Howlin' Wolf = one of my favorite artists ever. Great clip but here's one that shows Hubert to better advantage:

My favorite footage of Sumlin and THE WOLF!  If you haven't seen the footage from Newport Folk Festival '66, seek it out! I love Son House drunk dancing and Howlin' Wolf calling him out.

The Bukka White stuff from this is great, too!

Played the Rocking Chair Album several times last week. Hubert was a master of his craft. Not much more needs to be said.

RIP.
