Howlin' Wolf - Howlin' Blues Selected A & B Sides 1951-1962 - VINYL LP
About this product
Vinyl LP pressing. Howlin' Wolf was one of the most charismatic and exciting performers in the history of blues music. Standing six feet three inches he was a mountain of a man whose menacing vocal and low down 'n' dirty delivery greatly influenced a whole generation of rockers who followed. Born Chester Burnett, Wolf was one of the most important and influential figures in Chicago Blues through the 1950s. Rougher-edged than Muddy Waters, the intensity of Wolf's performance prompted Sun Records impresario, Sam Phillips, to observe When I heard Howlin' Wolf, I said 'This is for me. This is where the soul of man never dies'. This 16-track LP features the bluesman's best-loved songs from the first decade or more of his recording career, comprising songs from his 1951 debut recording for Phillips in Memphis, through to 1962 by which time commercial blues had become focused on the middle-class, white student market as much as it's traditional black roots. A fitting tribute to one of the true greats of the blues. Album Tracks 1. Moanin' at Midnight 2. How Many More Years 3. Wolf Is at Your Door 4. Evil Is Going on 5. Who Will Be Next 6. Smokestack Lightning 7. I Asked for Water 8. Sittin' on Top of the World 1. Howlin' Blues 2. Spoonful 3. Wang Dang Doodle 4. Back Door Man 5. Down in the Bottom 6. The Red Rooster 7.

The all acoustic Goin' Way Back was recorded in a single afternoon in a Montreal rooming house during a 1967 Canadian tour. In between shows, Muddy and his band gathered in a living room, armed only with acoustic guitar, for a spirited walk through their collective blues memory. An interesting side note is that legendary pianist Otis Spann is confined exclusively to guitar here, as are the other members of Muddy's group. Goin' Way Back is a unique, appealing snapshot of the acoustic Delta roots that the Chicago blues godfather never abandoned. This Record Store Day Black Friday is part of the Justin Time Essentials Collection. Album Tracks 1. Gypsy Woman 2. Little Anna Mae 3. My Home Is on the Delta 4. Take a Little Walk 5. Mean Disposition 1. Laverne (Why Do You Treat Me So Mean?) 2. Leavin' in the Mornin' 3. Got a Sweet Little Girl 4. Bad Lovin' Trouble 5. Nothin' Bother Me 6. Crazy 'Bout You Baby
Vinyl Pressing. 2014 album from the rapper and producer. Freddie Gibbs is the product of violent, drug-laden streets but unlike most rappers with similar resumes, he brings the block to the booth without inhibition or an exaggerated rap persona. PINATA, a 17 track collaboration with producer Madlib, is the best distillation yet of his transparent approach to making music, combining an at times stark honesty with electrifying talent as a lyricist and performer. PINATA is 'a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax,' says Gibbs, who came up on the streets of Gary, Indiana, the disregarded city previously best known for producing Michael Jackson. Here he is joined by Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul and a host of others in setting his soliloquies of the streets alongside film snippets and dusted Funk, Soul and Progressive musical tapestries. Album Tracks 1. Supplier 2. Scarface 3. Deeper 4. High Ft. Danny Brown 5. Harold's 6. Bomb Ft. Raekwon 7. Shitsville 8. Thuggin' 9. Real 10. Uno 11. Robes Ft. Domo Genesis & Earl Sweatshirt 12.
