NFT: "Killing Floor" Played as Good as it Gets...

M.S. : 2/11/2017 4:39 pm
...I am old enough to have seen Howlin' Wolf perform with his awesome side man, Hubert Sumlin, and for red raw, big man sounds... Howlin' Wolf had no peer. Just a massive man with a massive voice.

But long after Howlin' Wolf passed away, the younger Hubert Sumlin made quite a name for himself and performed well into his golden years. One of those performances was Wolfman's "Killing Floor" with Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan and Robert Cray.

Watch what happens when great guitarists come together. The song starts around 32 seconds and within 15 seconds this song is boppin'. By the 45th second, Clapton looks over with a smile that says it all.

The fact that you saw Howlin angers me with jealousy.

I saw Hubert a couple of time. Great stuff.
Use to watch Robert Cray perform in Texas back in the 80's
