Fantastic!!.......2007-06-25
timeless.......2007-03-12
If you don't like this album, you have no soul.......2007-02-13
Sure, Wolf was old. Sure, you can tell he wasn't in great health. But he was still perfectly able to get a song over and still had ample power upon which to draw when he needed to. The performances by the backing musicians (particularly Ian Stewart) are generally impeccable, the arrangements are tasteful if at times a bit cluttered, and Eric Clapton manages to walk the fine line between showcasing his own chops and not stepping on the toes of Wolf or his material. I think he pulls it off splendidly.
My only two complaints about this album are A) The Steve Winwood organ solo on "Who's Been Talking" (more '60s psychedelia than Chicago blues, sounds out of place), and the criminal relegation of the great Hubert Sumlin to (barely audible) rhythm guitar duties. This is like asking Michelangelo to paint tract houses, and the album would have benefited if Clapton and Sumlin both played lead guitar.
Aside from those fairly minor gripes, there's not really anything to dislike about this album if you enjoy listening to great musicians play great music. Highly recommended.
Blues With a Feelin', That's What I Have Today.......2006-12-23
Howlin' Wolf and guitarist Hubert Sumlin were joined by Eric Clapton (g), Bill Wyman (b), Charlie Watts (d), Jeffrey Carp (h) and other musicians, including Steve Winwood, Ian Stewart, Ringo Starr and Klaus Voorman in what was a tribute to the blues legend. Howlin' Wolf who was not in good health at the time of the recording, but he still packed a punch on these blues standards and - at least one time - showed who was the boss in the studio.
There is a false take for The Red Rooster where Howlin' Wolf stops the recording and chastises Clapton on the way he was playing his electric guitar. Clapton and the rest of the band then convince Howlin' Wolf to play his acoustic guitar along with singing, which follows in the second take.
The choice cuts include I Ain't Superstitious - Starr and Voorman are the rhythm section - Highway 49 and Wang Dang Doodle, where Clapton unleashes some wicked guitar work.
There are other collections that have recordings of Howlin' Wolf in his prime. But for fans who want to hear the influence of blues on British rock musicians or those who may not be familiar Howlin' Wolf, The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions is a great starting point on the trek filled unfortunately with great artists who are nearly forgotten with the passage of time.

THe Original Lost Elektra Sessions.......2006-11-10
A great blues recording........2006-01-03
Why was this music scrapped?!.......2003-10-05
All but one of these 19 tracks were recorded in December, 1964, as Paul Butterfield's projected first LP, but the results were (inexplicably) scrapped and replaced by the band's official self-titled debut, cut a few months later.
With both Sam Lay, Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield already onboard, these sessions are very similar in feel to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band's first album. It's perhaps a little bit rawer in production and performance, but not really worse or different than what ended up on the actual debut LP.
Dedicated primarily to electric Chicago blues standards, it opens with a somewhat rushed take on "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl", followed by a great "Just To Be With You" with some sublime harp playing by Paul Butterfield.
Butterfield also does a pretty good Sonny Boy Williamson (II) on a faithful rendition of "Help Me", and there are many more highlights, including an excellent rendition of the classic blues shuffle "Poor Boy", a slow, smouldering "It Hurts Me Too", an alternate version of the fine original "Our Love Is Drifting", a great, swinging "Take Me Back Baby", Jimmy Rogers' "That's All Right", and yet another Tampa Red-tune, "Love Her With A Feeling".
The band also lay down a really good version of Jimmy Oden's "Goin' Down Slow", and the originals "Lovin' Cup" and the fiery instrumental "Nut Popper #1" are excellent.
Virtually everything here is worth a listen, actually. It's not highly original, but The Paul Butterfield Blues Band's versions of these classic Chicago blues tunes are among the best and most convincing blues music ever waxed by a (primarily) white blues band. And any serious blues guitar lover will want to hear Mike Bloomfield's supremely tasty, economical playing.
Paul Butterfield fans will find this album well worth acquiring, as most of the selections were never officially recorded by the band's original lineup.
Great, classic blues.

Exellent jump blues guitarist and singer..........2005-06-08
His guitar palying is great too, and the songs often backed by honking r&b style saxaphones, and wailin' rhythm sections. His biggest hit "Mama, Talk To Your Daughter", is sort of the answer to Ruth Brown's big hit "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean." Aside from that rockin' boogie hit, there are 12 other songs mostly given the same rockin', rollicking boogie(boogaloo) shuffle. On some of the later cuts, Lenoir's vocie sounds more gruff, where he sounds like he's trying to emulate Jimmy Reed. Great stuff, and it all ROCKS, and has that sort of cruisin' beat that is aparent in all of Jimmy Reed, and Little Walter's recordings. AWESOME DISC!!! 5 1/2 stars all the way!
Underrated.......2004-02-11
Sounding a little like Jimmy Reed fully awake and with less drawling, Lenoir plays driving rhythm guitar (and an occational minimalistic solo), backed by a two-sax combo, bass, piano, and drummer Al Gavin with his singular sense of rhythm. (On the catchy boogie "Give Me One More Shot", Gavin starts out the tune on the wrong beat, gets on the right beat by mistake, and then "corrects" himself!)
A reissue of the original 1989 compilation "The Parrot Sessions, 1954-55: Vintage Chicago Blues", this CD compiles Lenoir's singles for the Parrot label only, so it is not a definitive career overview. But since the Parrot sessions produced some of Lenoir's finest music, it is a very fine place to start.
His stripped-down early singles can be found on "I Feel So Good: 1951-54 J.O.B. Recordings", and most of the rest is on "Vietnam Blues: The Complete L&R Recording" and "Mojo Boogie: An Essential Collection".
