Hubert Sumlin was taken with the great Blues players he heard, including Charlie Patton, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. He had his first encounter with the legendary Howlin' Wolf at the age of 10. A few years later, Wolf brought Sumlin to Chicago where he contributed to some of the most powerful Blues the world has known. Sumlin has gone on to record as both a leader and a sideman with everyone from The Rolling Stones to Elvis Costello and Santana. His 2005 release About Them Shoes garnered a 2006 GRAMMY nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album.
