Our Take

Howlin’ Wolf’s “The Absolutely Essential 3 CD Collection” is a staggering compilation of the legendary bluesman’s most primal, gut-wrenching tunes. From the first guttural growl that emanates from his vocal cords, you know you’re in for a wild ride through the gritty back alleys of Chicago blues.

This box set is like a time capsule from a bygone era, when men like Howlin’ Wolf ruled the smoky juke joints with an iron fist and a gravelly voice that could shake you to your very core. The raw power of tracks like “Smokestack Lightning” and “Spoonful” is enough to send shivers down your spine and make you want to dance all night long.

But it’s not just Wolf’s vocals that steal the show – his band, with luminaries like Hubert Sumlin and Willie Dixon, provide the perfect backdrop for his primal howls and ferocious guitar licks. Each song is a masterclass in storytelling, with lyrics that paint vivid pictures of heartbreak, lust, and the harsh realities of life.

If you’re looking for a crash course in the roots of blues music, look no further than “The Absolutely Essential 3 CD Collection.” It’s a wild, untamed beast of an album that will leave you howlin’ for more.
