Howlin' Wolf's Moanin' in the Moonlight stands as the cornerstone of electric blues, collecting a dozen essential singles the legendary artist recorded throughout the 1950s. Originally released in 1959, this album features iconic tracks like "Smokestack Lightnin'," "Evil," and "How Many More Years" that would go on to influence generations of rock and blues musicians from The Rolling Stones to The Yardbirds.

This Chess Records 75th Anniversary Series reissue breathes new life into an album that was notoriously lo-fi in its original form, with pristine remastering from original analog tapes and premium 180-gram pressing at Quality Record Pressings. For blues enthusiasts looking to trace the roots of their favorite artists or collectors seeking the definitive version of these seminal recordings, this release offers both historical significance and exceptional sound quality that brings Wolf's raw power directly into your listening room.
