About "Smokestack Lightnin'" by Big Head Todd And The Monsters
A cover of the Howlin' Wolf classic, this 'Smokestack Lightnin'' trades Delta menace for bar-band swagger. The riff chugs like a freight train, while Todd Park Mohr's vocal struts with knowing cool. It's a tribute that respects the source but lets the amps breathe, turning a blues standard into a sweaty, rocksteady stomp.
