The definitive biography of the musical giant who became a titan in the blues pantheon 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.

Thanks to the authors for writing about the Wolf in a clear and fair manner.
This book is definitely for the fan...the descriptions of who played what and when probably will not appeal to the non-blues freak.
But...this is one man who is not well-documented, and so our authors deserve heartfelt thanks for taking on what must have been a monumental project. After all...it's the Wolf.
