"[B]y debriefing nearly 150 musicians who knew him and drawing on secondary sources as well, and by the subtle imposition of a few overriding themes, [the authors] have done important work in bringing Wolf down a little closer to life size." "This fluid, fascinating and thoroughly researched biography is a long overdue tribute....Music writers Segrest and Hoffman do a superb job of capturing the many facets of Wolf's long career....Best of all, the authors wonderfully describe Wolf's inimitable style on the many recordings he made in Chicago for Chess Records...." AnnotationHowlin' Wolf (1910-76), one of the giants of Delta blues, was a charismatic, difficult, warmhearted, and hugely talented man whose greatness encompassed both his breathtaking guitar work and his famously dramatic raspy voice. This biography--the first complete life of Wolf--provides an outsized portrait of the man who was born in poverty as Chester Arthur Burnett, detailing his rise through the blues clubs of Memphis and Chicago to become an international star, and one of the most popular blues singers ever. Interviewing musicians, family, wives, girlfriends, and friends, the authors cover his painful childhood, his early years, his rivalry with Muddy Waters, his marriages, and his recordings. They also document his influences--chiefly, Charley Patton and Sonny Boy Williamson--as well as his own immense influence on musicians like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, and Ringo Starr. With an introduction by B.B. King and a large collection of photos old and new, MOANIN' AT MIDNIGHT is the definitive work on a larger-than-life musical legend.
