Howlin' Wolf – The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions

Howlin' Wolf – The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions

Released in 1971, The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions is one of the most celebrated blues collaborations ever recorded. The album brought Chicago blues legend Howlin' Wolf to London to record with a host of British rock musicians who had grown up idolising his music, creating a unique meeting of blues authenticity and rock-era enthusiasm.

Featuring powerful performances of classics such as “Little Red Rooster,” “I Ain't Superstitious,” “Built For Comfort,” and “Wang Dang Doodle,” the album captures Wolf's commanding voice and larger-than-life presence at the centre of every track. The sessions famously included contributions from leading British musicians of the era, helping introduce Howlin' Wolf's music to a new generation of listeners while paying tribute to one of the architects of modern blues.

Raw, energetic and packed with outstanding musicianship, The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions remains an essential recording for blues fans and a landmark collaboration between American blues pioneers and the British musicians they inspired.
