bluesrhythm and blues

This 1965 single version of "Wang Dang Doodle" features a less characteristic, more pop-oriented arrangement than the original, showcasing a different facet of Howlin' Wolf's later career.

Chester Burnett, known as Howlin' Wolf, was a foundational figure in Chicago blues and a peerless vocalist. This 1965 single found him working with the Chess Records house band, including members of the electric blues elite, though this particular track was a departure from his grittier Chicago sound.
