Review: Put simply, the Wolf album is his best in years. In addition to the above-cited personnel, Wolf is also assisted by other Chicago-based bluesmen on the order of Hubert Sumlin, on rhythm guitar, and pianist Lafayette Leake, while other English-based session participants include Jeff Carp, Ian Stewart and Klaus Voormann. But, the basic band of Clapton, Winwood, Wyman and Watts playing those old Chess blues licks that they all started their careers with were the exact propulsion that Howlin' Wolf needed to get in the mood that results in thirteen blues-stellar performances.
