Howlin' Wolf/Moanin' in the Moonlight

This package combines blues giant Howlin' Wolf's first two albums, themselves compilations of his singles released between 1951 and 1962. Apart from two tracks cut in Memphis with Ike Turner, these Chess Studios recordings are landmarks in the development of electric Chicago blues. The Mississippi Delta native's gruff persona towers over "Smokestack Lightnin'," "Red Rooster," "Spoonful," "Evil," "Wang Dang Doodle," "Back Door Man," and others that have become standards since being "discovered" by the Rolling Stones, Clapton, The Doors, et al. Almost as influential as Wolf's bottomless growl are the guitar playing of Hubert Sumlin and the writing and direction of Willie Dixon. An exceptional twofer value for such a weighty slice of American musical history. --Ben Edmonds more

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-14-2008; Excellent buy not so great packaging; Howlin' Wolf is one of the seminal blues artists.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-01-2008; Seminal!; It's hard to over rate the impact these early HW recordings have had on rock and roll.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Mar-25-2007; An easy must-have; A few songs from Moanin' in the Moonlight (Moanin' for My Baby, All Night Boogie, Forty-Four, Baby How Long) aren't exactly all that great, but the rest makes up for it. This is basically a set of blues classics, in fact if Killin' Floor...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-04-2006; Doesn't Get Any Better; My friends, this is the real deal, it just doesn't get any better than this. This is Howlin' Wolf at his gritty, slashin', terrifyin' best, and just about nothing matches the greatness and intensity of the Wolf at his best.
