Late blues from Howlin' Wolf here, and a cracker it is. To anyone familiar with Led Zeppelin, you will immediately recognise the link between this and their " Lemon Song " which was subtitled " Killing Floor " and incorporated part of the music from the Howlin' Wolf track, one of the reasons why Messrs. Page and Plant were frequently accused of plagiarism. The Howlin' Wolf version has a freshness and originality all its own and still stands up today. And the Wolf's distinctive voice lends it a character all its own. Like a lot of electric blues this was later to be sadly overshadowed by the rise of acts such as Cream and Led Zeppelin.
