Howlin' Wolf (Chess Acoustic Sounds Series) LP

Howlin' Wolf's self-titled album is a hard-hitting emblem of electric blues, featuring a stark rocking chair on the cover that complements its twelve gritty tracks. With contributions from Chess stalwarts like Willie Dixon, tracks such as "Little Red Rooster" and "Spoonful" stand out with a visceral authenticity that echoes the loud silence of the past. The vinyl spins effortlessly, exuding a raw quality that only seasoned hands could have shaped.
