Don Curren 🇨🇦🇺🇦Another #blues related observation. That “rocking chair #album” by #Howlin’Wolf is incredible. #music #MusicSky
"Spoonful" is a #blues song written by #WillieDixon and first recorded in 1960 by #HowlinWolf. Called "a stark and haunting work", it is one of Dixon's best known and most interpreted songs. #EttaJames and #HarveyFuqua had a pop and R&B record chart hit with their duet cover of "Spoonful" in 1961 and it was popularized in the late 1960s by the British rock group #Cream.

IXIMarch 1956 saw the release of Howlin’ Wolf's 'Smokestack Lightnin'.
Since then, it has become a blues standard, winning a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 in recognition of its historical significance as an indelible part of the American songwriting canon.
"Not so much a song as a mood: insubstantial as a smoke ring melodically and lyrically, yet gigantic as a gathering storm in rhythm and power."
"He did not just sing the blues; he embodied them.
He was a howling wolf!"
