Howlin' Wolf

Howlin' Wolf

"Until the end of his life, Sam Phillips said that Wolf was the most profound artist he ever worked with, and he wanted to record Wolf until either of them died. He never got that chance because Wolf left Sun Records to record for Chess Records in Chicago in 1954. Losing Wolf was the biggest disappointment of his career, Phillips said--far worse than losing Elvis to a bigger label. That tells you all you need to know about what he thought of Wolf’s talent." - Mark Hoffman, James Segrest
