"This is dog shit!" Chester Arthur Brunett a.k.a Howlin' Wolf
And 1969 is the blues, forgotten for years, has come back into fashion. The new generations of Hendrix, Clapton, and others look with respect at the now elderly masters of the blues.
The Chess brothers, smelling money, decide to revive two legends historically affiliated with their record label, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, with two parallel projects. The goal is to modernize their sound, making it more psychedelic and suitable for the new generations.
Well, there isn't much to say about the songs; they are all great classics of the bluesman rearranged in a modern way, played and sung, of course, perfectly by Wolf, who over the years hasn't lost his unique voice at all, but without that original blues atmosphere so characteristic.
Moreover, even the sales so coveted by the record label failed, and the album stopped at position 69 in the charts along with a bad response from the critics.
In short, it could be a good record, but it is not a Howlin' Wolf record even if the cover says so.

It is the interpretation of Howlin' Wolf in a state of Luciferian grace that makes the difference.
English bands hailed him as the spiritual father.

"No man, we just want to get into the right spirit."
"The album 'The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions' was released in August 1971 and had a fair success."
