Message To The Young

Howlin' Wolf - "Message To The Young" / This was the 8th album by blues master Howlin' Wolf released by Chess Records in 1971. Often considered an attempt at offering the masses a psychedelic record, it's 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.
