1	Howlin' Wolf/Moanin' in the Moonlight (1986) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Howlin' Wolf's first and second Chess albums are essential listening of the highest order. They were compiled -- as were all early blues albums -- from various single sessions (not necessarily a bad thing, either), and blues fans will probably debate endlessly about which of the two albums is the perfect introduction to his music. But this CD ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $8.66!
2	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 $12.24! new only from $18.22!
3	Chess Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $54.90!
4	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 $12.44! new only from $12.44!
5	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 $8.66! new only from $8.66!
6	The Memphis Days: Definitive Edition, Vol. 2 (1990) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf The second volume in this series collects up all the known Memphis recordings that were either issued or originally offered to Chess. As such, it stands as a marvelous collection of Wolf's early 78s for that label. But what truly puts it over is the added bonus of a newly discovered acetate featuring several unissued versions of "How Many More ... see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
7	Blues Masters, Vol. 12: Memphis Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Memphis Blues documents the rough and tumble growth of a genre called the blues on a street called Beale in the late '20s and into the early '50s. There are selections from two of the best early jug bands -- the Memphis Jug Band and Cannon's Jug Stompers -- along with cuts from familiar figures like Memphis Minnie and Fury Lewis. Following ... see all copies from $34.26!
8	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 ... see all copies from $21.15! new only from $21.15!
9	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 ... see all copies from $17.05! new only from $17.05!
10	Bluesmaster (1996) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Howlin' Wolf was certainly a master of the blues, and MCA Special Products' Bluesmaster, thankfully, does offer some evidence proving why that's an acknowledged fact, not simply a matter of opinion. Granted, a ten-track budget-line collection could hardly be called definitive, but this collection is nevertheless a good sampler, largely because it ... see all copies from $5.19! new only from $5.19!
11 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $6.44! new only from $6.44!
12 view cover	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 $37.88! new only from $37.88!
13 view cover	The Gold Collection (1992) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $24.22!
14 view cover	The Sun Records Collection (1994) more music like this by Various Artists There have been a lot of Sun compilations over the years; this three-CD, 74-song compilation strikes the medium ground between abridged single-disc highlights and overkill ten-album box sets. What this means is that you get virtually all the key sides of this vastly influential blues, country, and rockabilly label, including the biggest Sun hits ... see all copies from $11.16! new only from $11.16!
15 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
16 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $15.42! new only from $15.42!
