I have been told by some friends that Howlin Wolf didn't like this album but I do. Its is an enjoyable session with some pleasing playing from Eric Clapton, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Ian Stewart along side his regular guitarist Hubert Sumlin. This may not rate highly with some of his hardcore fans I enjoyed it .
