Our Take

The latest offering from blues legend Howlin' Wolf, "Big City Blues," is a rollicking journey through the gritty streets of urban America. Emanating that signature Wolf growl, the album kicks off with the stomping title track, setting the tone for a raucous ride ahead.

Tracks like "Highway 49" and "Spoonful" showcase Wolf's raw, guttural vocals paired with searing guitar riffs that hit you right in the feels. It's hard not to get lost in the smoky atmosphere conjured up by these bluesy tales of love and loss.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Big City Blues." The infectious energy of songs like "Shake for Me" and "Going Down Slow" will have you tapping your feet and swaying along in no time. And let's not forget the soulful ballad "I Asked for Water," where Wolf's emotive delivery truly shines.

While some may argue that this album doesn't bring anything new to the table, it's hard to deny the timeless appeal of Howlin' Wolf's music. "Big City Blues" is a reminder of why he remains a legendary figure in the world of blues, and a testament to the enduring power of his music. So turn up the volume, pour yourself a glass of whisky, and let Howlin' Wolf take you on a wild ride through the Big City Blues.
