Howlin' Wolf: Boy, You Got The Blues There Vol. 1 (LP, 10inch, 45rpm)

1-LP 10inch vinyl with booklet, 45 RPM, 10 tracks, total playing time 28:50 min.  

  • Howlin' Wolf's earliest recordings (1951 - 1953), recorded by Sam Phillips at his Memphis Recording Service and unreleased at the time!
  • Alternate versions and unreleased masters discovered more than 25 years later.
  • Brutal, primal electric blues from one of the true greats of the genre!
  • Willie Johnson's guitar amp barely survived these sessions.
  • Digitally copied from the original sources and currently remastered for the vinyl edition using state-of-the-art studio technology.
  • Liner notes and discographical details in the illustrated booklet by British blues expert and historian Martin Hawkins.
  • Coming soon: 'Boy, You Got More Blues There' (BAF14032) with another 10 originally unreleased Memphis recordings.  

This 10” vinyl LP contains music that cemented the style of one of the greats of the Mississippi blues and later of Chicago rhythm and blues. 

Between May 1951 and early 1953 the Howlin’ Wolf, Chester Burnett, made his first-ever recording sessions. They took place in Tennessee at the Memphis Recording Service, where producer and engineer Sam Phillips was not afraid to take a chance on a singer who was already over forty years old and whose then small claim to fame was a local radio show across the river at KWEM in West Memphis.

In fact, nothing would have stopped Phillips recording the Wolf. Phillips was captivated by his voice. He was the first to hear and understand the man’s potential. 

Sam Phillips said that he heard Wolf on the radio and got word to him at KWEM that he would be interested in recording him. He placed him under contract in spring 1951, and sold Wolf’s recordings to Chess Records in Chicago. The first release, How Many More Years, became a national number four R&B chart hit that summer. 

Chester Burnett, the Howlin’ Wolf, only recorded in Memphis for two years, but that was time enough for him and his band with the ingenious guitarist Willie Johnson to perfect many of his trademark phrases, howls, rhythms, riffs, and solos. 

Sam Phillips captured all these moments of creation in the ten tracks in this album (and in ten more in the linked album ‘Boy, You Got More Blues Here’ - BAF14032) which remained unissued in Phillips’ tape boxes for over twenty-five years until rediscovered. 

So, what you hear in this album is vitally important blues music, and it’s supremely good.

Howlin' Wolf

Für einen Mann, der kein Studio von innen gesehen hatte, bis er 40 war, holte Chester Arthur Burnett eine Menge verlorener Zeit auf. Immerhin verfügte der Riese, der unter dem Namen Howlin' Wolf bekannt wurde, über die furchterregendsten, wildesten Stimmbänder in den Annalen des elektrischen Nachkriegsblues. Seine keuchende Mundharmonika war ebenso unverwechselbar wie seine unschlagbare Bühnenshow – er rollte regelmäßig über die Bretter, um sexuelle Ekstase nachzuahmen, oder er kletterte die Bühnenvorhänge hinauf wie ein wildgewordener Irrer.

 

"Wolf war der Größte, den ich jemals gekannt habe",sagt sein langjähriger Saxofonist Eddie Shaw."Wolf war nicht nur ein Musiker, er war ein Entertainer. Dafür habe ich ihn respektiert."

Am 10. Juni 1910 in White Station, Mississippi (in der Nähe von West Point) geboren, erhielt Burnett seinen Künstlernamen von seinem Großvater (der mächtige Junge wurde auch Big Foot und Bullcow genannt). Seine Familie ließ sich 1923 im Delta nieder, und 1928 erhielt er persönlichen Unterricht an der Gitarre vom großen Charley Patton. Chester schnappte Mundharmonika-Licks von Rice Miller – alias Sonny Boy Williamson #2 – auf, als der Harpspieler Wolfs Schwester umwarb. Burnett spielte schon 1938 elektrische Gitarre auf der Straße. Nach seiner Rückkehr von einer unschönen Zeit bei der Armee während des Zweiten Weltkriegs widmete sich der große Mann intensiver seiner Musik und konnte 1949 eine tägliche 15-minütige Sendung bei der Radiostation KWEM in West Memphis übernehmen. Sam Phillips hörte zufällig eine davon, und es haute ihn schier um.

Phillips brachte Wolf im Frühjahr 1951 für Demoaufnahmen zum allmählich Fahrt aufnehmenden Memphis Recording Service. Sam schickte die Ergebnisse in den Norden zu Chess, die eine richtige Aufnahmesitzung mit ihm wollten, das war entweder im Mai oder August. Begleitet wurde Wolf von seinem Vorschlaghammer-Gitarristen Willie Johnson aus Lake Cormorant, Mississippi (geboren am 4. März 1923), der in der einen Sekunde gefällige Nonenakkorde spielte und in der nächsten Stacheldraht-Soli dröhnen ließ. Ebenfalls zur Stelle waren der Drummer Willie Steele und ein Pianist. How Many More Yearsund die gespenstische Rückseite Moanin' At Midnightwurden bei dieser ersten Session aufgenommen. Beide stießen auf Chess in die R&B-Charts vor, wobei How Many höher kam, bis auf Platz 4.

Inzwischen hatte Ike Turner die Bihari-Brüder auf Wolfs Können aufmerksam gemacht; sie verpflichteten ihn für ihr RPM-Logo und setzten im September des selben Jahres eine Session bei KWEM an, bei der Morning At Midnight(Moanin' At Midnightin hauchdünner Verkleidung), eine Variante von How Many More Years unter dem Titel Dog Me Around sowie zwei weitere Stücke entstanden. "Die Plattenfirma Modern meldete sich, und wir nahmen die selben Songs für sie auf und kriegten 25 Dollar pro Stück",sagte Turner. Weil Wolf nun auch auf RPM war, wurde die Fehde zwischen Leonard Chess und den Bihari-Brüdern von Modern hitziger. Der Streit wurde im nächsten Jahr schließlich beigelegt, indem Modern den Pianist Rosco Gordon aus Memphis behielt (eine weitere Entdeckung von Phillips, die beide Labels für sich beanspruchten), während Wolf zu Chess ging 

So großartig Rosco war, diese Runde ging doch eher an Leonard.
