A Moanin’ in the Moonlight az amerikai blueszenész, Howlin' Wolf debütáló nagylemeze, amelyet a Chess Records jelentetett meg 1959-ben. Valójában egy válogatásalbum, amely az énekes 1951 és 1959 között kislemezként kiadott, mérföldkőnek számító számait gyűjti egybe. A kiadvány az elektromos Chicago blues egyik legmeghatározóbb és legnagyobb hatású alapműve. 

Kulcsfontosságú információk az albumról 

• Stílus: A nyers, sötét tónusú delta blues és a modern, hangos városi elektromos blues tökéletes fúziója.
• Közreműködők: Wolf védjegyének számító, elementáris erejű üvöltése és zseniális mulaszájharmonika-játéka mellett Hubert Sumlin korszakalkotó gitárjátéka és Willie Dixon dalszerzői/produceri munkája határozza meg a lemezt.

Recorded May 14 or August 1951 – March 1959 Memphis Recording Service (Memphis), Chess (Chicago)
