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	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from $22.26! new only from $22.26!
3	In a Family Way (2005) more music like this by Ann Rabson While Ann Rabson has made a name for herself as a member of the popular blues trio, Saffire, it's quite a revelation to hear her solo. Whereas Saffire dazzles with multiple vocalists and the occasional risqué number, Rabson reveals herself as more than another revivalist jumping on the acoustic blues wagon. Sure, she can write within the tradition ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $9.22!
4	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 $14.30! new only from $20.59!
5	Smokin' Blues (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Smokin' Blues collects nine blues tracks from John Lee Hooker, Little Milton, Bobby Bland, and Little Walter at a budget price. B.B. King's "Into the Night," Muddy Waters' "Love Weapon," Etta James' "Next Door to the Blues," and Howlin' Wolf's "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy" are some of the highlights from this brief but undeniably affordable blues ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!
6	These Blue Nights (2006) more music like this by Dana Gillespie see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
7	The Collection (2000) more music like this by Howlin' Wolf Though there are countless others, this is a pretty neat little compilation of Howlin' Wolf's best moments from various points in his career. Containing 18 tracks for a budget price, many of the true classics are here, from "Evil" and "Smokestack Lightning" to "Spoonful" and "Back Door Man." There are also a coupe of surprises that don't usually ... see all copies from $17.32! new only from $17.32!
8	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!
9	Kid Ramos (1999) more music like this by David "Kid" Ramos With his second album (self-titled, as if it were his debut), Kid Ramos turns in a solid set of greasy roadhouse blues that hits harder than most contemporary blues albums from the '90s. Ramos not only knows how to select his material (all 15 songs are covers, but only "Three Hundred Pounds of Joy" is overly familiar) and can play all variations ... see all copies from $11.78! new only from $17.23!
10	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!
11 view cover	Blues It Up (1990) more music like this by Dana Gillespie see all copies from $16.11! new only from $16.11!
12 view cover	Blues Amongst Friends (2003) more music like this by Deluxe Blues Band see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
13 view cover	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!
