Moanin' in the Moonlight

Howlin' Wolf (Chester Arthur Burnett 1910-1976), was the primal force of blues music spun out to its ultimate conclusion. He was an imposing presence, blessed with a thunderous voice and enormous physical strength. Like his friend and rival Muddy Waters, Wolf transformed Mississippi's archaic country blues into the electric urban blues of Chicago, his adopted home. Presented here is his outstanding debut album for Chess Records, 'Moanin' in the Moonlight' (1959) - one of the all-time cornerstones of the genre. It includes the hit single 'Smokestack Lightnin'', issued by Pye Records in the UK in 1964, where it peaked at number 42 in the singles chart.
