Howlin Wolf was one of the only band leaders that did it right from that time period. Fair pay, insurance, paid into their SSI, and didn't allow any drugs or alcohol use when touring. According to everyone that knew him, he was fiercely loyal to his wife. Who do you know these days that all of that is true of?

I knew nothing of the blues and never even heard the name Howlin Wolf til I saw this movie, then I started listening to his songs and came across Spoonful, good lord this guy had a voice that was just unreal. I've gotten into a lot of great older blues musicians over the last year but Howlin Wolf is definitely my favorite. You can truly feel the power and emotion through his voice, it's really something special!

Ha! I had that on vinyl, bought it at a used record store in NYC back in 1979, I think

Remember that in the introduction of Muddy to Howlin' Wolf and Muddy commented that Wolf couldn't score a woman with the raggedy truck he had. So this scene shows Wolf spiffied up and being able to attract Middy's side chick, proving that Muddy is not that special to that woman; also Wolf one-ups Muddy by asserting control over his band, unlike Muddy whom allowed Len to control him, his band and his expenses; Muddy moves to steal Wolf's prized band mate as retribution. Wolf, again, one-ups Muddy by staging a possible fatal confrontation that thoroughly convinces Hubert to return to Wolf's band, because Wolf offers more protection and even fear. Last, Wolf has enough money to contribute to the funeral expenses of Muddy's best friend and band mate, which Muddy isn't able to due to his lascivious living, careless spending and poor decision making. Wolf had the least amount of scenes, but stood out as Muddy's senior in every single scene they encountered because Wolf wasn't just a big, dumb,giant sideshow freak, but a calculating, disciplined and wise man unlike Muddy whom was good-looking, charming, yet desperate, indecisive and a short-term thinker. I would hope for a Howlin'Wolf biopic with Eamonn Walker because he straight killed this role 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯
