MUSIC BY MASONS

Howlin' Wolf

Chester Arthur Burnett (aka Howlin' Wolf) was one of the major figures in blues history, recording such classics as Smokestack Lightnin', Back Door Man, Shake For Me, Poor Boy, Moanin' At Midnight, The Natchez Burnin' and many others. He was, and continues to be, a major influence on modern music.

Howlin' Wolf was born near West Point, Mississippi and played as a travelling musician in Mississippi and neighbouring states from the late 1920s until he was first recorded by Sam Phillips at Sun Studios in Memphis in 1951.

Sam Phillips sold his 1951 recordings of Howlin' Wolf to Chess Records in Chicago and Howlin' Wolf recorded for Chess Records for the rest of his life.

We know that Howlin' Wolf was a Mason but at this time we have not confirmed his Lodge affiliation or any of his Masonic history. Howlin' Wolf's Masonic ring is visible in the photo at left.
