First time I heard a Howlin’ Wolf record I was taken aback by the uniqueness and distinctivness of his guitar player. Later found out that was a fellow named Hubert Sumlin and he was a good one. By all accounts, a class act too. A lot of music we grew up with actually came from him and the Wolf:
Smokestack Lightning
Red Rooster
Back Door Man
Spoonful
To name just a few.
Here the obit from the Times:
