“Moanin’ For My Baby” This jukebox copy is a litle beat up but Howlin’ Wolf murders that background noise. I just know that You Tube will darken the video, can’t be helped. Sorry about the shakey camera work – digicam. … Howlin Wolf 78rpm vintage vinyl record turntable chess

   It brings a tear to my eye just looking at that old Chess logo spinning round on that turntable. I miss that label.

   Nothing on earth better than the Wolf’s best sides.

   All the Chess blues recordings such as this were done with one microphone only at the opposite end of the auditorium(a fair distance from the band/singer), giving a deep echo which can sometimes sound like two people singing.
   Hope this answers your question,Blackwwoolff.
   It is extremely hard to replicate this echo with electronics;-almost impossible

    Howlin wolf was and is still the best.He understood groove,confidence and dynamics and wrap the most compelling messege of lyrical genius around the whole damn thing.I absolutely HATE led zepplin for copying his material and sticking a different name on it and trying to call it theres. They did i all the time.How many more times sounds an awful lot like this tune.They never paid Howlin wolf a dime.Fuck you zepplin! Thank God for todays copyright laws. Peace be to Howlin’ Wolf. – wolf

    Thanks for posting this,laceup1967,- I used to have it on the 1964 LP- sounds even better after all these years- unmistakable,unforgetable, and forever unequalled and unchallenged.This enchants moreso than many Wolf recordings.Terrific!!!

    VOICE WHAT A VOICE!

    GREAT SONG! My dad has thia and the Smokestack Lightning 78s which are basically one and the same with very little musical differences.
    Both great tunes!

    I don’t know if that’s rhetorical, but it’s all Chester Burnett aka Howlin’ Wolf. He does the throat shaking too (the initial part he uses in Moanin’ At Midnight, the “whoooo-hoooo” was later put to gravy in Smokestack Lighting)… Helluva vocalist.

    Who is that other person singing?

17. orgonomie on January 28th, 2010 4:01 pm
