Howlin' Wolf – His Greatest Sides Vol. 1 (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Chester Burnett recorded some of the most viscerally powerful music ever committed to tape, and his Chess sessions remain required listening for anyone serious about understanding where rock and roll actually came from. Willie Dixon wrote several of the songs Wolf made iconic here, and the Rolling Stones, Cream, and the Allman Brothers all came knocking on that same door. Red vinyl does right by music this primal.
Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Continuing Jackpot's series of Chess Records reissues, this compilation of landmark original studio singles from Chicago blues artist Howlin' Wolf, were originally recorded from 1954-65. Howlin' Wolf electrified the sound of the Mississippi Delta blues and brought it to Chicago, laying down what would become the foundation of rock `n' roll in the early 1950s. Delivered in his gruff, haunting voice, his lyrics spoke of his hard life experiences and his signature growlin' mesmerized audiences and blues musicians alike. Howlin' Wolf helped make Chess Records a historic label and solidified Chicago as the worlds capital of blues.
