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 ...

In the Natural State (2006) more music like this

by Jimmy Thackery & the Cate Brothers

Jimmy Thackery has been delivering his own brand of blue-collar hard-edged blues-tinged rock for some 40 years now, led by his sharp, emotive guitar style, and while nobody would accuse him of being a singer's singer, his quavering vocal approach is surprisingly effective in an everyman kind of way. In the Natural State pairs Thackery with the ...

The Complete Vanguard Recordings and More (2001) more music like this

by Siegel-Schwall Band

Is a three-CD set of the Siegel-Schwall Band -- including all four of their Vanguard albums (spanning 1966-1970) in their entirety, along with six previously unissued cuts -- too much to take at once? In a word, yes. If you're a blues-rock history nut, though -- and there must be some such listeners out there -- it is a handy collection that ...

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 ...

Power Blues (1997) more music like this

by J.B. Ritchie

Chicago blues guitarist J.B. Ritchie revisits his roots on Power Blues, paying tribute to the masters of the genre, including Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Willie Dixon, and Howlin Wolf. His gritty slide work is complimented by drummer Marty Binder and bassist Frank Bandy (aka Right Hand Frank). Ritchie retains that inspired Chicago blues sound on ...

Lion's Share (1972) more music like this

by Savoy Brown

"Shot in the Head," the slide guitar showcase that opens this solid set, became a staple of this veteran English band's live act. In his only full-time stint as singer for demanding bandleader Kim Simmonds, Dave Walker proves a serviceable, if unremarkable, successor to Chris Youlden. Besides their own tunes, the lads cover Howlin' Wolf and Little ...

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 ...

Early Steppenwolf/For Ladies Only (2005) more music like this

by Steppenwolf

Finally, BGO completes its Steppenwolf reissue program with this double disc. The second disc is For Ladies Only, which is negligible at best. But it's disc one that counts, with the reemergence of Early Steppenwolf, which was recorded in 1967 at San Francisco's Matrix. The band was actually called the Sparrow when this set was recorded, but the ...

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 ...

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. ...
