Howlin' Wolf- London Sessions
As a child of the sixties, I didn't worry about where the music came from; I only knew that I was drawn to some music far more than other styles. The London Sessions are a revelation, showing what influenced my favorite musicians of the era and of all time.
After seeing Clapton, Hubert Sumlin, and Steve Winwood play together at Crossroads 2008, this CD is exciting as much for it's pure musical value as for the history involved.
Howlin' Wolf's voice draws you in, as something familiar and inviting. You start hearing different portions of the music, and the songs seem to change each time you play them. The music is very clear, especially given the age and technology used.
I'm so glad I stumbled on to this recording- it's a treasure.

London Howlin' Wolf Sessions CDReview created: 12/07/07

I bought this CD 'cause I AM AM CRAZY ABOUT THE WOLF ! What i like about it is that Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman, and others collaborated with him on new arrangements of some of his most famous songs. The music is great. The Wolf's voice is still great too, though he recorded this album in his declining years. What I didn't like about this CD is that it didn't have "Smokestack Lightin'"--one of his very best tunes. If you like the blues, you'll love the Wolf. So get it. Also, there is a DVD bio of Howlin Wolf that is totally superb..In addition to recordings, there are interviews with those who knew and loved him, and outtakes with the Wolf that reveal his magnetic personality and marvelous sense of humor.

London Howlin' Wolf Sessions still sounds FINE!!!!!!!Review created: 09/08/06

I have been wanting to replace an ancient, scratchy LP for quite some time. Sometimes one wonders why a once favorite album was not replaced sooner and this is the case here! It stands the test of time very well and the Steve Winwood keyboards are simply marvelous....
I learned to love the blues via this album along with the London Muddy Waters Sessions and anything by the Yardbirds, Fleetwood Mac or ROlling Stones. Good Blues within a very rocking matrix is what I like and this is what I got!!!!!!

One of the reasons why I got this album was the special energy and sound I've found in other releases by the Howling Wolf. His name is something that will always draw me to reach into my pockets to shell out money. This recording in particular has a very special quality that goes beyond the presence of such talented guest musicians, and maybe even over the very own voice of the Wolf. The sound is just delicious. It has a living quality, very hard to measure by objective standards like decibels or channel separation. The atmosphere that permeates this recording is very common in its time...

During the late 60's and early 70's english musicains brought over their blues influences overseas to record. This is probably the best of the London Sessions of them all. Howlin' Wolf aka Chester Burnett is responsible for a lot of what Page, Clapton, and pretty much all the white blues guitarists of the 60's were playing at the time. This album is a great collection of that sound. The Wolf was a very large man with a deep husky voice that once you hear it you won't soon forget. He once referred to himself as "300 Pounds Of Joy." The London Sessions is The Wolf playing with Eric Clapton,...
