Howlin’ Wolf
No one in the world ever sang the blues with the pure, primal power of Chester Arthur Burnett, The Howlin’ Wolf.
John Shines (Close Friend with Wolf), who also traveled with Robert Johnson, said, “I was afraid of the Wolf, like you would be of some wild animal....It was the SOUND he was giving off!” (http://www.howlinwolf.com/articles/bio_2.htm)
