Lucille took me from the plantation. Oh, and you might say, brought me fame. I don't think I could just talk enough about Lucille. Sometimes when I'm blue, it seems like Lucille try to help me call my name. I used to sing spirituals and I thought that this was a thing that I wanted to do. But somehow or other when I went in the army, I picked up on Lucille and started singing the flutes. Well, now when I'm paying my dues, maybe you don't know what I mean when I say paying the dues. I mean when things are bad with me. I can always, I can always, you know, like uh depend on Lucille. Sort of hard to talk to you myself. I guess I'll let Lucille say a few words and then you know, I doubt if you can feel it like I do. But when I think about the things that I've gone through, like, well for instance, if I have a girlfriend and she misuses me, and I go home at night, maybe I'm lonely. Well, not maybe I am lonely. I pick up blue seals and it bring out those funny sounds that sound good to me, you know. Sometimes I get to the place where I can't even say nothing. Sammy Davis Jr. I don't think I still could do it. Lucille don't want to play nothing but the blues. I think I'm I think I'm pretty glad about that. Sing Lucille. Well, I put it like this. Take it easy, Lucille. I like the way Sammy sings, and I like the way Frank sings. But I can get a little Frank, Sammy, a little Rachel, in fact, all the people with soul in this. Lucille has practically saved my life two or three times. No kidding, it really has. I remember once I was in an automobile accident, and when the car started turning over, it fell over on Lucille. And it held it up off of me. Really? It held it up off of me. So that's one time it saved my life. But the way the way I uh came by the name of Lucille, I was over in Twist, Arkansas. I know you've never heard of that one, have you? And one night, the guy started a ball over there, you know, it started growling, you know what I mean. And the guy that was mad with this old lady, when she fell over on this gas tank that was burning for heat, the gas ran all over the floor. And when the gas ran all over the floor, the building caught on fire, it almost burned me up trying to save Lucille. Oh, oh, I uh I imagine you're still wondering why I call it Lucille. The lady that started that drawl that night was named Lucille. And that's been Lucille ever since to me. One more now, Lucille.

MCA released several outstanding compilations of classic blues and RB sides from the Chess Records catalog in the Chess Box series. The Highland Wolf box is the second in the series to win Blues Hall of Fame recognition following the selection of the Muddy Water set. It is also the sixth Hall of Fame compilation by Wolf, and in fact, is loaded with songs also issued on the previous five, along with some previously unreleased gems. It kicks off with the seminal 1951 recording of Moanin' at Midnight and proceeds chronologically through 1973 with the performances time and again bristling with the raw power and primal force that only Wolf possessed. Released on a 5LP vinyl set for his three cassettes or CDs, the 71 tracks in the box include some insightful and entertaining spoken snippets from Wolf, recalling, among his stories, how angry he once was that he could not escape the nickname Howl and Wolf.
