Post Description
A hard-luck blues band of the '60s, Canned Heat was founded by blues historians and record collectors
Alan Wilson and Bob Hite. They seemed to be on the right track and played all the right festivals
(including Monterey and Woodstock, making it very prominently into the documentaries about both) but
somehow never found a lasting audience.
Certainly their hearts were in the right place. Canned Heat's debut album -- released shortly after their
appearance at Monterey -- was every bit as deep into the roots of the blues as any other combo of the
time mining similar turf, with the exception of the original Paul Butterfield band. Hite was nicknamed
"The Bear" and stalked the stage in the time-honored tradition of Howlin' Wolf and other large-
proportioned bluesmen. Wilson was an extraordinary harmonica player, with a fat tone and great
vibrato. His work on guitar, especially in open tunings (he played on Son House's rediscovery recordings
of the mid-'60s, incidentally) gave the band a depth and texture that most other rhythm players could
only aspire to. Henry Vestine -- another dyed-in-the-wool record collector -- was the West Coast's answer
to Michael Bloomfield and capable of fretboard fireworks at a moment's notice.
