Love Howlin Wolf! I would highly recommend also checking out his compilation “Howlin’ Wolf” from 1962 which similarly to this one is a collection of singles but these ones are from 1960-1962. Some of his best recordings are on it.

Didn't think too deeply about this album until Shawn started talking. I feel like my connection to hip-hop today is what my connection to blues would have been in the mid-century. It's a mirror held to American life that I know only through others' narratives and experiences. Love this album.
