Howlin’ Wolf: Moanin’ In The Moonlight Label: Chess Year: 1959 Nobody ever had or will do raw and unbridled as Chester Burnett did. “Moanin’ At Midnight”, “How Many More Years” and “Smokestack Lightnin’” all C. Burnett originals. If the Wolf couldn’t hit it in 3 minutes it can’t be hit as Moanin’ In The Moonlight crams 12 prototypical cuts onto one collection that sparked a musical revolution. Howlin’ Wolf is not one of the forefathers of electric blues. He is the father.
Great inspiration !
