Anyone who thinks white people can't play the blues should check out this album. Howlin' Wolf is the front man, but the band is made up of 60's white rockers, and they totally rock! Every song on the album is a winner.
The greatest highlight is the "rehearsal" of Red Rooster, where you get a sample of the interaction between Wolf and the band (yes, his voice sounds the same when he talks as when he sings) as he shows them how to do it "delta style". The following track shows that his teaching was not lost on them, as they
kick.
I often find that the "supergroup" type albums where they throw some stars into a studio together don't come out so good, but this one is a gem!
