Howlin' really is one of the greatest artists the blues ever produced, he was a musical giant in every way. Ihope owners of the rights want to see this as an honor to this artist, which it really is. And same goes to these random photos and paintings, which I have found from net. The iconic photos of Wolf howling with guitar at 1:03 and 1:10 are used with kindly permission by Sandy Guy Schoenfeld , please visit www.howlingwolfphotos.com My hope is that everyone can just listen to this fine musician. Enjoy! Its so nice, that you can still buy these recordings on CD !

The mighty reapers formed from the ashes of the Dynamic Hepnotics, who broke up after their smash hit of 1984-85 Soul Kind Of Feeling. The Mighty Reapers consist of Continental Robert Susz on vocals and harmonica, Dave Brewer on Guitar and Vocals, Vito Portolesi on bass, Antero Cescin on Drums and Clayton Doley on Hammond Organ.
