Smokestack lightnin’ howlin’ wolf (aka Chester Arthur Burnett)
============================================================================
An early song from howlin’ wolf styled after his heroes early delta blues style. The
song consists of two guitar riffs; the song opens with the first riff played 4 times then
second riff then the first again with a blues (harp) harmonica instrumental just after
two. And there are some root notes thrown in from time to time it sounds about right.
