With a voice rougher than Chicago's winter wind and a swagger that could own any room, Howlin' Wolf didn't just play the blues, he was the blues. Born Chester Burnett in the sun-scorched Delta, he was raised on raw field songs and gospel shouts, but it wasn't long before he caught the fire of the blues, working under the wing of the legendary Charley Patton. Wolf took those Delta roots north, and when he hit Chicago, he brought a sound so fierce it turned heads and lit up the city's smoky blues joints. Wolf wasn't just another bluesman; he was a storm on stage, a voice like gravel, a growl that reached right into your gut, and man - when he leaned into that mic, you knew you were hearing something you'd never forget. With "I Am The Wolf", you get more than a glimpse of his story - you get the whole arc. This collection is a map of his journey, capturing the essence of a man who fought his way from Mississippi's hard dirt roads to Chicago's gritty stages. It's a full-blooded tribute to Wolf's career, from his earliest days soaking up the Delta's rhythms to his final recordings that showed he was as raw and real as ever.
