Jonny Meister’s Blues Video of the Day – Howlin’ Wolf "How Many More Years"
This month we’re celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Blues Show w/ Jonny Meister. Each weekday during the month Jonny will share a blues video. Today: Howlin’ Wolf performs “How Many More Years.”
Howlin’ Wolf was at once both menacing and inviting. His singing style derived from the Mississippi traditions exemplified by the whooping vocal styles of pre-war artists like Tommy Johnson. Like Muddy Waters, Wolf was one of the most recognizable figures of postwar Chicago blues, an artist who both entertained his audiences and reached deep into their souls.
