Howlin' Wolf - Spoonful (1960) plus more...

Howlin' Wolf (aka Chester Arthur Burnett, June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976) began playing music with a band in 1948 and made his first recordings in 1951. From that point forward he performed and recorded regularly and to worldwide acclaim.




I've had his 1960 version of Spoonful stuck in my head for the last few days, so I thought I'd share that tune and a few others.
