Wolf Pack

The Wolf Pack were probably a pseudonym for the Animals. There was one song billed to the Wolf Pack, "We're Gonna Howl," that appeared on a compilation album on ABC-Paramount called The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood. Liner notes to subsequent discs on which the track has been included theorize or intimate that this was a soundtrack; according to the liner notes of <a href="spotify:artist:3ICflSq6ZgYAIrm2CTkfVP">the Animals</a>' Animalistic bootleg, it was from a show broadcast on ABC TV on November 28, 1965. At any rate, it certainly sounds like <a href="spotify:artist:3ICflSq6ZgYAIrm2CTkfVP">the Animals</a>. It's a brief tune that sounds more like an elongated chorus that a thought-out song, but it's a decent rip-roaring R&B number with fine barroom blues piano and a singer that definitely sounds like <a href="spotify:artist:3miNucraVWk4hdVsIxn7id">Eric Burdon</a>. The track can be found on AIP's English Freakbeat Vol. 2 compilation of British Invasion R&B rarities, and also on the aforementioned Animalistic bootleg. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
