Frank Zappa
Interviewed in The Midnight Special (30 January 1976), introduced by Wolfman Jack, Zappa talked about his youth in the 1950s: "The guitar heroes of those days were Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, and, uh, whoever that guy was, that was playing the good stuff on Howlin' Wolf records. I believe it was Hubert Sumlin, but one can't be sure when one lives in Lancaster, California." [1]
"Other examples of good guitar stuff from that era might include (...) the work of Hubert Sumlin (...) on Howlin' Wolf's things. I'm sure there are other hot items, but this is a short article." - Frank Zappa in Frank Zappa On... The '80s Guitar Clone, January 1987.
