'Moanin' in the Moonlight' was Howlin' Wolf's first collection of sides for the Chess label, packed with great tunes and untouchable performances. One of the all- time cornerstones of the genre, Moanin' in the Moonlight (1959) features several of his early hits ('How Many More Years', 'Moanin' at Midnight', 'Smokestack Lightnin', 'Forty Four', 'Evil', and 'I Asked for Water [She Gave Me Gasoline]'), a potent collection to say the very least!

Born Chester Burnett (1910-1976), and named after President Chester Alan Arthur, Howlin' Wolf had blues credentials so authentic they seem parodic. As a teenager in the Mississippi Delta, he pestered Charley Patton (Mississippi's seminal blues singer) for lessons, and took on Patton's grainy voice and powerful, elemental slide guitar style. In the '30s and '40s, he became one of the Delta's many wandering entertainers, using the nom de guerre (Howlin' Wolf) he derived from a childhood nickname.
