James Yancy Jones, known as the Tail Dragger, is a long-time disciple of Howlin' Wolf. In fact, the Wolf gave James the moniker "Tail Dragger" emanating from one of the Wolf's now-classic songs. The Tail Dragger followed Wolf from club- to-club, watching and getting pointers from the larger-than-life Howlin' Wolf for more than 20 years. The Wolf allowed "The Dragger" to perform his blues while Wolf took a break on weekend shows. Soon, "The Dragger" was playing his own numerous club dates on the West and South Sides of Chicago.
