Found SFJ eulogising this LP somewhere in The Wire's online archives:
Howlin' Wolf: "The Howlin' Wolf Album aka This is Howlin' Wolf's New Album And He Doesn't Like It" (Chess/Cadet 1968)
Sasha: "...it's very universal power scalds anyone exposed to it. (Think more Ark of the Covenant, less collector marginalia)..."
Supposedly a sort of No Wave line-up backing Howlin' Wolf doing some of his
greatest hits. Pete Cosey on guitar (squalled all over those seventies Miles LPs).
Tracked down a copy of Muddy Water's "Electric Mud" (same line up). Majestic but a tad rote. The Wolf LP though is nowhere to be found, eBay, GEMM, forget it. I _have_ come across it once. Somewhere.
Set me on a small Electric Blues trip. Like I say, No Wave. James 'Blood' Ulmer,
Music Revelation Ensemble, DNA, Captain Beefheart. Lester Bangs referencing Otis Rush's "Groaning The Blues: Original Cobra Recordings 1956-58". While I have quite a few blues LPs, I've never had any Wolf. Weirdly have never stumbled upon them, can't have looked very hard (at all). Big mistake. Picked up his double Chess Blues Master Series. Unbelievably good stuff. Van Vliet man! What a copy cat!
