Wow! Howlin’ Wolf included in the Chronological Classics blues & rhythm series – now that’s fantastic because we’re sure to get all the recordings the Wolf ever made in order (eventually). This first disc offers up his first 25 sides, mostly for Chess, but also including some items for RPM.Howlin’ Wolf (r.n. Chester Burnett) was already 40 years old when he cut his first sides in May 1951: Chess 1479, MOANIN’ AT MIDNIGHT/HOW MANY MORE YEARS. The record was a big hit for the Wolf; nobody had ever heard anything quite like this before. That deep gravelly voice – it was like Louis Armstrong on a 3-day bender or what Miles Davis would’ve sounded like if he ever sang. He also played a mean harp.

Howlin’ Wolf laid down some of the most potent blues on sides like CRYING AT DAYBREAK, PASSING BY BLUES, AND MY BABY WALKED OFF. Whether doing a medium-up head-pounder like MOANIN’ AT MIDNIGHT or a down-home lament like GETTING OLD AND GRAY the Wolf struck deep in the heart and soul of the listener. Ike Turner’s rumbling piano licks and Willie Johnson’s in-your-face guitar playing only add to the pleasure. Wolf fans will be in heaven with this disc. Definitely worth checking out.
