Title: Howlin’ Wolf – Moanin’ in the Moonlight
Year/Genre: 1959, Blues
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

1. Cut after Wolf relocated to Chicago; Chess positioned him as Muddy Waters’ other marquee draw, creating a label rivalry fans tracked in real time.

2. Some key early recordings were first made in Memphis with Sam Phillips before feeding into the Chess ecosystem—part of why his early catalog feels “split.”

3. Wolf ran his band like a job: strict rehearsals, punctuality rules, and fines—unusual discipline for blues touring units of the era
