Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 477/500!

The man born Chester Arthur Bennett idolized folk and country singers, but his unmistakable delivery was too powerful for a blue yodel. "I couldn't do no yodelin'," he said, "so I turned to howlin'."

Howlin' Wolf's voice, combined with his blistering guitar and harmonica, helped put Chess Records and Chicago blues on everyone's radar. Moanin' in the Moonlight, Wolf's first long-playing album from 1958 collected a dozen singles he had recorded over the preceding decade, including the favorites "Smokestack Lightnin'," "Evil" and "How Many More Years."

Bring home the sound of America's greatest blues label in high fidelity with the Chess Records 75th Anniversary Series. These audiophile reissues of classic albums and compilations from the Chess discography are remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP).
