1	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 $8.54! new only from $20.59!
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 $11.64! new only from $11.64!
3	Legendary Blues Recordings: Howlin' Wolf (2001) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.70!
4	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 ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
5	88th Street Blues (1995) more music like this by Smokey Wilson The barbed-wire vocals and slashing guitar of Mississippi-bred Smokey Wilson blend well with harpist Rod Piazza and company on this 1983 set first out on Murray Bros. Records. Not quite as stunning as his more recent work for Bullseye Blues, but definitely has some incendiary moments. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
6	Hot Tracks (1979) more music like this by John Hammond In September of 1979, John Hammond went into Vanguard Records' 23rd Street Studio in New York with the Nighthawks -- Jimmy Thackeray, guitar; Mark Wenner, harmonica; Jan Zukowski, bass; Pete Ragusa, drums -- and cut this record, one of his best (and which might've sold better with maybe some better cover art). The sounds are alternately hot and ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
7	Blue Bird (1994) more music like this by Jimmy Rogers This was Jimmy Rogers' last "proper" Chicago blues album, and it deservedly won a W.C. Handy Award in 1995. There are no moonlighting rock stars here; they would come out in droves for Rogers' subsequent album Blues Blues Blues. And with the exception of the last track -- which is basically pianist Johnnie Johnson showing off for eight minutes -- ... see all copies from $12.35! new only from $17.79!
8	Live Tonite! (2002) more music like this by The Nighthawks In 2002, the Nighthawks celebrated their 30th anniversary. The Chicago-minded blues-rock outfit had not changed very much over the years; the Nighthawks of the early 2000s didn't sound much different from the Nighthawks of the early '70s. A collection of live performances from 2001, Live Tonite! makes no attempt to reinvent the blues-rock wheel -- ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $17.23!
9	Big City Blues (1995) more music like this by Sue Foley see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	The Sea Saint Sessions (2003) more music like this by Tab Benoit Tab Benoit's third album in just over two years (including his collaboration with Jimmy Thackery) is, like his previous few releases, a loose and homey affair. Recorded at the titular New Orleans studio and featuring Crescent City guests Cyril Neville and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, along with funky Meters Brian Stoltz and George Porter sitting in ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
11 view cover	Door to Door (With Albert King) (1970) more music like this by Otis Rush Although Albert King is pictured on the front cover and has the lion's share of tracks on this excellent compilation, six of the fourteen tracks come from Rush's shortlived tenure with the label and are some of his very best. Chronologically, these are his next recordings after the Cobra sides and they carry a lot of the emotional wallop of those ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $12.86!
12 view cover	I Feel Like Goin' On (2003) more music like this by Ronnie Earl Guitarist Ronnie Earl recorded the majority of the instrumental release I Feel Like Goin' On live in the studio with no overdubbing. As one of the best contemporary blues guitarists around, Earl naturally shows off his prowess on these 11 cuts, with sturdy assistance from Dave Limina on piano/organ, Jimmy Mouradian on bass, Lorne Entress on drums, ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $14.78!
13 view cover	I Know You (1998) more music like this by Hubert Sumlin This is arguably the first musically indispensable album that Hubert Sumlin has done since Howlin' Wolf died some 23 years ago. That isn't to say that he hasn't done some good albums before this, just that I Know You has a degree of urgency, coupled with remarkable ease, that makes it a real delight. The result is a record that compares very ... see all copies from $19.20! new only from $19.20!
14 view cover	Blind Pig Sampler: Prime Chops, Vol. 3 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.43! new only from $9.43!
15 view cover	The Blues Anthology (2005) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $9.97! new only from $9.97!
16 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $21.25! new only from $21.25!
17 view cover	If It Ain't One Thing It's Another (2002) more music like this by Easy Baby see all copies from $14.83! new only from $14.83!
18 view cover	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 $10.35! new only from $10.35!
19 view cover	The Best of Howlin' Wolf [Master Classic] (2004) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
20 view cover	Rockin' the Blues (1996) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Collectables could probably do a better job of selling this nine-song CD if they'd indicate somewhere on the outside that it's a live performance from Germany in 1964. That puts it about seven years nearer to Wolf's prime than Chess's official live album (At Alice's Revisited) and makes this 1996 release an indispensable part of any serious blues ... see all copies from $3.33!
21 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!
22 view cover	Gold Collection [Retro] (2000) more music like this by Muddy Waters & Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $20.00!
23 view cover	A Salute to the Chicago Blues Masters (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $47.74! new only from $47.74!
24 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 $6.47! new only from $6.47!
25 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 $3.91! new only from $3.91!
