Jim Kent takes the reins for this biographical profile of Hubert Sumlin (b. 1931) - a gifted blues guitarist who spent over 25 years touring with the Howlin' Wolf Band. As a child of the Mississippi Delta, Sumlin grew up in the Sanctified Baptist Church, where he mastered the guitar and absorbed the musical influences that surrounded him. Fate dealt a marvelous and unforeseen hand when regular Wolf band member Patrick Hare was unable to play one evening, and had Sumlin sit in for him. Thus began a series of appearances with Wolf's ensemble, that eventually witnessed Sumlin becoming a regular fixture. Later, after Wolf's death in 1976, Sumlin had to "reinvent" himself as a bandleader and instrumentalist. This film includes archival footage from the 1964 Folk Festival Tour in Europe that featured Sumlin, Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon and others. It also includes interviews with musical figures such as James Cotton and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. Nathan Southern, Rovi
