Editorial Reviews

2007 two CD anthology from this Blues great. From humble rural beginnings in the Mississippi delta emerged a man destined to become a folk hero and musical legend. His US R&B chart-hit pedigree rivals those of his peers Muddy Waters and Little Walter, and he stands good comparison with Jimmy Reed and John Lee Hooker, who shared his rise to trans-Atlantic fame during the '60s. He is known as Howlin’ Wolf, and sometimes simply as 'The Wolf'. This collection features 48 classics including album cuts, single versions and a whole lot more. Features 'Wang Dang Doodle', 'Back Door Man', 'Smokestack Lightnin'', 'I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)' and more. Universal.

Consider yourself warned... alternate takes in this compilation. But the worst? Nearly a minute is trimmed off of Howlin' Wolf's signature tune Smokestack Lightin'!

A great anthology of Wolf. He had a long career but in my opinion (or wish) he could have recorded much more. So that said, this double CD has most of his best stuff. Check out his live albums also.

Was introded to Howlin' Wolf through a movie. Searched on a popular video site, and found several of his songs. This purchase, being my introduction to over twenty of the Wolf's songs, has sealed the deal! I am a fan! "Hey, Hey, the blues is all right!"
