THE LONDON HOWLIN' WOLF SESSIONS

Howlin' Wolf recorded this session (as it says) in London, with guests, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Bill Wymann, Charlie Watts, Hubert Sumlin, Jeffrey M. Carp and Ian Stewart.

If you never heard about the blues, try this one, you will be lost for the rest of your life.

Some rockin' music with "Rockin' Daddy", Some emotion with "Sitting On Top Of The World", even a laugh with "Build For Comfort".
Nothing to throw away, just music to admire.
