Rolling Stone (5/29/03, p.66) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Blues initiates will find the interactions - including the many alternative versions and snippets of studio patter - fascinating..." Mojo (Publisher) (7/03, p.124) - 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...".

Personnel: Howlin' Wolf (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Eric Clapton, Hubert Sumlin (guitar); Jeffrey M. Carp (harmonica); Joe Miller, Jordan Sandke, Dennis Lansing (horns); Steve Winwood (piano, organ); John Simon, Lafayette Leake, Ian Stewart (piano); Bill Wyman (bass, shaker, cowbell); Klaus Voorman, Phil Upchurch (bass); Charlie Watts (drums, congas, percussion); Richie (drums). Recorded at Olympic Sound Studios, London, England in 1970. Originally released on Chess Records. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl. For the casual blues fan with a scant knowledge of the Wolf, this 1971 pairing, with Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones, Ringo Starr, and other British superstars, appears on the surface to be one hell of a super session. Although that's not really the case, it's nowhere near as awful as some blues purists make it out to be. ~ Cub Koda
