rival Muddy Waters for the title of king of Chicago blues. This new and revised edition is full of harrowing anecdotes about his early years, entertaining stories about his decades at the top, and never-before-seen photographs of the artist onstage. An essential volume for Wolf's legions of fans, lovers of blues, and anyone interested in the history of American music.

  • An American Original -- Check Him Out!

    I originally checked this book out from my local library. I found it such an interesting read that, years later, I had to have my own copy. If you have any interest in the Memphis blues scene or the Chicago blues scene, you will find this book interesting. If you like biographies of interesting american characters you will enjoy it. The Wolf was a larger-than life personality with a larger-than-life presence and a huge one-of-a-kind voice. I won't tell you any particulars, but you'll enjoy getting to meet him. The book is well-researched and well-written. Bargain? I think so!
