That was an interesting man.
I'm a big Wolf fan. Here's an interesting tidbit on HW from Wikipedia:
Though functionally illiterate into his 40s, Burnett eventually returned to school, first to earn a General Educational Development (GED), and later to study accounting and other business courses aimed to help his business career.
Thanks to his financial acumen, Wolf did not live or die in poverty, as so many other blues men did. Moreover, he was known for treating his band members well, paying them on time, and providing health insurance (!) and other benefits.
Just an awesome guy all the way around, one of the Gods of the blues straight up.
