COMMENTS:  rec. 10/2/51  W. Memphis  "Smokestack Lightning", in one form or another, "had been part of his [Wolf's] repertoire as far back as the early 1930s" when he was performing with Charley Patton in small Delta communities.The song, called "a hypnotic one-chord drone piece" draws on earlier blues, such as Tommy Johnson's "Big Road Blues" (1928 Victor 21279), the Mississippi Sheiks' "Stop and Listen Blues" (1930 OKeh 8807), and Charley Patton's "Moon Going Down" (1930 Paramount 13014).[3] Wolf said the song was inspired by watching trains in the night: "We used to sit out in the country and see the trains go by, watch the sparks come out of the smokestack. That was smokestack lightning." In 1951, Howlin' Wolf recorded the song as "Crying at Daybreak" (RPM 340).
