195.The Back Door Wolf by: Howlin' Wolf
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : The Back Door Wolf
Everyone one knows how great Howlin' Wolf had been in the previous two decades, but how did he sound in 1973 on his final album, at the age of 63, in poor health and with less than three years to live? The contents of The Back Door Wolf, recorded on August 14th and 17th 1973, seem ignored on all the compilations by which most of us now know his work.

Actually, he is in great voice and contributes some nifty harmonica work to boot. Regular accompanists SP Leary and the legendary Hubert Sumlin are all over the record, abetted by Willie Harris on rhythm guitar and either James Green or Andrew McMahon on bass. The baroque harpsichord-like sounds of Detroit Junior's electric keyboards on four of the tracks have put off some listeners ... Read More:

Music : The Chess Box [CASSETTE]
The problem for anyone who recently 'gets into' this music (Chicago Blues) is that there is no shortage of compilations for the Greats (Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley etc.), presumably because they initially didn't record for albums. The decision to choose which set best represents the artist is made harder by the different recording labels with whom they recorded. And to make matters worse the copyright expiry on older recordings can lead to extremely careless analogue to digital transfers, with little thought about the compilation focus (greatest hits? representative?)
No problems with this box set. Granted, it's very expensive. But the sound quality is so very good. The instruments, especially Hubert Sumlin's guitar work, are not dampened ... Read More:

Music : Live at the Regal [CASSETTE]
This is the real thing. One of the great live recordings in any genre, it really is "live" with all the imperfections and crowd intrusions of the gig as it happened. BB King was always at the soul end of the blues styles, and this concert was recorded at the time that soul music was really taking off in BBs heartland. That fact is reflected in the performance - brash, noisy and above all entertaining.
