Blues LPs of the 50s were typically compilations of earlier singles, but Chess elevated the convention with a well-sequenced profile of Wolf’s work through the decade. Early hits from Memphis, “Moanin’ at Midnight” and “How Many More Years,” lead on to Chicago blockbusters like “Smokestack Lightnin’” and “Evil.” Wolf’s whiskey growl is legendary and a key influence on blues-rock of the 1960s. <br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GreatBluesAlbums" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GreatBluesAlbums</span></a></p>
