CD two giving further coverage to the harmonica and another serious workout is the album ‘Wolf Pack’. Great artwork imagery leads one to the contents containing twenty-eight tracks of mainly blues material. There’s red-hot harmonica in abundance with, leading the way, Walter Horton and ‘Have A Good Time’, and then followed by Sonny And Jaycee ‘You Keep Dogging Me’ and Jesse Perkins and The Bad Boys ‘One More Kiss’. From there, the music continues its feisty streak with Drifting Slim and ‘My Sweet Woman’, Harper-Brinson Band with ‘Harpers Return’, Lightnin’ Slim’s ‘Rooster Blues’, and Billy Bland with ‘Chicken Hop’. Adding variation to the up-tempo numbers can be found during one of the album’s highlights that is Willie B. and nearly drifting off to sleep ‘This I Gotta See’; a song full of originality with its dreamlike qualities making it utterly essential listening. Further variation is heard via wonderful ramshackle presentation of ‘Stack Of Dollars’ from Joe Williams, before welcoming some traditional rhythm and blues during ‘I Ain’t Got No Money’ with Billy (Boy) Arnold providing compelling narration throughout. Honour of the title track is bestowed to Kid Thomas, and there are serious guitar and harmonica workouts from back-to-back songs Whispering Smith ‘Live Jive’ and Eddie Taylor ‘You’ll Always Have A Home’. There may be some familiarity here, but there is certainly plenty of less familiar tunes to make ‘Wolf Pack’ an essential purchase for those who love a bit of the blues.
