A Canned Heat 1968-as dupla albuma talán az első kettős lemez volt, én legalábbis nem emlékszem rá hogy lett volna előtte ilyen. Akár volt, akár nem, a lemez nagyon jó.A banda: Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson - Guitar, Vocals, Harp, Chromatic Harmonica, Jaw Harp; Larry "The Mole" Taylor - Bass, Conga; Henry "Sunflower" Vestine - Guitar; Fito De la Parra - Drums és Bob "The Bear" Hite -Vocals.
Comentar "On The Road Again" de Canned Heat es algo que siempre proporciona placer a alguien que ama la buena música independientemente del estilo en la que se la clasifique. Creo que este es mi caso, así que hoy toca disfrutar.Canned Heat fue una banda de blues y rock formada en Los Angeles en 1965. Su mayor contribución fue el boogie, rítmico, poderoso y enérgico que supieron interpretar en
1965-ben találkozott három megszállott blues-kedvelő zenész: Alan C. Wilson, akit szódásüveg-talp szemüvege miatt csak Vak Bagoly (Blin' Owl) néven ismertek, és aki szájharmonikán, gitáron és zongorán játszott s énekelt; a hatalmas termetű Bob Hite, a Medve (The Bear) aki énekelt, de ha kellett gitározott is és Henry Vestin gitáros, a Napraforgó (Sunflower). Zenekaruk, a Canned Heat zenéjében egészen egyedülálló módon vegyítette a hagyományos blues, az elektromos rock és a boogie elemeit. A zenekar fénykora 1967-70 közé esik, s bár a banda kisebb-nagyobb megszakításokkal ma is koncertezik, az alapítók közül már senki nem él: Wilson 1970-ben máig tisztázatlan körülmények között, kábítószer túladagolás miatt halt meg, Hite 1981-ben szívrohamban, Vestin pedig 1997-ben egy párizsi koncert másnapján halt meg.Ez az album a fénykor felvételeiből ad válogatást.A számok:01.Big Road Blues02.Can't Hold On03.Got My Mojo Working

Number 937Canned Heat"Going Up To The Country".(1968)Genre:RockAh yes, can we really skip the "Woodstock" genre? No wayWhy?Because it gave music definition to a generation desperately seeking Susan. If you don't believe me ask a hippy sometime, they thrive and rejoice Woodstock. One thing is for sure you will never see that again, and that is a shame.Canned Heat came up with this wee ditty (Going Up To The Country) back in '68, if you have never heard of it, just get it. It is infectious, lackadaisical and halcyon (big words yes, but that's why i put a dictionary on the right hand side for ya) If your toes don't start tapping and you doing bad falsetto singing you can eat your brothers hat."One of the primary factors in the package's commercial success was their update of Henry Thomas' "Going Down South," which they turned into the breezy "Goin' Up the Country." The song not only became one of their biggest hits, it was also used in the Woodstock (1970) documentary and a live v
Canned Heat - On the road again (1989)(Re-Post)256kbps This 15-track single-disc collection was culled from Canned Heat (1967), Boogie With Canned Heat (1968), Living the Blues (1968), Hallelujah (1969), and Future Blues (1970). Arguably, Canned Heat Cookbook (1969) -- a hits package in its own right -- could be lumped in since it was the first full-length platter with "Going Up the Country," which was initially only issued on a 45-rpm single. During this era, the Heat was inhabited by Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/vocals), Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass), Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar), and Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals). Frank Cook (drums) contributed to the band's self-titled debut prior to being replaced by Aldolfo "Fito" de la Parra (drums), who remained as the combo's sole purveyor into the 1990s. One of the things separating the material on this title is the integration of the extended musical memoir "Fried Hockey Boogie," featuring Hite front and center as he introduces ea
Canned Heat - Hallelujah (1968)256kbps With Bob Hite and Alan Wilson switching off on vocals, Canned Heat delivered as consistent a blues product as George Thorogood, only with more diversity and subtle musical nuances keeping the listener involved. "Same All Over" breaks no new ground, opening up the Hallelujah disc, but the enthusiasm and reverence the band has for the genre is special. Al Wilson's distinctive voice -- heard on two Top 20 hit records in 1968 -- is enhanced with his eerie whistling on "Change My Ways" and the wonderfully ragged instrumentation. The way the keys bubble up under the guitars, it would have been a natural for these guys to groove their way into a Grateful Dead-style jam band thing, but two vocalists dying within an 11-year span is a bit much for any ensemble. The name Canned Heat is so cool that it becomes the title of the third song. "Canned Heat" is a pretty accurate description of what they play, and the bluesy, slow Bob Hite vocal works wonders over
