"1959's Moanin' in the Moonlight was Howlin' Wolf's first long-playing album for the Chicago-based Chess label. It was a compilation of previously released singles spanning an eight year period (from 1951-1958), beginning with his first single--1951's 'How Many More Years'/'Moanin' At Midnight' -- which immediately shot to the top of the R&B charts, all the way through to 1958's 'Moanin' for My Baby'. During the 1950s, the Wolf had two more top 10 hits, 'Smokestack Lightnin'' (perhaps his single most influential song) and 'I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)', also featured here."

"It's not often that an album disavowed by its own author at the time of release goes on to become considered a modern classic. Yet that's exactly what happened with Chicago blues legend Howlin' Wolf's 1969 LP The Howlin' Wolf Album, a release that has since attained mythical status due to the controversy behind it. Released on Cadet Records, a subsidiary of legendary imprint Chess Records, The Howlin' Wolf Album was a radical experiment for a well-established artist: attempt to integrate electric instruments and psychedelic arrangements into his revered signature blues sound. The result was an album that Wolf himself initially disregarded on the now infamous cover, but one that has won a special place amongst dedicated music aficionados thanks to its unique mix of traditional blues and electric rock elements. Get On Down's reputation for high quality reissues continues with The Howlin' Wolf Album, which features audio remastered from the original analog tapes for optimum sound quality." Digipak release.

Title:	Message To The Young
Label:	GET ON DOWN
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	GET 54046CD

"1971 marked a tumultuous yet historic year for Chicago blues legend Howlin' Wolf. His health failing after suffering a second heart attack, doctors discovered his kidneys were also shutting down and he was ordered on dialysis to save his life. Wolf's doctors demanded that the legend quit performing at all costs, but the legendary blues musician did not have any quit in him. Three months after being ordered never to perform again he was headlining opening night at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival. 1971 also marked the release of Howlin' Wolf's second experimental offering, Message to the Young. Oft-considered his second attempt (after the Howlin' Wolf Album he famously shunned) at offering the masses a 'psychedelic' record, the sound on the record ranges from acid-rock, to blues, to funk, and back again."
