Wolf Records International GmbH, Schöngrabern

Wolf Records is an Austrian record label based in Vienna. Simply its emphasis is the blues. Today where nearly every second rate “pop star wanna be” attempts to incorporate the blues the need for a true representative of this music existed. The story of Wolf Records began in 1974, as 20 daring Austrian blues fans founded the Vienna Blues Fan Club (Mozart, too, would have rolled over!). Hungry for the blues played by the original artists, the club had enticed many of the blues favorites to Austria. Through 1981 the likes of J. B. Hutto, Honeyboy Edwards, Eddie Taylor, Louis Myers, Homesick James, Snooky Pryor, Brewer Philips, Ted Harvey, Detroit Junior, Houston Stackhouse and Henry Townsend had come to play their specialty.
