Original Song
"I Ain't Superstitious" is a mid-tempo stop-time blues song that does not follow the typical chord progression. The song "is not merely an electric version of the blues practiced in the Delta; it is something wholly new, a more aggressive and sophisticated Chicago cousin that acknowledges contemporary jazz, R&B, and pop forms".
Backing Wolf (vocal and guitar) are Henry Gray (piano), Hubert Sumlin and Jimmy Rogers (guitars), Sam Lay (drums), and Willie Dixon (upright bass). "I Ain't Superstitious" is included on several Howlin' Wolf compilation albums, including the 1969 Chess album Evil.

“He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.”

“I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.”
—Billie Holiday (1915–1959)
