This three CD box set collects the "best" recordings from Howlin' Wolf's long association with Chess Records. Wolf was one of the greatest blues singers of all time, and the vast majority of his recordings were with Chess. He did recorded a number of great tracks for another record label early in his career, which are collected on Moanin' at Midnight: The Memphis Recordings. But even without those recordings this is an essential overview of the career of one of the greatest bluesmen.
 
5 Star Rating  "Wonderful collection of Blues"2009-02-16

Chester Arthur Burnett (aka, The Howlin' Wolf) got a late start in music, recording his first single at the age of 41 which is kind of inspiring to anyone considering a mid-life change of career since The Wolf went on to become one of the giants of the Blues.

This Chess box set collects 71 performances from this singer, guitarist, and harmonica player, recorded between 1951 and 1973. Additionally, there are 4 tracks that record excerpts from an interview he did in 1968. The music will please anyone who likes the Blues. Even those who primarily listen to rock music might recognize some of the tunes which were covered by various rock groups including the Yardbirds, the Doors, Cream, the Jeff Beck Group (with Rod Stewart), and the Rolling Stones. The entire set was digitally remastered and sounds great.

The box set has an excellent booklet with two essays, lots of pictures, and detailed track listings. My only complaint about the box set is the format of the box which is sized like a 12" LP rather than like a more typical multi-CD box set. This means that you can't store the set with all your other CDs. Of course, if you still have records, it will fit in just fine with those. Of course, this is just a minor nit. In reality, the format is advantageous in that it allows much bigger pictures.

One interesting bit of trivia: The Wolf was named after President Chester Arthur, who was President of the United States in the 1880s and died in 1886. Given that the Wolf was born in 1910, his being named after President Arthur is a mystery which the booklet doesn't clarify.
 
5 Star Rating  "Doin' His Midnight Creep"2008-06-20

One of my first exposures to the world of Chicago-style blues, after a steady diet of country-style Delta blues, was the Rolling Stones' version of the Willie Dixon classic Little Red Rooster back in the early 1960's. I thought that was a song to beat all songs and it had nothing to do its allegorical nature, you know, about sex. What, moreover, capped it for me the fact that it was originally banned in Boston- from the radio airwaves of the times. Naturally that made this teenager want to hear it even more.

All this is by way of saying-yes; the Stones did a great version of that song but if you really want it heard then you must go to the master- Howlin' Wolf. That big gravelly-voiced man who, in still pictures that I have seen of him as well as film seems to be inhaling the microphone, lets it all hang out as he struts his stuff on that number. In Do the Do, Little Red Rooster, Killing Floor and on and on the Wolf sweats, bleeds, sucks up the whiskey, has another one for good measure and gets down on his knees, sometimes literally, to belt out the blues.

You buy this CD set to get your little hands on Rooster but that is hardly the end of the story. This set contains every classic Wolf song that you could want under one roof, and some interesting Wolf talk in between. What are the ones you want to make sure you hear (and hear over and over again). Well, here is a by no means inclusive short list. Spoonful, The Natchez Burning, Killing Floor, Dust My Broom, I Am The Wolf, Back Door Man, Wang Dang Doodle... hey, wait a minute let's make it easier just get the set, take a few hours off and listen-you won't want to turn the damn thing off.
 
5 Star Rating  "A very good set"2007-07-27
- Reviewed By katorzhnik
Wolf along with Muddy were stablemates during Chess's glory years, and this set shows why his reputation as one of the blues' great masters is inviolable. The set begins in the early 50s with his first recordings for Philip's Sun studios in Memphis, which are key to understanding his origins in Delta country blues, before switching to his various band formations at Chess through to the early 70s. There are many classics here, including "Evil," "Sitting on Top of the World," and "Smokestack Lightin'," as well as lesser known gems and brief interviews. With partial exception of some lackluster liner notes, this set is necessary for any self-respecting fan of American folk music and blues.

This is not a very tough choice, if you like Howlin' Wolf or the blues get this box. It has not weak tracks, some fascinating interviews (well The Wolf talking), and many of the classic, indispensable tracks.Plus, there's, as evidenced here, no other electric blues guitarist nearly as nasty, dirty, just downright awesome as Hubert Sumlin. Buy and enjoy, this is the blues at its best.
