Howlin' Wolf - The Howlin' Wolf Album (1969)






Howlin' Wolf was an influential American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.

In 1968, Chess Records made an attempt to modernize the sound of bluesmen Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters by convincing them to record Jimi Hendrix-inspired psychedelic arrangements of their classic songs resulting in the albums Electric Mud and The Howlin' Wolf Album.
Howlin' Wolf strongly disliked the album, and Chess Records referenced this fact on the album's cover. It was released in 1969 on the experimental subsidiary of Chess Records: Cadet Concept Records.
