A blues rock masterpiece, now issued for the first time on audiophile vinyl in North America!
The iconic Canned Heat are an American blues and rock music treasure. Their importance and ever growing legion of worldwide fans is second to none. Their music has been an inspiration to many as their definitive catalog of albums and hit singles have stood the test of time. Formed by fellow blues enthusiasts and record collectors Bob 'The Bear' Hite Jr. and Alan 'Blind Owl' Wilson, they were one of the first rock bands to successfully translate the country blues of icons like Robert Johnson, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker and others to a whole new audience.
Canned Heat became the toast of the hippie generation in the 1960s, culminating with their headline appearance at the Woodstock festival in August of 1969. Their music not only rocked, but it also foretold future concerns about the environment, the human condition, the economy, and the somber effects of wars. For several years, Canned Heat along and their fellow bluesman John Lee Hooker had been playing shows together but never recorded an album with each other, that was until the folks at Liberty Records awarded their favorite boogie band the opportunity to cut a double album extravaganza with Hooker aptly titled Hooker ‘N Heat.
The session first two sides featured John Lee Hooker shouting the blues and tapping his feet, while cleverly placing microphones all over to the studio to catch every nuance and beat of this sorely missed blues master. Listen to the man do his thing on "Messin With The Hook," "You Talk Too Much" and "Meet Me In The Bottom." In addition to Hooker, the late great Alan Wilson would also be featured on harp and piano for several of these amazingly raw solo tracks. As fate would have it, his gentle spirit soon departed, making these the Blind Owl’s final commercial recordings.
The remaining sides feature the full Canned Heat band and John Lee Hooker laying down some of the finest rock and blues boogie ever recorded. With the combination of Bob Hite manning the mixing board with Skip Taylor, Henry Vestine’s atomic lead guitar, Fito de la Parra’s powerful boogie beat, the dynamic Alan Wilson on guitar and harmonica, Tony de la Barreda’s bass and John Lee Hooker’s tenacious vocal and guitar, there never was or will be a more incredible display of the boogie ever caught on wax. Just check out the groove of "Let’s Make It," the jump blues of the hit single "Whisky and Wimmen" or the battle royal boogie of "Boogie Chillen No. 2."
In addition to the hard rocking boogie music contained on this stunning release, to celebrate this limited edition album, Friday Music is also including the original gatefold cover which hasn’t been issued for decades, plus a poly lined sleeve to protect each of your vinyl albums and a poly bag to keep your album cover in mint condition.
