I have a Chess Records 50th Anniversary Collection CD "Sonny Boy
Williamson: His Best". It has a studio track from The Real Folk Blues LP
(1960) "Checkin' Up On My Baby" which sounds just like Howlin' Wolf
singing, but the credits for this song don't indicate that. The harp
playing is also great. So does anyone know if this is Wolf or SBWII
imitating him (doubtful)? And if it is Wolf (likely), is that SBWII
accompanying him on the harp (likely)?
Great tracks on this disc though. It's especially striking how different
his sound is from track 7 on where he started playing amplified around
1957. A great disc to listen to.
