 Rating: - Howl, Yes !What's not to like about this collection of iconic recordings from one of the most recognizable voices in all of blues? Howlin' Wolf remains the Soul of the Real Deal. Most of these classic songs have been covered by, and become hits by, other artists, but the 'Wolf's gritty renditions will send chills down the spine of any observer of the human condition. Yes, I would call this collection 'Definitive'. Rating: - The best songs by one of the greatest bluesmen in history....This album simply cannot be beat. You get some of the greatest songs from one of the all-time great post-war bluesmen, Chester Burnett, a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf. If BB King is a fine wine, Howlin' Wolf is a shot of strong scotch. The CD starts out with Moaning at Midnight, a song which will send chills up your spine the first time you hear it....if anyone can be said to have an inimitable voice, it can be said of Chester Burnett. Personally, I was not sure I would like Howlin' Wolf as ... Read More Rating: - Hoy Hoy I'm your boy!Even before college I was grooving to the Wolf. When I got to the University of Rochester, my dreams came true. I got to produce a show with Wolf and his band in 1969. A dance/concert. It was extra special because before the show, we had a picnic thing...ribs, chicken etc., with the band and a surprise guest...Eddie 'Son' House! Thirty years later, I saw Hubert Sumlin at a festival in Maryland, and asked him to re-sign the poster from that '69 show. He told me the band, and Wolf, in particular, ...

There is just no one like the Wolf. I love a broad range of blues, from the earliest country blues pickers to the West Side soul crew, but not a one of them can stand up to the Wolf. The primal energy in these tracks has never been matched by any other artist and never will be. The band is almost supernatural in how well they play together and read ... Read More Rating: - Unsurpassed!This is really just MCA/Chess' Howlin' Wolf-compilation "His Best" in new guise, but that's not a bad thing. "His Best" was by far the greatest single-disc Wolf-compilation on the market, and now this one is simply taking its place. But do you know what you are getting into here? Even people who like Muddy Waters are sometimes turned off by the "sound of heavy machinery operating on a gravel road" that was Howlin' Wolf's voice. Chester Arthur Burnett, the Howlin' Wolf, stood about ... Read More |
