howlin' wolf's best

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Huh- missed this poll. Probably would have voted "Spoonful".

Might as well put it all on a dartboard.

But "Forty-Four" wins for me right now, just because of the explosion of that first line that he didn't even have to look for, that he olds for the whole song.

Underrated: the alternate take of "Highway 49" from the London sessions, "Little Baby." Oh, and I go back to "She's Lookin' Good" and "Just As Long" from the sequel to the psychedelic record, both because they're fantastic and because I had no idea that album existed until 3 years ago.

lol at dartboard

I'm awful at metaphors. I was just trying not to say "wow they're all so darn good."

Not at all. It was a great metaphor. Knew exactly what you meant.

Oh, okay. I usually assume any references to me are veiled criticisms.

Aside: I saw Hubert Sumlin a couple times and he had the most infectious smile I've ever seen. Even when he got to using an oxygen tank, he still had that smile.
