Biography

The American blues rock band Canned Heat, were formed in 1965 in California. They are probably best known for Al 'Blind Owl' Wilson's distinctive high pitched vocals, singing "Goin' up the Country" and "On the Road Again".

They released their self titled debut album after an appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, but it was their follow-ups that brought them their greatest success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably their BEST live outing...no joke!, July 12, 2002
This review is from: Boogie Up the Country (Audio CD)
It may take some searching to find this title, since it's out of print, but if you can find it for [$$] or less, please don't pass it up. This Heat lineup absolutely burned and boogied, and James T. was a great frontman who did The Bear proud. (He also played a mean slide.) Also, I disagree with the previous reviewer about sound problems with this release. I'm no major audiophile, but as far as live recordings go of bar/club shows, this sounds great. Every instument/vocal is easily heard and there is no muddiness, as he stated.

4.0 out of 5 stars buy this baby, July 26, 2003

WVCA fan (Rockport, Ma.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boogie Up the Country (Audio CD)
A live recording from W. Germany finds three original members with the addition of James Thornbury who handles a burnin' slide guitar as well as fine vocals. The recording quality is fine, forget that one star rating. As a quartet, the Heat are lean and Vestine is sizzlin' like high fat burgers on a high HEAT grill. This is unpretensious recording is a delight for any Heat fan as they pay homage to traditional songs as well as a few of their standards. You even get Larry playing an upright bass. Recorded in October 1987.

4.0 out of 5 stars Henry and Larry together after 17 years, July 5, 2001
By 
This review is from: Boogie Up the Country (Audio CD)
This is a good live recording from the fall of 1987. At that time Canned Heat was a four piece band, including three members (Fito de la Parra, Henry Vestine and Larry Taylor) from "the classical lineup" in the late sixties. Seventeen years earlier, just before the Woodstock festival, Larry Taylor had refused to ever again appear on the same stage with Henry Vestine, but he obviously changed his mind. This album was also the first album that singer/guitarrist/harmonica player James Thornbury recorded with Canned Heat. Thornbury fronted the band until 1995, when he was replaced by Robert Lucas (who in turn was replaced by Dallas Hodge in 2000). The album includes decent versions of their hits with some new material. My personal favorite is the last song "Boogie", which sounds just as good as it ever did in the 60s.
