Provenance

Where it came from

Originally recorded in London in 1970, this session was conceived by Marshall Chess as an effort to introduce legendary bluesman Howlin' Wolf to a younger, rock-oriented audience. By pairing Wolf with rising British rock stars like Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts, the project sought to bridge the gap between traditional Chicago blues and the burgeoning psychedelic and hard rock scenes. The sessions were notable for the cultural clash and musical camaraderie between the aging blues icon and the generation of musicians who had been deeply influenced by his catalog.

This 2021 edition from the Trading Places label is a reissue intended to make the historic recordings accessible to modern vinyl collectors. The design aesthetic for this pressing honors the original release's blues-rock fusion roots, maintaining a minimalist presentation that highlights the gravity of the collaboration. While the original 1971 release received mixed reactions from purists who felt the blues were being diluted by rock production, the sessions have since been re-evaluated as a significant historical document of cross-generational musical exchange.
