Just my opinion, but Howlin Wolf was in a class all by himself...

Not only in a class of his own but obviously so. LastFM
Howlin’ Wolf was a musical giant in every way. He stood six-foot-six, weighed almost three hundred pounds, wore size seventeen shoes, and poured out his darkest sorrows onstage in a voice like a raging chainsaw.
The Red Rooster is my favourite.
I agree, Howlin' Wolf was a very unique individual. He reminds me of old men that I grew up with though. My grandfather was a railroad man, he built track for the Kansas City Southern line.
His friends were huge powerful black men, with raspy voices that spoke in that kind of rugged folk rhythm and told folksy stories like Mr. Wolf.
I can still remember my grandfather and his friends sitting around and talking, they said things similar to statements made by Howlin' Wolf, like "When you ain't got no money, then you got the blues!"
Check out the intro to this song, the little speach he gives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ou-6A3MKow
His performances stop me in my tracks.
