By going through Stefan Grossman related websites I came upon this site where Grossman presents short audio features of famous Bluesmen. I am a big fan of Delta Blues and I started with Charley Patton. So Grossman started with Patton's famous 'Spoonfull' Blues and spoke then about the relation with Howlin Wolf , who had listened to Patton as a teenager. And when he played Wolf's version of Spoonfull I was baffled too which extent Beefheart had "adapted" Wolfs howlin'/singin' style. Grossman played then the more obvious version of the Cream.
