WELL LET ME CLUE YOU IN A LITTLE BIT ON MAYBE WHY!! THESE RECORD COMPANIES, AND EVEN THE BANDS OWN AGENTS AND MANAGERS,GET ALMOST ALL THE MONEY AND GIVE THE BANDS ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF WHAT SAID BANDS[ not just canned heat but almost ALL BANDS. ] REALLY SHOULD GET !! ONLY THE VERY BIGGEST BANDS BECOME WELL OFF !!! BECAUSE THEY WISE UP AND START PRODUCING THEIR OWN RECORDS AND CUTTING OUT THE RIP YOU OFF MIDDLEMEN, WHO GET THEIR CROOKED HANDS ON THEIR (BAND'S) MONEY FIRST!! ALLOUGHT OF BIG-BIG BANDS HAVE GONE THROUGH IT. IT, S A THING AND PRACTICE VERY WELL KNOWN IN THE MUSIC INDUSYRY! A BAND HAS A BIG HIT THATS MADE MILLON,S AND THE BAND ASK,S ' WERE,S THE MONEY AND THE BAND S AGENT SAYS"WELL YOU SEE IT HAS TO GO THRU CERTINE STEPS AT THE RECORD CO,IT TAKES TIME" ALL THE WHILE HE,S TAKEN THE BANDS MONEY AND PADDING HIS TAX FREE BANK ACCOUNT IN THE CARRIBAN OR SOMEPLACE!!! THE BAND IS KEPT IN THE DARK ABOUT ALL THE FINANCINS !!!! THE BAND,S ONLY GET A SMALL %OF WHAT THEY REALLY SHOLD GET!!!!! I SAW A REPORT ON THIS VERY SUBJECT ON TV NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUTSOME BIG BAND WHO HAD A PRETTY BIG HIT AND ONLY RECEIVED 300 DOLLARS,AND FOUND OUT THEIR AGENT OR MANAGERS WERE PUTTING THE MONEY "THE BANDS MONEY " IN THE AGENTS OVER SEAS BANK ACCT. COMMEN PRACTICE IN THE RECORD INDUSTRY!! Get THIS---- I KNEW A GUY WHO WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF CANNED HEATS DRUMMER FITO ( ONLY SURVING MEMBER ) THIS GUY OWNED A MOTOR CYCLE REPAIR AND RESTORATION SHOP IN THE W. VALLEY. FITO TOLD HIM. [THEY F--- YOU, THEY REALLY F--- YOU MAN !!!!! WITH MUCH ANGER AND EMOTION!!!! HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE RECORD INDUSTRIES, I WAS TOLD! THAT COULD BE ENOUGH TO MAKE JUST ABOUT ANYONE FEEL A BIT DEPRESSED!!!!

Well - i wouldn't have known it was called this when i was young,, but i was exposed to about 4 different types of throat singing. my father's mom was from Finland, and they have the kenning that they'd do on the farm. on my mother's side the Cree that have their throat singing - again the women. But i grew up friends with a young man from arkinsaw and he loved Canned Heat -and he could do all sorts of stuff with his voice. he was the lead singers in my fathers band. I realize now he was doing hill singing. My friend in BC does over tone throat singing-interesting but a bit scary all most. I can do very low resonant throat singing - nothing high.

One of my life's theam songs. I had just came back from Vietnam to Kansas City in 1968 for a year of sex, drugs and rock and roll. On the road again taking Route 66 to California and boarding a plane to Bangkok with a backpack to travel the country passing through Laos and Cambodia before returning home to Shreveport and on to LSU. Never stopped, asked myself many times, where would be next year. Now 77 and living in Thailand and planning to see Vietnam again where the journey started. This song brought it all back, listening to it again

I was lucky enough to see Canned Heat & Dr John at Central Pk summer 72. For the 2009-40th Woodstock anniversary I saw them with Fito on drums, Larry on bass and Harvey The Snake on guitar. Although Harvey wasn't an orig member he was a member when they played at 1969 Woodstock. Larry passed away 2 yrs ago and Harvey has medical issues preventing him from touring. Fito started with the band in 1967 and has been on every tour & album since. Keep on rockin Fito.

Love ya' Blind Owl ! Rest in peace buddy .

I always loved this song an just to see the band sing this song live,makes it that much more special.ive read the death of Al Wilson hit the band hard,an I can understand that now,what talented musician he was,he never really got a chance to show his full potential as a musician,it saddens me to this day just to think about the way he had actually died but the music will always live on r.i.p blind owl r.i.p Bob"the bear"hite,my mom just loved canned heat especially "let's work together" that's how I first got into them as a kid growing up!!!!

Awesome melody, lyrics, tempo, singing and harmonica. Singer is mesmerizing w his voice in alto to base notes, making the harmonica sing.

a song lost in much of the modern generation, sadly ....but what an outstanding brilliant song ...played it a million times during the 1980's...top shelf cool music..🍃🕊⚡️

I'm just learning about this guy tonight, but I always loved these songs. Short tragic life. Makes sense he's doing a skip James vocal thing. One of the forgotten giants of the blues.

There is this song that was released in 69, with Woodstock and lead guitar change And smash hit Going up the country this song was eclipsed. Poor moon - shows the lyric writing concerns about blind owl, blues, Country blues from de Delta Mississippi and Ecology, Not sex and money. I really be alive this is a great song, a great Alan song. Canned is just like on the road again, Alan, drums and bass. No Vestine or Mándela, neither Bob. Just Alan and rhythm guitar. It is a moon trip listening to this marvelous song.

My favorite Canned Heat song.

Once upon a time there were black blues players who drank sterno (canned heat) to get drunk. Wood Alcohol makes you go blind. Then a band named "Canned Heat" had a tribute band named after the great blind blues players. Blind Owl led his band to the greatest tribute band to these pioneer blues players. R.I.P to you all. Still the greatest after all these decades.
