Talk:Howlin' Wolf

Origin of Name[edit]

It seems unlikely that Howlin' actually said that his grandfather said the wolves would "get him" or that the grandfather actually said "get him" since it would have him addressing himself in the third person so it would appear the quoting is unwarranted.

Add Willie Dixon as an Associated Act?[edit]

I'm just throwing this out there. I know they worked together on many important blues tracks, including Hidden Charms, 300 Pounds of Joy, Back Door Man, Spoonful, Little Red Rooster, etc. etc..

I think it's probably warranted. I know that Hubert Sumlin is more strongly associated with Wolf than Dixon, but in my mind Dixon is definitely as associated act. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hazuki (talk • contribs) 20:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that Willie Dixon was such a prolific songwriter and performer, that you would have to find a reference for it. As it is, there is little information in Dixon's own article, which mainly consists of a list of the songs he wrote and the hundreds of people who covered his music, from Muddy Waters to Led Zeppelin. It would be helpful to find more people willing to help edit Willie Dixon's own page. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 06:28, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bio[edit]

It says he died after treatment in a VA hospital. That implies he was in the Army. Any details? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.33.17 (talk) 22:09, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
