For the first post, let's hear what one of the best blues players of all time had to say about the blues. I'm talking about Howlin' Wolf  in a recording made in '66. Unique and truly talented, Howlin' Wolf was one of the greatest representatives of Chicago blues and an artist who's work is filled with the very essence of what blues is all about.
Just as a side note, his real name was Chester Arthur Burnett (according to wikipedia : Howlin' Wolf's Page @ Wikipedia )
