Our Take

Ah, Howlin' Wolf, the man, the myth, the legend. The Complete Rpm & Chess Singles is a treasure trove of bluesy goodness that showcases the raw, primal power of one of the genre's greatest voices.

From the swaggering opener "Moanin' at Midnight" to the soulful crooning of "Spoonful," every track on this album is a testament to Wolf's undeniable talent and charisma. His gravelly vocals and untamed delivery are as electrifying today as they were back in the '50s and '60s.

The production may be a bit rough around the edges by today's standards, but that only adds to the album's charm. It's like listening to these songs in a smoky club, surrounded by the clinking of glasses and the scent of bourbon in the air.

Standout tracks like "Smokestack Lightning" and "Evil" hit you like a punch to the gut, while slower, more contemplative numbers like "The Red Rooster" showcase Wolf's versatility as a performer. Each song is a mini masterpiece, full of passion and personality.

If you're a fan of the blues, The Complete Rpm & Chess Singles is a must-listen. It's a timeless collection that captures the essence of a musical icon at the height of his powers. So grab a glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let Howlin' Wolf's gritty, soul-stirring music wash over you. You won't regret it.
