The Back Door Wolf


The Back Door Wolf is the final studio album by blues musician Howlin' Wolf, released by Chess Records in 1973.

Reception

In a retrospective AllMusic review, critic Cub Koda wrote: "This, Wolf's last hurrah, is his final studio album. Cut with his regular working band, the Wolf Gang, everything here works well... Not the place to start a Wolf collection by any means, but a great place to end up".
