Howlin' Wolf is the greatest blues singer of all time. He was also a great band leader.The best record he ever did was Change My Way with Hubert Sumlin on lead guitar . On London Sessions the Wolf's vocals are different because he is getting older and Hubert is playing rhythm guitar while Eric Clapton plays lead guitar. These three factors have led to a lot of unfair criticism of this fine record. Those who dismiss the vocals on this record remind me of people who dis' Robert Plant's excellent latter day recordings because he can't sing the Immigrant Song like he did when he was 21 years old any longer. I'm a huge fan of Hubert Sumlin and he had a massive influence upon the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughn .However he had already played solos on recordings of most of the songs on London Sessions so why would he record them again. Recording them with Clapton was a great idea. Clapton plays very well on London Sessions and it increased the sales of this record. Young white people like myself often bought this record because E.C. was playing on it and it helped us appreciate the people like Chester Burnett who invented electric blues.
