Walter “Wolfman” Washington, whose soulful voice, crisp guitar lines and toothy smile lit up New Orleans nightlife for 60 years, died Thursday at Passages Hospice of cancer. He had turned 79 on Dec. 20.
The sharp-dressed Washington often flashed a wolfish grin as he and his Roadmasters, the quintessential New Orleans bar band, delivered a sophisticated, air-tight synthesis of blues, funk, R&B and soul. He punctuated songs with his trademark howl.

This one really hurts. I used to catch Wolf at the Maple Leaf when I I used to come in town when I lived away. He was one of my all time favorites.
Just a very solid guitar player and the Roadmasters were a tight band. Think I'll have a bourbon, neat, in his honor.
