The Howlin’ Wolf Album by Howlin' Wolf
The Howlin’ Wolf Album is an album by Howlin' Wolf, released in 2011. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Spoonful”, on 2 lists with a best position of #671.
The Howlin' Wolf Album, issued on Cadet, is the record where the Chicago blues giant got dragged into the psychedelic era, and he made sure everyone knew he hated it. Rotary Connection served as the backing band, and the plan was to take a handful of Wolf's classic songs, "Spoonful" among them, and dress them up in trippy psychedelic rock arrangements, fuzz and swirl wrapped around that huge, gravelly voice.
Wolf strongly disliked the result, and the cover art says so, which makes it an album that practically carries its own bad review. It still reached 69 on Billboard's black albums chart. Heard now, the clash is the fascination: one of the men who turned Delta blues electric, standing his ground in the middle of a light show.
