Killing and Howlin'

Howlin' Wolf - Killing Floor
Howlin' Wolf - Louise
Occasionally my mind drifts to a place where I find myself wondering who I would most like to have the chance to see play live, if time's arrow was no barrier that is. I don't draw conclusions, just enjoy musing over the possibilities. A prime candidate would surely be Howlin' Wolf. Here he is from 1964 with a corker, Killing Floor. With a band featuring Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy, the Wolf takes blues music to the next level, a black monolith moment.
