Performer: Canned Heat
Distributor: Ryko Distribution Notes: Audio Remasterer: Joe Reagoso. Liner Note Author: Adolfo de la Parra. While the first volume of this retrospective contained their biggest hit and signature tune "Goin' Up The Country," volume two collects 17 further tracks from the brief but brilliant life of Canned Heat, including "Mercury Blues" and "I Love My Baby."
One of the premier blues bands of the 1960s, Canned Heat's boogie-tinged take on the style reached a wide audience following its appearance at Woodstock. The band grew more popular after being prominently featured in the subsequent WOODSTOCK documentary film and on the companion album. Although they never achieved superstar status, Canned Heat's influence can be heard in a wide variety of bands--from ZZ Top to Phish--who place a shuffling, bluesy groove front and center.
