Editorial Reviews
...a delightful surprise...he seems inspired and, as a result, turns in one hell of a performance...
Rolling Stone Magazine (09/30/1971)

4 stars out of 5 - ...Once the bluesman arrived at Olympic Sound Studios, a free-for-all ensued as fans such as Ringo Starr and Mick Jagger showed up to rub shoulders with their hero....These tracks rock'n'roll....
Mojo (07/01/2003)

      Howlin' Wolf- London Sessions
    Review created: 02/16/08

    As a child of the sixties, I didn't worry about where the music came from; I only knew that I was drawn to some music far more than other styles. The London Sessions are a revelation, showing what influenced my favorite musicians of the era and of all time.

    After seeing Clapton, Hubert Sumlin, and Steve Winwood play together at Crossroads 2008, this CD is exciting as much for it's pure musical value as for the history involved.

    Howlin' Wolf's voice draws you in, as something familiar and inviting. You start hearing different portions of the music, and the songs seem to change each time you play them. The music is very clear, especially given the age and technology used.

    I'm so glad I stumbled on to this recording- it's a treasure.

      London Howlin' Wolf Sessions CD
    Review created: 12/07/07

    I bought this CD 'cause I AM AM CRAZY ABOUT THE WOLF ! What i like about it is that Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman, and others collaborated with him on new arrangements of some of his most famous songs. The music is great. The Wolf's voice is still great too, though he recorded this album in his declining years. What I didn't like about this CD is that it didn't have "Smokestack Lightin'"--one of his very best tunes. If you like the blues, you'll love the Wolf. So get it. Also, there is a DVD bio of Howlin Wolf that is totally superb..In addition to recordings, there are interviews with those who knew and loved him, and outtakes with the Wolf that reveal his magnetic personality and marvelous sense of humor.

      London Howlin' Wolf Sessions still sounds FINE!!!!!!!

    I have been wanting to replace an ancient, scratchy LP for quite some time. Sometimes one wonders why a once favorite album was not replaced sooner and this is the case here! It stands the test of time very well and the Steve Winwood keyboards are simply marvelous....
    I learned to love the blues via this album along with the London Muddy Waters Sessions and anything by the Yardbirds, Fleetwood Mac or ROlling Stones. Good Blues within a very rocking matrix is what I like and this is what I got!!!!!!
