Howlin' Wolf is the second album from the Chicago blues singer/guitarist/harmonicist, Howlin' Wolf.[5] It is a collection of twelve singles previously released by the Chess label from 1960 through 1962.[6][7] Because of the illustration on its sleeve (by Don S. Bronstein), the album is often called The Rockin' Chair Album, a nickname even added to the cover on some reissue pressings of the LP.
