This biography--the first complete life of Wolf--provides an outsized portrait of the man who was born in poverty as Chester Arthur Burnett, detailing his rise through the blues clubs of Memphis and Chicago to become an international star, and one of the most popular blues singers ever. Interviewing musicians, family, wives, girlfriends, and friends, the authors cover his painful childhood, his early years, his rivalry with Muddy Waters, his marriages, and his recordings. They also document his influences--chiefly, Charley Patton and Sonny Boy Williamson--as well as his own immense influence on musicians like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, and Ringo Starr. With an introduction by B.B. King and a large collection of photos old and new, MOANIN' AT MIDNIGHT is the definitive work on a larger-than-life musical legend.. First Edition, First Printing.
