spatdrastik Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 educate me Hubert is a giant of blues guitar, he was with Wolf for pretty much his whole career. It was his licks that the players you are likely familiar with were inspired by...without Sumlin we'd have no Freddy or Albert King, Buddy Guy, etc... I'm sure Sam can elaborate on this in the meantime go find "Killing Floor" by Howlin Wolf and start there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I've also got this album. Love the production.The intro of Little Red Rooster sounds great. Another reason to get my turntable fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
