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 ...

The Chess Box

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 ...

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 -- ...

Rockin' the Blues Live in Germany

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 ...

88th Street Blues

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

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 ...

Change My Way
(1975)
more music like this
by
Howlin' Wolf
Originally compiled and issued in 1975 as a vinyl album in the original Chess Blues Masters Series, this 19-tracker is some of Wolf's best middle-period (1959-1963) material. Surprisingly, many of the tracks were cut in stereo and their appearance on compact disc does much to enhance their sonic ambience. Although some of this material surfaces on ...

Blues Biography
(2008)

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. ...

Great

by
Howlin' Wolf
Chester 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 hurricane in front of the microphone. But he was far from a loose cannon. He had remarkable control over that voice, and it shows in this selection, although it is a wee bit on the brief and random side. The various ...
