It was intended to be a Concept Album in which Howlin' Wolf was a rock singer. In a rather unusual take the singer himself disliked the album, but Chess Records just used this as an advertising strategy by putting this on the album.If you're a blues purist you may consider this record to be a commercial sell-out which hasn't aged well. If you like Psychedelic Rock it's definitely interesting. Despite the singer's own objections the single "Evil" peaked at #43 in the Billboard.This album was recorded during the same sessions that produced the similar and more famous Muddy Waters album Electric Mud, with the same backing group, the Rotary Connection, who Marshall Chess assembled out of prominent avant-garde jazz-rock musicians. The sessions with Howlin' Wolf were even more contentious than the Waters sessions, as, while Waters was more open to the experimentation, Howlin' Wolf so vocally expressed disdain for the new sound that, at one point, he told a session guitarist to take his wah-wah pedals and psychedelic effects and toss them in a lake. On both albums, neither singer plays guitar, but are misleadingly credited as such.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) TracklistSide One "Spoonful" (3:52) "Tail Dragger" (4:33) "Smokestack Lightnin'" (3:56) "Moanin' at Midnight" (3:15) "Built for Comfort" (5:11)Side Two "The Red Rooster" (3:50) "Evil" (4:06) "Down in the Bottom" (2:45) "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy" (2:35) "Back Door Man" (6:51) Three Hundred Tropes of Joy
