1.The Collection by: Howlin' Wolf September 25, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.47 You Save: £2.52 (42%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.16
A welcome budget price collection by one of the most charismatic and influential blues artists of all time. Many of Wolf's best known numbers are here, commencing with 'How Many More Years' from his first session in 1951 in Sam Phillips' Memphis studio, and continuing through the 1954 to 1965 period with Chess Records. The material is licensed from MCA, and therefore in excellent sound quality, with stereo mixes being used on some of the later dates. Just reading the titles reveals that most of the essential tracks are present, including the ones that were to feature strongly in the white blues boom of the 1960s: 'The Little Red Rooster', 'Spoonful', 'Killing Floor', and the inevitable 'Smokestack Lightnin''. Wolf's songs were notable ... Read More:

2.The Howlin' Wolf Anthology by: Howlin' Wolf May 21, 2007

This 2-CD set comes enclosed in a "large" jewel box. It features 48 tracks recorded for the Chess label from 1956 to 1973. The playing time is generous at more than two hours of music (131:07.) The selections are, often, of the highest order. No less than 34 of these tracks previously appeared on "His Best", "His Best, Vol. 2" and/or "The Chess Box", which is a reference indeed! The 14 remaining tracks are more of a mixed bag. They include gems like ""I'm Leavin' You" or "Somebody In My Home" but also largely dispensable material like the instrumental "The Back Door Man" (with awful harpsichord playing"), the average "Mama's Baby" or "Do The Do". What is most puzzling here is that none of Howlin' Wolf's eleven ... Read More:

This is a wonderful album and has a lot to recommend it. It's a builder, and the more you hear it, the more you realise is there. I would just suggest you get a copy, you won't be disappointed. Great stuff.

4.Howlin' Wolf / Moanin' In The Moonlight by: Howlin' Wolf December 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.98 You Save: £2.01 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.10
This is the most essential single Howlin' Wolf CD there could possibly be and would make an excellent first purchase for a Howlin' Wolf novice. It comprises The Wolf's first two long-player releases, both what we would now regard as compilations, and was put out by Chess/MCA in 1986. Moanin' In The Moonlight came out in America in 1959 and was made up of 12 selected A-sides and B-sides from the many 78's he released between 1951 and 1958, all monaural, including such classics as Smokestack Lightnin' and I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline). The LP kicks off with Moanin' At Midnight and How Many More Years, comprising both sides of his first Chess single, recorded in Memphis by Sam Phillips at what would become the Sun studios, long before Howlin' ...

This has to be one of my favourite blues albums, this really is good. Once you've heard killing floor you will be sold, and once you hear wolf's voice you will never forget it.

6.The Chess Box by: Howlin' Wolf December 01, 2002

The problem for anyone who recently 'gets into' this music (Chicago Blues) is that there is no shortage of compilations for the Greats (Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley etc.), presumably because they initially didn't record for albums. The decision to choose which set best represents the artist is made harder by the different recording labels with whom they recorded. And to make matters worse the copyright expiry on older recordings can lead to extremely careless analogue to digital transfers, with little thought about the compilation focus (greatest hits? representative?) No problems with this box set. Granted, it's very expensive. But the sound quality is so very good. The instruments, especially Hubert Sumlin's guitar work, are not dampened or muted. Best of all, ... Read More:

8.His Best Vol.2 by: Howlin' Wolf April 24, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £9.17
An excellent companion volume to MCA/Chess's must-have "His Best" collection, "His Best vol. II" focuses mainly on Howlin' Wolf's lesser-known songs. The first "His Best" CD contained almost all of Wolf's best-known material, as if the label never planned a sequel, but these second-tier songs aren't cast-offs, they are merely forgotten or unappreciated classics. They might not all be as monumental as the songs on "His Best" vol. I, but songs like "The Natchez Burnin'" and the fiery slide guitar workout "Down In The Bottom", which didn't make the first cut, rank among Howlin' Wolf's best. Other highlights include Wolf's self-penned latter-day songs "Louise", "Don't Laugh At Me" and the menacing "Commit A Crime", as well as a awesome version of the classic ... Read More:
