Howlin Wolf, Barbecue and the Baby Jesus

In his book Pig Perfect: Some Encounters with Remarkable Swine and Some Great Ways to Cook Them Peter Kaminsky offers this remarkable observation about Ed Mitchell's product:

"The soggy bun -- mooshy from the sauce and slaw -- helps the barbecue slide down your gullet, like Howlin Wolf once said 'like Baby Jesus in satin pants.'"

And yet, no footnote or reference. I hereby offer a free babecue dinner to anyone who can find the song or interview where Howlin Wolf said that. I must know.
