RIP Hubert...

What better reason to do something like music than just because you love it? It's really easy, all you gotta do is quit your day job, and alienate your family, and confuse all your friends, and live in squalor for a few years, and you got it - Bruce Molsky, Alberta Street Public House, Portland, OR, 2006

thank you, hubert r.i.p. In R&B Monthly January 1965 part of Mike Vernon's editorial read:
How many people would be willing to pay 10 shillings for a single record (with two titles) of Hubert Sumlin? For plans are a foot. Just drop us a postcard giving name and address: heading card "Hubert Sumlin". If we get a good response something will be done! Those who took up the offer (99 copies pressed) were sent the following: G with Neil Slaven (g -1). Kenley, 29 November 1964 MBH 10001 Across the board -1 Blue Horizon (E) 1000 MBH 10002 Sumlin boogie Blue Horizon (E) 1000 The work in progress below gives an idea of Sumlin's recorded work with the mighty Wolf

A great and highly original guitarist, to be sure. I have a few friends who were inspired to play guitar based on the Howlin' Wolf recordings featuring Hubert Sumlin. (It should be noted, however, that some of the write-ups now appearing after Hubert's death are crediting him with guitar parts that should rightly go to Willie Johnson or Jody Williams. Hubert Sumlin did plenty of great work on his own; he doesn't need any help!)
