He was eleven years old when he met blues legend Howlin' Wolf from Chicago. The massive fellow took lovingly care of the kid and told him to listen to the music of Charlie Patton and Son House, if he wanted to play the blues himself. Many years later, in 1999, the Linden-produced 'Tribute To Howlin' Wolf' album was be nominated for a Grammy award. On his new CrossCut album, 'Still Live', Colin is dedicating a song to the man who had an important effect on him.
