Here’s a the same vid of the Wolf without the intro and annoying “Reelin in the Years” banner across the screen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9eIQIMYnPvw

It’s been on my Wolf playlist for years. Not a small number of those 1.9K views are mine. Heh. Chester had the most commanding presence of any bluesman, and not just physically. He wasn’t the most technical of harp players, but the tone he wrangled out of that thing was unbelievable.

Haven’t heard what I consider top shelf rock or blues in a very long time, but the two newish offerings you posted in 140 weren’t bad. Better than most of the period.

90%+ of what I listen to was composed/recorded prior to the mid ‘70s. Can’t see that changing. And Lord knows I’ve given all sorts of new music a fair shot these past few decades.
