1	The Definitive Collection (2007) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf At six foot three and 270 pounds, Chester Burnett was a bear of a man, but his voice, rough and harsh as broken Delta glass, was what really gave him dimension. A powerful blues shouter out of the Charley Patton mold, Burnett (or Howlin' Wolf, as he came to be known) brought a feral fire to his vocals that made him sound like a gale force ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $13.34!
2	Howlin' Wolf/Moanin' in the Moonlight (1986) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Howlin' Wolf's first and second Chess albums are essential listening of the highest order. They were compiled -- as were all early blues albums -- from various single sessions (not necessarily a bad thing, either), and blues fans will probably debate endlessly about which of the two albums is the perfect introduction to his music. But this CD ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.34!
3	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
4	The Chess Box (1991) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This three-CD box set currently rates as the best -- and most digestible -- overview of Howlin' Wolf's career. Disc one starts with the Memphis sides that eventually brought him to the label, including hits like "How Many More Years," but also compiling unissued sides that had previously only been available on vinyl bootlegs of dubious origin and ... see all copies from $36.77! new only from $37.35!
5	The Back Door Wolf (1973) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This, Wolf's last hurrah, is his final studio album. Cut with his regular working band, the Wolf Gang, everything here works well, despite Detroit Junior's annoying use of harpsichord on several tracks. Highlights include Eddie Shaw's "Coon on the Moon," Wolf's own "Moving" and "Stop Using Me," and both takes of "Speak Now Woman." Not the place to ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $5.04!
6	The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions [Bonus Tracks] (1971) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Too many rock superstars. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.49! new only from $7.34!
7	Chess Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $52.23!
8	Blues Masters, Vol. 4: Harmonica Classics (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Vol. 4: Harmonica Classics is a typically ace installment of the Blues Masters series has examples par excellence from most of the major electric blues harmonica geniuses, including Little Walter, Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Billy Boy Arnold, Lazy Lester, and Jimmy Reed. And while there are a few expected ... see all copies from $6.96! new only from $10.76!
9	The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions [Deluxe Edition] (2003) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $18.23! new only from $22.41!
10	The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $20.03!
11 view cover	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from $21.41! new only from $22.26!
12 view cover	Chess Blues Classics: 1957-1967 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This second volume of a two-volume entry in MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary reissue series chronicles the second decade of blues classics produced by the landmark company. Although Chess' big four (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson) are all finely represented, influential sides by Elmore James ("Madison Blues"), Otis ... see all copies from $6.33! new only from $8.66!
13 view cover	The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead (1995) more music like this by Various Artists An interesting concept: a compilation of the original versions of 17 songs frequently covered by The Grateful Dead in concert. Thoughtfully assembled, it showcases several aspects of their eclectic roots, encompassing jug band folk, country & western, Appalachian mountain music, country blues, '50s Chicago electric blues, R&B, Dylan, Guthrie, ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $8.00!
14 view cover	The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues (2002) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf The Real Folk Blues series on Chess wasn't really folk, but titled that way, perhaps to gain the attention of young white listeners who had started to get turned on to the blues during the 1960s folk revival. And the Howlin' Wolf volumes in the series were not particularly more folk-oriented than his other Chess recordings, but more or less ... see all copies from $6.91! new only from $13.34!
15 view cover	His Best (1997) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf With the exception of a vinyl compilation issued in the early '80s (His Greatest Sides, Vol. 1), there'd never really ever been a single-disc Howlin' Wolf best-of package available. That all changed with this entry in MCA/Chess' 50th Anniversary series, a 20-track retrospective that serves as the perfect introduction to the man and his music, some ... see all copies from $8.13! new only from $20.59!
16 view cover	The Super Super Blues Band (1968) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf w/ Muddy Waters & Bo Diddley Featuring Bo Diddley stubbing his toe on a wah-wah pedal, Wolf and Muddy clearly ill at ease trying to sing songs they don't know and a super annoying female chorus giving out banshee shrieks approximately every 45 seconds, this is one very chaotic, untogether super session to try and wade through. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.20! new only from $4.65!
17 view cover	Anthology (2007) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $9.00! new only from $24.79!
18 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 16: More Harmonica Classics (1998) more music like this by Various Artists With such a wealth of great harmonica blues out there, and with such an outstanding track record on Rhino's part in general when it comes to historical compilations, it's no surprise that their second anthology of harmonica blues is just as good as the first. There are fine cuts by many big guns here, including Little Walter, both Sonny Boy ... see all copies from $8.15! new only from $13.09!
19 view cover	Evidence Blues Sampler: Six (1998) more music like this by Various Artists For Evidence Blues Sampler: Six, the modern blues'n'jazz label doesn't alter the approach of their samplers much -- they still mix up the modern with the classic reissues. However, they do tip the scales a little bit toward the newer side of things, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it gives the album more cohesion than other volumes. ... see all copies from $2.89! new only from $2.89!
20 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 6: Blues Originals (1993) more music like this by Various Artists It's unfortunate, but it's true: the original versions of many blues classics aren't nearly as well known as their hit covers by (usually white) rock groups. That's not to say that some of these covers aren't great as well, but it's both educational and enjoyable to hear them from the source's mouth. Blues Originals contains 18 original versions ... see all copies from $10.98!
21 view cover	Hot Rods & Custom Classics (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This is certainly one of Rhino's more elaborate box set offerings, no mere four-disc set of car songs, not by a long shot. It comes housed in a Revel Authentic Kit-sized box that also holds a bound booklet designed to look like the cover of Hot Rod magazine, an accompanying Mooneyes mini-catalog, window adhesive hot rod stickers, a set of fuzzy ... see all copies from $72.23! new only from $72.23!
22 view cover	Living the Blues [Time-Life Inc.] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Leave it to the venerable Time-Life Inc. to release a great grand-daddy among blues compilations, featuring genuine (and often inexplicably ignored) hardcore blues artists, presenting some of their best but not necessarily well-circulated songs. The scholarship here is all about diversity among very good examples: there are no soft anomalies or ... see all copies from $29.98! new only from $29.98!
23 view cover	Best of the Blues [Box] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.25! new only from $7.34!
24 view cover	Smokin' Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Smokin' Blues collects nine blues tracks from John Lee Hooker, Little Milton, Bobby Bland, and Little Walter at a budget price. B.B. King's "Into the Night," Muddy Waters' "Love Weapon," Etta James' "Next Door to the Blues," and Howlin' Wolf's "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy" are some of the highlights from this brief but undeniably affordable blues ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Rockin' the Blues Live in Germany (2003) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Rockin' the Blues Live in Germany 1964 is still one of the few essential unauthorized live performances by Howlin' Wolf to emerge. Unlike Chess Records' own Wolf concert disc, Live and Cookin' at Alice's, cut more than a half-decade later, there are no apologies or explanations needed here over the late date of the recording in his career. This is ... see all copies from $5.57! new only from $6.47!
