Feature: Howlin’ Wolf
A legend
on the point of collapse; a weird atmosphere of contempt and hero worship; and
what was Ringo doing there? Forget everything you know about The London Howlin’
Wolf Sessions. This is the most in-depth look at this landmark meeting when the
Chicago blues giant schooled the British rock elite: Eric Clapton, Stevie
Winwood and The Rolling Stones.
Also
featured in this issue…
•North
Mississippi Allstars: Luther Dickinson takes you through the recording of new
album World Boogie is Coming; an album cut with the help of Lightnin’ Malcolm,
Duwayne and Garry Burnside, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Sharde Thomas, Chris Chew
and Robert Plant on harmonica.
•Cyril
Neville: The one-time member of N’Awlins legends The Meters, and current
singer/percussionist with the Royal Southern Brotherhood, guides us through his
incredible career leading up to the new solo album Magic Honey.
•BabaJack:
From strip bars to scene champions in three years, British acoustic duo
BabaJack are setting the pace for modern blues. As crowd-funded third album
Running Man bursts out of the blocks, we met Becky Tate and Trevor Steger to
hear about champagne, jailbirds and swimming with the sharks…
•Joanne
Shaw Taylor: The British singer/guitarist follows up her well-received studio
album Almost Always Never with the new live set, Songs From The Road
•Sammy
Hagar: The Red Rocker has recorded a solo album steeped in his love of the
blues. “If I’d turned in this record back in the Van Halen days,” says the
ex-Van Halen and current Chickenfoot frontman, “the record company would have
told me to shove it up my ass…”
•The
Hoax: Nineties upstarts The Hoax derailed before they reaped the blues boom.
Now they’re back with the album of their lives – plus a fistful of tales of
smoking Johnny Winter, jamming with Joe-Bo and telling their label to go forth
and multiply…
•Gov’t
Mule: Warren Haynes on how he called on some pals –Glenn Hughes, Toots Hibbert,
Myles Kennedy, Elvis Costello and others - for the recording of the band’s new
two-disc album, Shout!
