great sound!!! robert lucus is great.i think the "bear"and the "owl" would be proud.jimi hendrix studied henry vistine and now that he's gone too we will miss him.canned heat has gone through many changes in members but the one thing that has stayed consistent is that ALL the new members were big fans of the band before they joined,including robert lucas.this CD is well written and has a great sound; ain't no madonna here!!!

Canned Heat was one of the fourmost boogie/blues bands from the 60's. These guys are for real. They lived the blues. This is an excellent CD and I would recommend listening to other CH CD's as well if you are a blues/rock lover as I am. This is a superb set.

I cannot for the life of me find a thing wrong or amiss with this cd. I've been playing it for years and always love it. I know all about Canned Heat's tragic and illustrious past, and I'm not knocking those old records (most of them were great); but, it should be said by someone - the Canned Heat albums beginning with "Reheated" straight to the present - leave the old ones in the dust. Leaving behind the excessive reverence for the past (if you can, and you know who you are), there's one thing that has never changed about this band. And that is their love, respect and sheer mastery of the blues. This particular album is quite possibly the band's greatest work so far. It would seem quite odd for anyone who likes the blues to dislike this cd. And 'Iron Horse', the third track, is hands-down the single greatest Canned Heat blues boogie to date. Check out "Blues Band" by Canned Heat, one of the greatest bands on the planet.

I am writing this from memory, since I have long since dumped this bad CD. Don't believe the glowing reviews!! This is not the band you think it is. It has no resemblance to the classic, or later Bob Hite lineups. There is no electric bass. You get my drift. It's poorly recorded, and very dead sounding. It's not Canned Heat!! What they are doing is putting down progressive/blues rock music. They are saying, we know we are inferior white artists, but we learned our lesson, and we are now doing THE REAL THING. At least this is what I feel, right or wrong. Go get Savoy Brown. They are even better now than their classic stuff. Read my Amazon reviews.
