HOWLIN' WOLF HOWLIN' WOLF

 

CHESS RECORDS 1962                             LP 1469

 Howlin' Wolf is the third studio album from Chicago blues
singer/guitarist/harmonicist Howlin' Wolf. It is a collection
of six singles previously released by the Chess label from
1960 through 1962. Because of the illustration on its sleeve
(by Don Bronstein), the album is often called
The Rockin' Chair Album, a nickname even added to
the cover on some reissue pressings of the LP.
