Howlin' Wolf (Audp) (Gate)

Howlin' Wolf (Chester Burnett) will always be known as one of the founding fathers of modern day blues. His legendary style of playing guitar, his unique vocal and stage prowess and of course his stellar list of classic Chicago style blues tunes have all gone on to influence generations upon generations of rock and blues performers worldwide. With almost six decades in the music business, this Mississippi native began his career cutting early sides for Sun before landing in Chicago in the early-50s, where he began a long climb to the top of the blues world on the Chess label. Friday Music is no stranger to the music of the legendary Chess Records arsenal of fine recordings. That is why they are so very proud to announce their first installment in The Howlin' Wolf 180 Gram Vinyl Series with his legendary eponymous masterpiece Howlin' Wolf, mastered by Joe Reagoso and housed in a gatefold cover with the original artwork elements and rare photos.
