Howlin' Wolf
"The Red Rooster", backed with "Shake for Me", which was also recorded during the same session, was issued by Chess Records in October 1961. Neither song, nor his other songs from the period now considered to be among his best known, entered the record charts. Both were included on his acclaimed 1962 album "Howlin' Wolf", often called the "Rockin' Chair" album. "The Red Rooster" also appears on many Howlin' Wolf compilations, including "Howlin' Wolf: The Chess Box" and "Howlin' Wolf: His Best – The Chess 50th Anniversary Collection".
