The 'rocking chair' album of foundational Chicago blues classics, Wolf's voice an elemental force. Raw and essential. A blues cornerstone. Not the headline release, but a genuine highlight.
On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
