Chester Arthur Burnett (10 de junho de 1910 - 10 de janeiro de 1976), mais conhecido como Howlin 'Wolf, foi um influente cantor de blues americano, guitarrista e gaitista. Com uma voz potente e ameaçadora presença física, Burnett é comumente classificada entre as principais intérpretes do blues elétrico,  Muitas canções popularizadas por Burnett, tais como" Smokestack Lightnin ' "," Back Door Man "e" Spoonful "tornaram-se standards de blues e rock blues.
Ele com sua altura pelos 1,98cm e pesando 136kg,  era uma presença imponente, com uma das vozes mais altas e mais memorável de todos os "clássicos" cantores de blues de Chicago 1950. Voz de Howlin 'Wolf foi comparado com "o som de operação de máquinas pesadas em uma estrada de cascalho". Embora os dois não teriam sido tão diferentes na personalidade real, essa faca áspera, ligeiramente temível estilo musical é muitas vezes comparada com a apresentação menos bruto, mas ainda poderoso de seu rival contemporâneo e profissional, Muddy Waters, para descrever os dois pilares do Blues de Chicago representando a música. Howlin 'Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), Little Walter Jacobs e Muddy Waters são normalmente considerados em retrospecto como os maiores artistas de blues que gravaram pela Chess em Chicago. Sam Phillips observou certa vez de Chester Arthur Burnett, "Quando eu ouvi Howlin 'Wolf, eu disse:' Isto é para mim. Este é o lugar onde nunca a alma do homem morre." "Em 2004, a revista Rolling Stone o colocou como # 51 em sua lista das 100 Maiores Artistas de Todos os Tempos.
Burnett morreu Hines VA Hospital Hines, Illinois, em 10 de janeiro de 1976 e foi enterrado no Cemitério de Oak Ridge, Hillside, Cook County, Illinois, em uma trama na Seção 18, no lado leste da estrada. Seu túmulo grandes, supostamente comprado por Eric Clapton, tem uma imagem de um violão e gaita gravadas nele.

Megadeth also covered "I Ain't Superstitious" on their album Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? in the same form as Jeff Beck's version.

Both The Yardbirds and The Animals covered "Smokestack Lightning" in 1964 and 1966 respectively.

Little Feat covered "Forty-Four Blues / How Many More Years" for their first, self titled album, Little Feat

"Smokestack Lightning" served as the basis for The Kinks song "Last of the Steam Powered Trains" on their 1968 album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society.

Led Zeppelin covered "Killing Floor" in 1968-69 concerts and used the song as the basis for "The Lemon Song" on Led Zeppelin II. "Smokestack Lightning" and "How Many More Years" served as partial blueprints for "How Many More Times" on their 1969 debut album.

The Doors covered "Back Door Man" for their first, self titled album, The Doors

The Electric Prunes regularly covered "Smokestack Lightnin'" in their live shows, a recording of which can be found on their Stockholm '67 LP.

The Electric Flag recorded "Killing Floor" on their first album, with Buddy Miles and Michael Bloomfield, both students of Wolf.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience covered "Killing Floor" at a BBC Saturday Club radio session in 1967, a recording of which is available on their 1998 BBC Sessions compilation, and opened with it at the Monterey Pop Festival (also in 1967). This song also served as the first jam between Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton with the Cream when they first met at The Polytechnic in London in 1966.

Guitar legend Mike Bloomfield used a brassy, driving arrangement of "Killing Floor" to launch the debut album by his Electric Flag, A Long Time Comin'. This track began with a brief excerpt from a speech by then-U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, then recorded applause and laughter, before the group began to play the introduction to their version. The Electric Flag also included a second Wolf cover, "Goin' Down Slow," on the same album. ,

Cream also covered one of his songs on their double-album Wheels of Fire. (They also covered his song, "Spoonful", on their Fresh Cream debut album; an extended concert version appears on Wheels.) On the first (studio) disc, Cream covered "Sitting on Top of the World". This song has also been covered by Bob Dylan in the 1992 album Good as I been to you. Howlin' Wolf's own version was a cover of the 1930 classic original by the Mississippi Sheiks.

Eric Clapton's subsequent band, Derek and the Dominos, included a cover of Wolf's "Evil" as part of a planned second album that was never completed before the quartet split up. "Evil" was one of the surviving tracks from that project that turned up on the Clapton box set, Crossroads, in 1988.

Soundgarden covered "Smokestack Lightning" on their first album Ultramega OK.

Clutch covered "Who's Been Talking" on their 2005 release Robot Hive/Exodus.

Vaughan also played "Shake for me" (written by W.Dixon) on the live album In the Beginning, even copying the original guitar solo, played by Hubert Sumlin and "I'm Leaving You (Commit a Crime)" can be found from Live-Alive album. Vaughan also covers the song "Tail Dragger" on a few live bootlegs.

George Thorogood covered "Highway 49" and "Smokestack Lightning" on Born to be Bad in 1988. He also covered "Howlin' for My Baby" in 1993 on Haircut.

On The Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD, "Killing Floor" was performed by Hubert Sumlin, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Jimmie Vaughan. It is quite possible that the guitar riff from the song was written by Sumlin.

The Dead also performed "Little Red Rooster," "Wang Dang Doodle," "I Ain't Superstitious," "Meet Me In The Bottom" and "Sitting on Top of the World" at various points in their career.

Cactus recorded their version of the song "Evil" on their 1971 album Restrictions. It also appeared on their best-of album entitled Cactology.

Monster Magnet performed Cactus' arrangement of "Evil" on their 1993 album, Superjudge

The Who often included a fragment of Smokestack Lightning in a medley with their cover of Johnny Kidd's Shakin' All Over. The "Smokestack Lightning" extract was edited out of the version of "Shakin' All Over" that appeared on the album Live At Leeds . . . but a medley of "Shakin'" with an extract from "Spoonful" turned up on The Who Live at the Isle of Wight.

The Radiators recorded "Sittin' On Top Of The World" on their live double CD Earth vs. The Radiators: the First 25. They have covered many Howlin' Wolf songs in their 4200 known live performances.
