The Definitive Collection

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 ...

Live in San Francisco, 1966

Live in San Francisco, 1966 (2002) more music like this

by Big Brother & the Holding Company

Recorded on July 28, 1966, before the band had cut any studio material, this performance was one of Janis Joplin's first gigs with Big Brother. The sound is decent, with several famous staples of their repertoire already in place: "Down on Me," "Coo-Coo," and "Ball and Chain." Yet, in comparison with their best studio and live recordings from 1967 ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Howlin' Wolf

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; ...

Recorded on July 28, 1966, before the band had cut any studio material, this performance was one of Janis Joplin's first gigs with Big Brother. The sound is decent, with several famous staples of their repertoire already in place -- "Down on Me," "Coo-Coo," "Ball and Chain..." Big Brother were never noted for their polish, but made up for that ...

1951-1952 (2003) more music like this

by Howlin' Wolf

While there are numerous Howlin' Wolf compilations and anthologies available that trace his extraordinary career, the 25-track 1951-1952 compilation from the French Classics label focuses on Wolf's crucial early Memphis sessions. Recorded for Sam Phillips in 1951 and 1952 prior to Wolf's move to Chicago, each track is raw, passionate, and ...

Wolf Is at Your Door

Wolf Is at Your Door (1992) more music like this

by Howlin' Wolf

Although his tenure with Willie Dixon at Chess Studios is what made him a star, Howlin' Wolf's short-lived association with Ike Turner, Sam Phillips, and Sun Studios in the early '50s produced some of the most powerful and raucous music ever recorded. (Muddy Waters' first electric recordings are downright tame in comparison.) The Wolf Is at Your ...

A Proper Introduction to Howlin' Wolf: Memphis Days (2004) more music like this

by Howlin' Wolf

The single disc, 25-track Proper Introduction to Howlin' Wolf anthology traces, in condensed form, Howlin' Wolf's seminal recordings at Sun Studios in Memphis. While other compilations have focused on exhaustively presenting all of the recordings Wolf did for Sun and Chess, and other single discs have picked one label or the other, Proper has ...

Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: The Road to Memphis

Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: The Road to Memphis (2003) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Filmmaker Richard Pearce's documentary The Road to Memphis, one of the seven films included in the PBS-TV series The Blues presented by Martin Scorsese, nominally follows the career of B.B. King, but in a more general sense it is an examination of the blues and R&B music of Memphis. This focus is even more pronounced on the soundtrack album, on ...

Great (1998) more music like this

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 ...

Jimi Hendrix's Jukebox (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although these 25 tracks recorded between 1941 and 1956 may well have inspired Jimi Hendrix in his early years, they also inspired a whole lot of other people as well, since every one of these sides is a classic and, taken together, they make for a nice and diverse "jukebox" in almost anyone's name. Included here are immortal cuts like Elmore ...
