About this product
UK reissue. Willie Dixon's songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, but there is little doubt that Howlin' Wolf was the finest interpreter. His versions of 'Shake for Me', 'Back Door Man' and 'Spoonful', among others, helped to define the blues in the 1960s. Not for nothing has Howlin' Wolf regularly been featured in any list of the 100 Greatest Artists of all Time. This particular album, an eponymous collection first issued in 1962 (the original featured a rocking horse on the cover, leading to the album sometimes being called the Rockin' Chair Album) was a gathering of some six singles released on Chess Records between 1960 and 1962. It includes all three titles referred to above, as well as two titles written by Howlin' Wolf in 'Who's Been Talkin' and 'Tell Me'. for the most part, the musicians featured are Howlin' Wolf (vocals), Hubert Sumlin (guitar), Johnny Jones (piano), Willie Dixon (bass) and Sammy Law (drums), but whoever is playing, the quality remains constant throughout. Album Tracks 1. Shake for Me 2. The Red Rooster 3. You'll Be Mine 4. Whose Been Talkin 5. Wang Dang Doodle 6. Little Baby 7. Spoonful 8. Going Down Slow 9. Down in the Bottom 10. Back Door Man 11.

![Howlin' Wolf - Howlin' Wolf At 1815 Club 1975 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/b09592e5-77bf-490a-8b08-25df23eace91.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Memories of hearing Howlin' Wolf at the New 1815 Club are so strong that no one could ever forget what a privilege it was to be able hear such an iconic bluesman up close in a West Side club setting every weekend. But few may remember how few weekends he actually played there. Living Blues magazine reported on Wolf's appearance at the club's grand opening, June 6-8, 1975. Wolf's bandleader, saxophonist Eddie Shaw, had leased the club and was presenting Wolf on weekends and Jimmy Dawkins, Casey Jones and Wolf imitator James InchTail DraggerInch Jones on weeknights.The big club at 1815 West Roosevelt Road was, for a while, a mainstay of the 1970s Chicago blues scene. Usually just called the 1815, it became the New 1815, also known as Eddie's Place or Eddie Shaw's Place. It carried a West Side blues legacy as the Club Alex (or Alex Club) before that, when it moved from a location four blocks east where a blues fan once made tapes Magic Sam that ended up on a Delmark album. I was told that the long, sturdy bar on the east wall of the club had been salvaged from another historic club where Sam played, Mel's Hideaway (the namesake of Freddie King's hit single InchHideawayInch). In 1963 the 1815 building served as the hall of the InchPrestige Social Club of the Near West SideInch and in an earlier era that block of Roosevelt Road was a residential zone.Wolf had been hitting the road with Shaw and the rest of the Wolf Gang in the 1970s, in between playing Chicago clubs on the North, South and West Sides, as he traveled to nightclubs, colleges and festivals in Canada, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans and elsewhere and sometimes taking time off to spend in the West Point area of Mississippi where he was born. An enthusiastic, predominantly white audience often flocked to hear him, but he also put black venues like the Harlem Dukes Social Club in Prichard, Alabama, on
