Canned Heat - The Best of Canned Heat [EMI]

This ten-track set contains essential sides from the classic rock blues and boogie combo Canned Heat, culled from their first four long-players: Canned Heat (1967), Boogie With Canned Heat (1968), Living The Blues [akarma] (1968), and Hallelujah (1969). Notably, this discounts Canned Heat Cookbook (1969), a hits package that cashed in on their association with the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, and was the first LP to contain the single "Going up the Country." The core personnel during this seminal run includes Alan "blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/vocals), Larry "the Mole" Taylor (bass), Henry "sunflower" Vestine (guitar), and Bob "the Bear" Hite (vocals). Read More...
