McSeven Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Do any of you here the influence on HW on RP? If so. Please describe it in your own way. I have been listening to some Howling Wolf and I here a little bit of the falsetto vocal range Robert does sometimes. I think that Steven Tyler sounds more like HW than Robert does.

Honeybrown1976 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Most definitely, HW plays a major part in RP vocal stylings (Steven's too). It can't be denied. I hear everything from the sexy screeching (good kind, lol) to the otherworldly deep vocal acrobatics. I believe Robert wanted to evoke HW whenever a mic was nearby. You can definitely hear how Robert studied HW without any intentional desire for disrespect or malice. Of course, he was limited since no one could muster truly the voice that was Howlin' Wolf.

tmtomh Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yeah, RP definitely was influenced - and he's stated in many interviews how much he listened to him, both in the '60s just before and during LZ's formation, and up through at least the '80s.
