- WXPN
Hubert Sumlin is one of the most famous sidemen in blues history, having
supplied the signature guitar sound on many of Howlin' Wolf's classic
records. On his new album "About Them Shoes", Sumlin is also really a
sideman, with rock and pop stars in front, which gives rise to many
questions about the relationship of blues and rock music, and the racial
issues surrounding the blues.
