I've been obsessed with Howlin' Wolf for over 40 years. I first heard him when I was four or five, coming out of my dad's stereo, back when stereo systems were big pieces of furniture. He sounded like a primal, p*ssed-off tornado to my young ears.
@tbone1, had one of those pieces of furniture. It seemed to match the wooden TV that looked more like a fishtank (much to the kids dismay - kept it for far too many years). We have updated the furniture since the kids moved out, which in all fairness was quite a few years ago, filled the then new media server with music we like . R&B and good old fashioned Rock and Roll!

@tbone1, thanks for Buddy Guy. My youtube will be going silly today as I listen in... Apart from the track posted above, have already watched his rendition of Mustang Sally and Sweet Home Chicago. He certainly loves his instrumentals.
@BillyYank, Spoonful is one of my fav of Howlin' Wolf (best = Smokestack Lightin').
@DragonKing, although I wouldn't go out and buy this style, one of my sons is very much into it. It plays in the backgound when we visit I couldn't tell the artists). Pleasant to listen to but it isn't Rock or Blues. I will let him know about Illogic for his listening pleasure. It has become a bit of an inhouse joke as to the type of music played during visitation, I think I will play illogic for his next . There is enough in youtube...
@Gusinda Back in the sixties, Jimi Hendrix would cancel his own gig if Buddy Guy was playing in the same town that night just so,he could see Buddy play. Do you need any other endorsement?
Chris Cornell passed away yesterday at the age of 52. This is still one of my favorites performances of his and it's been on repeat here for the last hour or so.
@Gusinda Not to many people know of abstract rap, is a beautiful art that doesn't get it's due, due to the stuff that's forever gets played on TV and radio. lyrically illogic is one the greatest MC I've ever heard, and i know a lot of MC.
Only forms of music i tend to go looking for daily is hip hop, classical, and orchestra. I like some blues and some rock, but i couldn't name musicians and bands if asked like i can with hip hop.
@DragonKing, thanks for that. I am heading around for a visit tomorrow and shall take both artists with me. Would have preferred to have them playing here at home to suprise him with our choice of music... I had it playing in the background and it is great listening. Watching some other clips on youtube, bit of a suprise with the nose picking for the first clip I selected ('I gave it all') but it is all part of the production value... Enjoyed 'Dead Horse'. Good music for just listening (but still not as good as the R&B ). I shall stir the pot here I am sure with this comment, but it has a similar form to modern Blues.
@Gusinda I mean, if you want me to go into it, the thing that made rap unique in its own right was the fact it mixed genre in its sound and feel. You have soh that will be reminiscent of rock (rock and rap are actually two genres that are very close to each other despite the fact the fans are always freaking butting heads), of blues, of country, and so own.
One of the best albums of the entire decade of the 60s, a cult-classic and a frequent occupant of greatest album lists, "Forever Changes" from the band Love, this is the closing track, but the whole album is a cohesive piece of work:

This might be my favorite pop album that hardly anyone knows. There is a mid-60s creepiness underlying the light acoustic folky-rock that is absolutely fantastic.

So different than Gould's interpretation, but also fabulous.
And, for more groove, Gogol Bordello, Gypsy Punks : https://youtube.com/watch?v=726yNAy7rjg
Can't get enough of Gogol Bordello !!
WHOO-OO OO OO
Their version of Spoonful is amazing.
Entertainment for the Braindead, a one-woman folk music band. Lots of guitars and banjos and violins.
And the audio tracks for Llamas with Hats and Charlie the Unicorn by FilmCow, because their voices got stuck in my head.
Carl: I appeared to have swallowed an entire person.
Paul: That would be the hotel bartender...
Carl: Well, that explains why my mojito is taking so long.
Paul: It was horrifying! Your mouth unhinged like a snake.
Carl: Wow, that sounds pretty awesome.
