The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock & Roll

About The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock & Roll

Arguably second only to Muddy Waters among the Mississippi Delta singers who traveled north and pioneered urban electric blues (their supposed rivalry is the subject of one of this DVD's bonus features), Wolf was a big, imposing man with an inimitable, booming voice and a lasting influence on generations of rock & rollers--all of which comes across in the 90-minute film.

The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock & Roll (2003) is a documentary music film directed by Don McGlynn. It runs 88 minutes and was released in November 2003.

Its themes are blues, rhythm and blues (r&b), and concert.

Howlin' Wolf takes the lead as Himself, and Muddy Waters as Himself. American members can watch it on Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Prime Video with Ads, and FlixFling.
