Howlin Wolf

[Kinky Melinky]

I'm trying to find a song from this fella. Old American blues singer. I think the song was on a Budweiser advert years back.

He shouts out a load of "Wooooaahhhs"

It's a fecking great blues song. Any help ?

 

[Kinky Melinky]

Oh I think it might be Smoke Stack Lightening.

If so, this song feckin rules

 

[Brocky]

Awesome. I love Howlin' Wolf!

 

[Adzzz]

Smokestack lightning is one of my favourite songs of all time.

 

[Brocky]

Ditto.

As is this by John Lee Hooker.

 

[Kinky Melinky]

Ah nice one lads ! Really appreciate that. I'm going to throw it on now. I've always wanted to know the name of the song and it really should be in the playlist of anyone who claims to like music

I'm being snobby again amn't I

Surprised Hectic hasn't posted in this thread.

Smokestack lightning is one of my favourite songs of all time.

It'd take a very brave man to cover it. I'd consider giving it a shot but not before it's very well rehearsed. Might be able to do it live at some point given the instruments we're using

I love this description: Howlin' Wolf's voice has been compared to "the sound of heavy machinery operating on a gravel road".

A few other good un's:

 

[Bearded but no genius]

Everyone else seems to hate it, but I love the LP he did with Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley in 1967.

Never knew of this. That record would likely blow my mind and ask for seconds.
