Samantha Fish - Black Wind Howlin

Samantha Fish - Black Wind Howlin’ is a fiery blues-rock powerhouse that doesn't just knock—it kicks the door in.

Released in 2013, this album marked Samantha Fish’s bold leap forward, showcasing her searing guitar skills and smoky, soulful voice. Tracks like “Lay It Down,” “Miles To Go,” and the gripping title track “Black Wind Howlin’” deliver the kind of grit and groove that make this record impossible to ignore.

Backed by a full-throttle band and produced by Mike Zito, this sophomore album blends raw blues with Southern swagger and a touch of garage-rock energy. There’s attitude in every riff, and Samantha commands every track like she was born with a Telecaster in hand. Whether she’s burning down a solo or letting her vocals simmer with emotion, the intensity never wavers.

The album balances originals with a couple of cleverly chosen covers, including a gritty take on Howlin’ Wolf’s “Who’s Been Talkin’.” It's clear Samantha isn’t just paying homage to blues legends—she’s positioning herself right alongside them.

For vinyl lovers, this pressing is the perfect way to experience the album’s analog heat. It's a must-have for fans of modern blues with teeth—raw, rowdy, and ridiculously good. Go ahead and turn the volume way up. Samantha Fish didn’t come to play nice—she came to howl.
