Howlin' Wolf - Message To The Young

Eighth album by blues master Howlin' Wolf

This was the eigth album by blues master Howlin' Wolf released by Chess Records in 1971. Often considered an attempt at offering the masses a psychedelic record, its sound ranges from acid-rock, to blues, to funk, and back again.

The title song is Wolf's attempt at reaching the youth of the era in a beautiful spoken word ballad which can easily be summed up in two words: "Be Yourself." Arranged and conducted by Cash McCall, this album presents Wolf in the company of legendary pianist Sonny Thompson.
