There were many famous songs of Howlin’ Wolf available. There is so much to love about Howlin’ Wolf, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Howlin’ Wolf has. One of Howlin’ Wolf’s best albums yet.
Album opener Smokestack Lightnin’ is a bright, upbeat ditty. I like to sing along with You Can’t Be Beat, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Best song on the album, love it. Strong, powerful vocals of Howlin’ Wolf in I Asked For Water are very impressive. The Natchez Burnin’ had me crying as I was able to relate so well. I like Who’s Been Talking because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Tell Me is probably the highlight of the album. Sittin’ On Top Of The World is probably the most interesting track on Howlin’ Wolf Chess Box 1955 to 1962. This song is dynamic and dramatic. Moaning For My Baby gives taste of what makes Howlin’ Wolf special as a musician. Change My Way - A catchy, upbeat tune. I Better Go Now - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. I came to like Howlin’ For My Darling. Vocals of Howlin’ Wolf in I’ve Been Abused really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Only one song from Howlin’ Wolf Chess Box 1955 to 1962 named Mr. Airplane Man really got me. The song feels complete. Back Door Man gets you up and jumping. I was truly moved when I heard Howlin’ Wolf Talks. There is perfect mix of music in Spoonful. Down In The Bottom is one of my favorite songs by Howlin’ Wolf. This track is clearly meant to showcase Howlin’ Wolf’s vocal abilities. The Red Rooster is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Once You’ll Be Mine gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. From the moment you listen to Just Like I Treat You you’re hooked. I Ain’t Superstitious has a fun tempo. Howlin’ Wolf breathes new life into the music in Goin’ Down Slow.
