#901 Howlin Wolf - Moanin in the Moonlight

A legitimate blues shouter gone electric, Chester' Burnett's voice is an imposing presence, prowling around a song like an unstoppable predator. His twangy, soulful guitar playing's inspired at times, but its that voice that will get you, cracking like thunder, cooing like wind. As an album, the songs strart to sound the same pretty fast, but you owe yourself to check the man out if you haven't

[edit 8/3/16: I knew I knew that sample from somewhere! Opening track Moanin' at Midnight's the backbone of Self's It All Comes Out in the Wash. That was driving me nuts all day.]

3.5/5
