That voice, combined with blistering guitar and harmonica, helped put Chess Records and Chicago blues on everyone's radar. Released in 1959, this was his first long-playing album, gathering a dozen singles recorded over the preceding decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmokestack Lightnin' is a masterclass in hypnotic tension, built around that one rumbling groove and a howl for the ages. Evil slinks and snarls, How Many More Years rolls with restless drive, and Moanin' at Midnight sets the mood from the very first note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis audiophile reissue is remastered from the original analog tapes and comes in a tip-on gatefold sleeve printed on high-grade board, a package worthy of the sound inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cornerstone of Chicago blues, it sounds as raw and thrilling now as it ever did. Bring home the sound of America's greatest blues label in high fidelity and hear where so much of rock and roll learned its swagger. Dim the lights, drop the needle and let the Wolf howl in your living room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51911245070641,"sku":"602478549014","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Howlin_Wolf_-_Moanin_In_The_Moonlight_QRP_Chess_Records_Series_75th_Anniversary.jpg?v=1792836543","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/howlin-wolf-moanin-in-the-moonlight-chess-75-series","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
