Howlin' Wolf dominated the post-war Chicago blues scene in every way. This outstanding Rough Guide features some of his most ferocious and emotionally intense work, which has been painstakingly re-mastered and restored to world class sound quality. Bonus CD: Wolf's Inspiration Howlin' Wolf drew on a rich blues tradition and then enhanced it with his own dramatic arrival in the recording studio in 1951. These dozen tracks celebrate both the original blues masters who inspired him and contemporaries in the world of Chicago electric blues who were influenced by him.
