More than "Three Hundred Pounds Of Joy"!

Whole treatises could be written about Howlin 'Wolf. It should be noted briefly: He helped the "Chicago Blues" in 1950s and 60s to unimagined spread and interpreted it with his inimitable husky voice. As a representative of the "Electric Blues" he influenced, among others, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones and about the game of Doors. He works to this day in their music.

This anthology is its reputation as a showcase. So assembled, the double CD whopping 48 songs from the first single shots up to the late work and comes up with hits like "Smokestack Lightnin '", "Wang Dang Doodle", "Back Door Man" or "I Is not Superstitious "on. The sound is good and the versions are remastered!

Blues lovers can access unwisely and even newbies will draw this compilation in its spell.

So I forgive full five stars and say: "More than 'Three Hundred Pounds Of Joy'"
