Hubert Sumlin is an international blues celbrity in his own right, performing around the world and even sitting in with the house band for Saturday Night Live; but he'll probably always be best remembered as the guitarist who helped create the Howlin' Wolf sound during Worf's Chicago heyday in the 1950-'s and early 60's.
As Wolf was Hubert's musical father, so today does Bill Hickey think of Hubert as a musical father. Bill was born and raised in Chicago, where he played with the likes of Eddie Taylor, Jimmy Rogers, and harmonica virtuoso Big Walter Horton. From its earliest days the blues has been handed down from mentor to disciple; Big Bill Hickey's relationship with Hubert Sumlin assures us that Sumlin's legacy is in good hands.
