About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

For the casual blues fan with a scant knowledge of the Wolf, this 1971 pairing, with Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones, Ringo Starr, and other British superstars, appears on the surface to be one hell of a super session. Although that's not really the case, it's nowhere near as awful as some blues purists make it out to be. [This edition includes three bonus tracks.] Cub Koda, All Music Guide

November 07, 2000: the blues may have been played better in some quarters but when Muddy rings up with ''Long Distance call'' with the best on harp callin up in the background I don't care if anyone else on earth likes it . I fell in love with the blues when I was 10yrs old and skipping school in Memphis in the early 60's.This is just my own prejudice but anything with Paul Butterfield is a like a warm blanket on a cold night!

October 13, 2000: There is no doubt that this isn't the Wolf's best work, but there are some good moments. Clapton now disparages the sessions and his work on them, but he still blazes on some of the tracks. Wolf is clearly over the hill, and the ''lesson'' he gives the rock stars on ''Little Red Rooster'' is either sad or hilarious, depending on your point of view. But listen to ''Poor Boy'' and then decide whether this disk has any merit. Just because the guy was older doesn't mean his music was irrelevant, at that point in his life. You still feel the fire coming through, in places. Long live the Wolf!
