Many people will ask to borrow this CD from you. Sooner or later, someone won't want to return it. Chicago blues through and through, this stuff just doesn't get any better in my opinion. The only reason to NOT buy this Best Of album is if you're such a huge fan that you want to own every single individual Howlin' Wolf album ever released...however since his death in 1976 there have been a vast multitude of releases with his name, more than one being compilations of his work. This is one of them, and if you don't have Howlin' Wolf in your cd collection, go ahead and buy two copies of this one.
