1	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 $3.44! new only from $7.34!
2	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 $12.86! new only from $12.86!
3	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 $36.61! new only from $36.61!
4	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 $6.99! new only from $7.52!
5	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 $9.86! new only from $9.86!
6	The Best of Howlin' Wolf [Master Classic] (2004) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $8.47! new only from $8.47!
7	Legendary Blues Recordings: Howlin' Wolf (2001) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.70!
8	A Tribute to Howlin' Wolf (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Unlike most tribute albums, Telarc's A Tribute to Howlin' Wolf plays it pretty close to the vest, rounding up members of Wolf's backing band -- including guitarist Hubert Sumlin, pianist Henry Gray and drummer Sam Lay -- to support the musicians paying tribute. As a result, the album has a more coherent sound than most tribute records, but that ... see all copies from $9.36! new only from $9.36!
9	The Blues Anthology (2005) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $8.46! new only from $8.46!
10	The Real Folk Blues (1966) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This was originally released by Chess in 1966 to capitalize on the then-current folk music boom. The music, however -- a collection of Howlin' Wolf singles from 1956 to 1966 -- is full-blown electric, featuring a nice sampling of Wolf originals with a smattering of Willie Dixon tunes. Some of the man's best middle period work is aboard here; ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $79.74!
11 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Howlin' Wolf (2003) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf While this 12-track collection of Howlin' Wolf's prime Chess material is classic electric blues music, it's a distinctly less worthy deal than the 20-track His Best. The latter anthology has the classic "How Many More Years," "Howlin' for My Darling," "Shake for Me," and "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy," none of which make it onto this briefer scoop; ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!
12 view cover	Music from the Canyon (1999) more music like this by The Rey-Nichols Shovelhead Band Since the Rey-Nichols Shovelhead Band's debut album Music from the Canyon contains a number of blues standards peppered with a few original songs, it would be easy to think that's a straight-ahead, unremarkable blues-rock album. It is true that the album feels like the work of journeymen, but they manage to inject enough passion into the right ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Masters (1998) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf If you're expecting these to be Wolf's celebrated Chess recordings, guess again. Despite the hyperbole in the title, what this 16-tracker offers instead is a package divided evenly between tracks from 1971's London Howlin' Wolf Sessions -- a session so uninspired that Eric Clapton has frequently disparaged his participation on it -- and a live ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.75!
14 view cover	Demon Drivin' Blues Man (1991) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $5.62! new only from $5.62!
15 view cover	Highway 49 & Other Classics (1996) more music like this by Howlin Wolf Not a bad collection of songs by any means, but most, if not all, can be found on more complete collections. Not a bad starter for someone looking for an inexpensive introduction to Wolf's music, as it includes "Ain't Superstitious," "Killing Floor," "Red Rooster," and "Highway 49" among others. Hardcore fans would probably want to invest their ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $3.99!
16 view cover	London Howlin' Wolf Sessions (1971) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $9.99! new only from $68.19!
17 view cover	The Collection (2000) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Though there are countless others, this is a pretty neat little compilation of Howlin' Wolf's best moments from various points in his career. Containing 18 tracks for a budget price, many of the true classics are here, from "Evil" and "Smokestack Lightning" to "Spoonful" and "Back Door Man." There are also a coupe of surprises that don't usually ... see all copies from $12.19! new only from $12.19!
18	Howlin' Wolf more music like this by Howlin Wolf see all copies from $19.99! new only from $19.99!
19 view cover	Blues Biography (2008) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf A very suspect collection of mostly live Howlin' Wolf recordings from the '50s and '60s with some studio fare tossed in for grins. The performances are awesome, but the sound quality ranges from good to nearly awful. The price, though, makes this attractive for collectors and anyone infected with the Wolf virus -- you can never get enough anyway. ... see all copies from $3.97! new only from $3.97!
20 view cover	The Gold Collection (1992) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $24.22!
