I just heard Hubert Sumlin died at 80. What are your favorite Hubert Sumlin songs?

That's a shame. Most of that generation is gone now. See the ones that are left while you can. I know Hubert recorded a great deal on his own, but it's his seminal work with Wolf that will be his legacy. Here's some of the best-

The blues world has lost another link to the past. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him 43rd on the magazine's list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time. He was the lead guitarist for Howlin' Wolf from 1953 until Wolf's death in 1976, lending his searing guitar to such classics as "Smokestack Lightning," "Spoonful," "Ain't Superstitious" and my personal favorite "Killing Floor"

I recommend his 2005 Grammy-nominated CD "About Them Shoes"
