1	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!
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 $12.87! new only from $17.64!
3	The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions [Bonus Tracks] (1971) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Too many rock superstars. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.70! new only from $8.24!
4	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 $52.26!
5	The Real Folk Blues/More Real Folk Blues (2002) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf The Real Folk Blues series on Chess wasn't really folk, but titled that way, perhaps to gain the attention of young white listeners who had started to get turned on to the blues during the 1960s folk revival. And the Howlin' Wolf volumes in the series were not particularly more folk-oriented than his other Chess recordings, but more or less ... see all copies from $11.64! new only from $11.64!
6	History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice) [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by The Grateful Dead This 1973 release was the very last collection that the Grateful Dead authorized during their tenure with Warner Bros. in the late '60s and early '70s. However, this live disc was a sort of melancholy affair, as it centered on material featuring Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (guitar/vocals/mouth harp), who had left the band due to illness in June of the ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
7	Live and Cookin' at Alice's Revisited (1972) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf A compact-disc reissue of Wolf's 1972 live album with the addition of two stellar bonus cuts. The first one, "Big House," first showed up on a hodgepodge Wolf bootleg album from the '70s. Its non-appearance on the original abum is somewhat of a mystery since it's arguably one of the best performances here. Set at a medium tempo, Wolf stretches out ... see all copies from $11.99! new only from $44.00!
8	The Jack Bruce Collector’s Edition (2005) more music like this by Jack Bruce Unlike previous Jack Bruce compilations such as At His Best, Willpower, and The Collection, The Jack Bruce Collector's Edition is not drawn from Bruce's Polydor/ATCO/RSO recordings of the late '60s and '70s. Rather, it chronicles his recordings for the German CMP label in the 1980s and early '90s. This is still the Jack Bruce familiar to Cream ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
9	I Feel Free: Ultimate Cream (2005) more music like this by Cream see all copies from $27.59! new only from $27.59!
10	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 $9.09! new only from $9.09!
11 view cover	Acoustic Crossroads (2005) more music like this by Boundary Water Boys see all copies from $11.69! new only from $11.69!
12 view cover	The Real Folk Blues (1966) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf This was originally released by Chess in 1966 to capitalize on the then-current folk music boom. The music, however -- a collection of Howlin' Wolf singles from 1956 to 1966 -- is full-blown electric, featuring a nice sampling of Wolf originals with a smattering of Willie Dixon tunes. Some of the man's best middle period work is aboard here; ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $36.40!
13 view cover	Gold (2005) more music like this by Cream There has been no shortage of Cream compilations over the years -- as a matter of fact, they far outnumber the group's actual albums, of which there were merely four (true, they were recorded during an insanely productive two-year lifespan) -- but 2005's Gold is arguably the best of the lot. Released as part of Universal's ongoing Gold series, ... see all copies from $17.64! new only from $17.64!
14 view cover	London Howlin' Wolf Sessions (1971) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.75!
15 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 $37.06! new only from $37.06!
16 view cover	Anthology (2007) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $24.30! new only from $24.30!
17 view cover	3744 James Road: The HTD Anthology (2002) more music like this by The Groundhogs The Groundhogs were an at-times better than average 1960s British blues band led by T.S. McPhee, whose Jack Bruce-like vocals and raggedly aggressive guitar style made the group sound at times like a looser version of Cream. This two-disc set, divided into studio and live recordings, makes a pretty solid introduction to the band. The studio disc ... see all copies from $24.74! new only from $24.74!
