My favorite story about Howlin' Wolf is that during a club date one night, a guy from the audience walked up to the stage and said to Wolf, "Hey, do you know your piano player is asleep?" Wolf looked around and, sure enough, the poor guy had dozed off at the piano. Wolf looked back at the man and said, "Let him sleep. Long as he sleeps, he's got a job..."
If you're looking for intensity that would melt lead, check him out -- it's evident in this clip. So is some excellent harp playing with a great style that fits, big time.
