Under the pseudonym Howlin' Wilf, the artist now known as James Hunter shows that he was always a great singer on this, his debut LP from 1986 - a natural.

Camden Town in the mid-80s fancied itself as a mini Harlem, as a bunch of new bands playing old tunes sprung up around the clubs. Leading the way without a doubt was Howlin’ Wilf and his Vee Jays. With the stunning platinum blond, Dot on second guitar, and a proper stand-up bass slapping out a fat bottom end, the Vee-Jays could rock’n’roll and play rhythm and blues, all at the same time without dropping a beat. When they weren’t featuring in a hot and sweaty club they could be found busking, such was the enthusiasm for getting the word out - and making a bob or two along the way.

Personnel: Howlin' Wilf (James Hunter) (vocals, harmonica, guitar); Stilts McGregor (drums, backing vocals, saucepan); T-Box Tone (string bass); Dot (guitar).
