Review & Description
One of the great blues songbooks is to be found right here-as well as many of the most potent, Earth-shaking performances in blues or any other music. Willie Dixon penned many of these 97 tracks, and Chester Burnett (a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf) played, sang and screamed them into the history books and the record collections of countless future bluesmen and rockers. A 45-page booklet full of rare photos and probing profiles of Wolf's years in Memphis and Chicago joins his hits How Many More Years; Moanin' at Midnight; Who Will Be Next; Smoke Stack Lightning , and I Asked for Water plus The Wolf Is At Your Door; Dorothy Mae; Saddle My Pony; My Last Affair; All Night Boogie (All Night Long); California Blues Nos. 1 & 2; Crazy About You Baby; You Gonna Wreck My Life; Evil; So Glad; I've Been Abused; Mr. Airplane Man; Break of Day; My Life; Back Door Man; Nature; Poor Boy , and more including a whole lotta alternate takes!
