"In the history of the blues, there has never been anyone quite like Howlin' Wolf. Six foot three, close to 300 puonds in his salad days, the Wolf was the primal force of music spun out to its ultimate conclusion. A Robert Johnson may have possessed more lyrical insight,  a Muddy Waters more dignity, and a B.B. King more technical expertise, but no one could match him for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simulataneously scaring its patrons out of their wits." All Music Guide To The Blues.

"I was afraid of the Wolf, like you would be some kind of wild animal... It was the sound he was giving off!". - Johhny Shines
