| This feature length documentary film directed by Don McGlynn and produced by Joe Lauro celebrates the life of Blues Legend Chester Burnett aka The Howlin' Wolf. Along with Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and BB King, Howlin’ Wolf is considered one of the most popular and influential of the Blues Men. From his humble Mississippi Delta upbringing, to his celebrated later work with the likes of Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones, Wolf's life is explored in vivid detail through interviews with family members, friends and musicians who worked with him, including Rolling Stones Mick Jaeger and Brian Jones, Sun Records founder and Elvis Presley mentor Sam Phillips. Rare photo's and recently discovered archival performance clips dominate the film and Wolf's dynamic performance style, and many of his hit tunes are in clear view. | |||
