Meeting of the guitar giants
Hubert Sumlin (Wolf's favorite guitarist) meets
Scotty
Moore (Elvis's favorite guitarist) backstage
at the Ponderosa Stomp in New
Orleans
Besides being a GREAT guitarist, you were
a true
gentleman, and a real gentle man.
We’ll miss you always, Hubert.

Read “Moanin’
at Midnight” —

biography of the great Howlin’ Wolf —
a Blues Hall of Fame inductee
as “a classic
of blues literature”!
“Answers almost every who, what, and why about the blues
giant.”
- National Public Radio
“An insightful—and long overdue—look at an utterly unique and
influential performer.”
- The Houston Chronicle
“A superb biography of the bluesman Sam Phillips thought
could have changed rock ’n’ roll history.”

More than 35 years ago, Howlin’ Wolf predicted the first black President:
“You know, they called us ‘coons’—said we didn’t have no
sense.
You gonna wake up one morning, and a coon’s gonna be the President.”
—“Coon on the Moon” from The Back Door Wolf, recorded in 1973
We’re
always
looking for unpublished photos, unseen or unheard film, video, and sound
clips, and first-person stories of and about Howlin’ Wolf!
If you have any of these or know someone else who does, please contact
Mark Hoffman. Thanks!
