Description
I'm a tail dragger
I wipe out my track
When I get what I want
I don't come sneakin' back
Wow! What powerful sentiments and self-awareness--to put it politely. Possibly something to do with women? What a voice, so deep and full with a little vinegar giving the words a twist, but coming straight at you like a D9 bulldozer. And he's all business -- the Chicago blues business. If he was a gangsta talking at you, you would momentarily admire the power and sonority of the voice and then run for cover.
Great tunes like Killing Floor, Sittin' on Top of the World, Tail Dragger, Three Hundred Pounds of Joy. Chester Arthur Burnett (1910-1976, aka Howlin' Wolf) was a big man with a big following.
Here's your chance to get a 1st pressing of one of his most popular albums of that era. I bought it when it first came out in 1965, in St. Louis -- the only place I could find it was a small R&B record store--on the near north side as I recall. Now after 55 years, it's time to pass it on.
PACKING FOR SHIPPING: All of our LPs are bubble-wrapped and mailed in heavy LP boxes with the vinyl in a protective plastic-lined sleeve placed outside the jacket.
