The Wolf That House Built is the debut album of Little Axe, released in 1994 by Wired Recordings.

Review by Rick Anderson

...Skip McDonald's background is in the blues, and what he has put together here is a tribute to Howling Wolf. This is a roiling pastiche of samples taken from Wolf's singing and speaking, all of them thrown into a stew of funk and reggae beats and interspersed with McDonald's own multi-tracked vocals (which will sound very familiar to fans of Tackhead and Strange Parcels, both of which were founded by him). It's hard to identify highlights here, but some of the album's especially strong moments come during "Ride On," which samples Howling Wolf's discussions of life on the road, and the primarily instrumental "Out in the Rain and Cold." Exquisite.

So the Tiny Desk concert I recorded in the summer is up on the intertubes! Cramming everyone into Adrian's living room in the middle of a heatwave was pretty mad and a lot of fun.
