Howlin' Wolf - Sings The Blues (with Iconic Japanese OBI Strip)

Raw, rugged, and roaring with early fire, Sings the Blues captures Howlin’ Wolf at his most primal and powerful. Originally compiled in 1962 from sessions recorded between 1951 and 1952 for the RPM label, this reissue is a deep cut into the soul of Delta blues—now beautifully presented with the iconic Japanese OBI strip for that extra collector’s touch.

With Ike Turner hammering away on piano, Willie Johnson bending notes on guitar like rules don’t exist, and Wolf’s unmistakable howl ripping through every track, this album is pure, unrefined blues thunder. It's loose, it's loud, and it's utterly electrifying.

From West Memphis to legend status, Wolf delivers grit with growl, backed by rhythms that stumble into brilliance. This pressing is more than a throwback—it's a sonic time capsule from a bluesman who didn’t just sing the blues, he lived them.
