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 $3.92! new only from $8.72!
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 $8.54! new only from $20.59!
3	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!
4	Muddy & the Wolf (1974) more music like this by Muddy Waters The title is a bit of a ringer, since this isn't a collaborative effort in any way, shape, or form. Muddy & the Wolf contains a half-dozen live Muddy Waters tracks with backing from Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, and Otis Spann, the material culled from the Fathers & Sons sessions. The set also features tracks by Howlin' Wolf from his London ... see all copies from $3.38! new only from $3.38!
5	Chess Blues Classics: 1957-1967 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This second volume of a two-volume entry in MCA's Chess 50th Anniversary reissue series chronicles the second decade of blues classics produced by the landmark company. Although Chess' big four (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson) are all finely represented, influential sides by Elmore James ("Madison Blues"), Otis ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
6	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 $7.56! new only from $8.24!
7	The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions [Deluxe Edition] (2003) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $27.16! new only from $27.16!
8	Once in a Blue Moon (1995) more music like this by Gerry Groom see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.15!
9	His Best, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Where Chess' two-volume Muddy Waters anthology His Best was divided according to chronological guidelines, the Howlin' Wolf series of the same name follows a different pattern. His Best, Vol. 1 contained all of the Wolf's best-known songs -- as if the label never planned a sequel. Consequently, when it came time to assemble Vol. 2, they had two ... see all copies from $7.43! new only from $13.34!
10	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!
11 view cover	The Super Super Blues Band (1968) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf w/ Muddy Waters & Bo Diddley Featuring Bo Diddley stubbing his toe on a wah-wah pedal, Wolf and Muddy clearly ill at ease trying to sing songs they don't know and a super annoying female chorus giving out banshee shrieks approximately every 45 seconds, this is one very chaotic, untogether super session to try and wade through. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.82! new only from $4.82!
12 view cover	Heart & Soul (1989) more music like this by Hubert Sumlin The veteran guitarist sounds more confident and expressive vocally here than on any other of his contemporary recordings. Backing by harpist James Cotton, along with Little Mike & the Tornadoes, is nicely understated, affording Sumlin just enough drive without drowning his easygoing vocals out (no small feat). Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.99! new only from $15.49!
13 view cover	Chess Blues-Rock Songbook: The Classic Originals (1997) more music like this by Various Artists While Chess Records' legacy as a dominating and shaping force on rock & roll is well chronicled, you don't really get the full range of it until you're ultimately confronted with the music itself. This two-disc, 36-track compilation drives that point home with an almost numbing intensity. Whether they're blues tunes that have been covered so many ... see all copies from $23.68!
14 view cover	Sweet Home Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists As the title suggests, Sweet Home Blues gathers nine blues classics into a value-priced CD, including: Buddy Guy's "First Time I Met The Blues," Howlin' Wolf's "The Red Rooster," B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby," and Koko Taylor's "Wang Dang Doodle." Albert Collins' "Frostbite" and Junior Parker's "Sweet Home Chicago" are some of the other worthwhile ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $3.98!
15 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!
16 view cover	The Blues & Nothin' Else (1996) more music like this by Joe Houston Of all the honkers who worked the table tops out on the West Coast, one of the very best was "Big" Joe Houston. Able to jump from big band to small combo blues and R&B with consummate ease, Houston was one of the first to test the waters of the newly emerging style that would become known as rock & roll. Cutting one brilliant single after another ... see all copies from $7.46!
17 view cover	King of the Jungle (1977) more music like this by Eddie C. Campbell Flamboyant West Side-styled guitarist's debut album, first issued on the short-lived Mr. Blues logo, remains his best, with his slashing guitarist and lowdown vocals beautifully presented on covers of material by Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, Percy Mayfield, Willie Mabon, and his own Yuletide perennial "Santa's Messin' with the Kid." Great band, too: ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $12.00!
18 view cover	London Howlin' Wolf Sessions (1971) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf see all copies from $4.49!
19 view cover	Blues-Rock Songbook: Millennium Collection - 20th Century Masters (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.16! new only from $17.16!
20 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!
21 view cover	Mojo Chess Originals (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $20.59! new only from $20.59!
22 view cover	Goin' Down Slow (2000) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf A real hodgepodge of a budget set made up of tracks from The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions and horrible transfers of actual Chess originals like "I Ain't Superstitious," "Goin' Down Slow," and "Hold On to Your Money." Save your cash and buy any of his MCA/Chess sets instead. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.00! new only from $4.00!
23 view cover	Pieces of Eight (2000) more music like this by Leroi Serge's Harp Attack This is a sampling of a dozen harp players who participated in a touring revue called Harp Attack, who played the Los Angeles nightclub circuit. Standing out for being the most adventuresome is "Ironman" (mistakenly labeled as "Iron") by Mike Curtis, a one-man band who judiciously tackles "Take Five" with a tastefully bluesey approach. Certainly ... see all copies from $6.15! new only from $6.15!
24	Stoned Alchemy (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Here's an interesting idea for a collection: the original versions of 27 R&B songs that were covered by the Rolling Stones in the studio or on stage. This is more than just a clever gimmick for a compilation, however. In addition to providing insight into the development of the Rolling Stones' music, this is also a first-rate collection of classic ... see all copies from $20.00!
25 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 $38.76! new only from $38.76!
