Collection: Howlin' Wolf Vinyl Records

Howlin' Wolf — born Chester Burnett in Mississippi in 1910 — became one of the defining voices of Chicago electric blues at Chess Records in the 1950s and 1960s. His voice alone, paired with the songwriting of Willie Dixon and the guitar work of Hubert Sumlin, produced some of the most consequential blues recordings ever made.

The Chess pressings of the period have a particular dryness and forward power; the modern reissues from the original tape masters preserve the rawness while restoring some low-end the original LPs sacrificed.
