Howlin Wolf's contributions to the development of blues culture are vast, just like his back catalogue, but this classic compilation is a great place to start in understanding the impact he had as he helped usher in the electric Chicago blues era. Originally released in 1962, Howling Wolf Sings The Blues gathered together eight songs originally recorded for Modern Records in the early 50s as well as further instrumentals by Joe Hill Louis. It's a classic era for a true blues legend, right up there with his fabled Chess sessions recorded a few years later.
