Late 60s psycho delic blues rock. I always loved the groove to this song!
The singer Alan Wilson was really an interesting guy. He was extremely introverted, smart, and taught himself to play multiple instruments. Some say he was on the autism spectrum. His vocal style is very high, in the style John Lee Hooker. These guys are very much into the old school blues artists. The lyrics reflect it, and if you listen to the best and rhythm of this song its much the same as ZZ Top's 'La Grange'.
It blew my balls off when I discovered the Hooker 'n Heat album. Legend meets legends
Other songs by Canned Heat are Let's Work Together and Going Up The Country. They are worth checking out.
I remember sprit in the sky! My teen years! Awsome!
I forgot to add Amphetamine Annie.
a great blues band. Another band that is similar is Rare Earth
Refried Hockey Boogie is one of the best jams
Yes, you brought up some great songs. Every time I hear Going up the Country, I am back in my your in 1969. sweet
Canned Heat performed "On the Road Again" on the Woodstock stage at sunset 8/16/69.
"She said Lord have mercy on my wicked son."
That's BAD ASS.
Takes you back to the time when music was 'organic'. 100% human voice and instrumentation. No synthetic sound effects.
Canned Heat! Alright my time!
When you get right down to it, it's all the blues. Another good example is "Goin' Up The Country".
Alan Wilson, the singer died in 1970 of a drug overdose. Within a month Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin had also passed, all at the age of 27.
He had a really unusual voice.
"Blind" Al Wilson.
@@1oconto "Blind Owl" : )
Well I guess that's why we haven't seen him lately/ he left behind some great music/it's hard in these incidences not to wonder what might have been/This and "Goin' Up The Country" are great road songs, and represent what Donovan called "The Hippie Manifesto", that whole era,to me/rest in peace or,if you've reincarnated,may you have great peace and happiness wherever you are brother
Oconto1 Karbon Blind Owl
In reality that harmonica was played by the singer. Alan 'Blind Owl' Wilson, which I Idee love.
RIP, dear friend. You had to go away far, far too young.
Still awful missed, though more than fifty years have passed.
Amen.
Indeed. Great song, but not the best video to accurately show the band. A trivial knock, to be sure; it's the music that's important, not the vid!
If you’ve seen the movie, Forrest Gump, their song, Lets Work Together is in it. It’s on New Years Eve and Lt. Dan and Gump are celebrating. You should give it a listen.
This song when it came out opened ears what a neat groove and droning bluesy chords in the background. Quite unique for that time and Alan Wilsons voice was so different too that added to it. I remember this song vividly. My older brother went to Woodstock and saw them there .I was too young, well my parents thought so,LOLL! couldnt go. But I did see them at the Fillmore East after that.....Glenn
Smiling at you.watching this...I grew up.with this group. Liked the beat on this. Was a very popular song for them...
Awesome song and band
Going Up The Country is another good one by them
This is a lip sync done for tv. The guy singing is Alan Wilson, aka The Blind Owl. He was a harmonica virtuoso who also played the harmonica on the recording. He also played the unusual instrument heard during the opening. Can't remember what it is called. He's a member of the dead at 27 club. I would have loved to heard what he would have done had he lived longer. Quite a loss.
It was a tambura that you're thinking of. A Middle eastern musical instrument.
Nonsense.
My favorite song to smoke pot to when I was in high school in the early 1970's. We were so innocent but we knew good music when we heard it.
It was the opening song in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swazie analog sound is the root of rock and rill
Canned heat was such a cool band they came out with a lot of great classic rock songs they were underrated band
Canned Heat played with blues legend John Lee Hooker. BOOM BOOM and ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH , AND ONE BEER are some of his best known songs.
Hooker 'n Heat is a great album, essential if you're into blues.
Made even more famous by the film done from Woodstock open air festival 1969 where this was used as a theme song.
The British heavy/hard rock band Deep Purple picked the rhytm for their smash hit Black Night from this song, told by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore himself.
***MRM*** THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THIS SONG, this video was cut short for a TV show, there are better long versions on TH-cam....... These guys played at the first WOODSTOCK 1969 ..... This is the first song on my Harley Davidson CD Player, its great to listen to on a long country ride! .... CANNED HEAT, also have a hit song called "GOING UP THE COUNTRY" It was used in many movies. .... Canned Heat is known as a BIKER BAND like Steppenwolf. ..... The singers name is Alan Wilson, aka "BLIND Owl Wilson" who died from an overdose while sitting in the woods behind the house he rented. ... RIP Blind Owl Wilson
You obviously have impeccable taste.
Thanks Mr. Roach, I thought the harmonica player was the one who died but also thought it could have been the singer. Now I know. Thanks for giving his name also.
Isn't the harmonica player Bob Hite? Didn't he die from an overdose as well?
@@patvail6414 I just read up on the band. Alan Wilson was the harmonica player and Bob Hite was the vocalist. Both members died of drug overdoses but years apart.
@@jameskirschling7887 but in the video he played Wilson was the vocalist and the harmonica player seems to be Hite. Yes i knew it was years apart.
Personally I think what you mean is the music 🎵 back then seemed to have more feeling and these band were not manufactured a lot of them struggled going from new gig to another not like the bands and singers today 🎵love your channel and a happy new year to you and yours 🙏🏽😊🥰
They were fabulous and live was the best ! So yes they have a sound and vibe you will never forget , it was such a cool era , simple love of the out doors and chilling together with friends ,playing great music ,, 🎶 ❤
The dude who looked like Chris Stapleton was Bob Hite. Unfortunately, he died young of a heroin overdose back in the 1970s.
Check out the connection between Alan Wilson and the late great Son House. Alan sought out Son House in the 60's and taught him to play his own songs again. Alan was responsible for the return of Son House during the "folk" revival of the 60's. Canned Heat was named after a 1928 Tommy Johnson song, 'Canned Heat Blues. Canned heat was a product like Sterno, very high in alcohol, available during the Prohibition years.
...and this track is a Tommy Johnson cover.
It has a smokey, fog coming in, vibe. Their other songs are great.
A time of some of the best music ever! Happy New Year blessings! I enjoy your videos!
Canned Heat is one of the best Blues bands in existence! ton's of GREAT music from this band! this is a poor sound quality recording ..explore for more!
On The Road Again (Canned Heat). I remember when this song was first released in the late 60s or 70.I loved it then. I have not heard much of it since but I still love it's groove today. Listening though head phones you can hear what a great recording and mix they got. Whats missing here is the intro and outro. At the intro and all though the song there is a droning Indian tambura. Over that is played six ascending harmónic notes on the Electric guitar and then the band come in as one on that Road groove and we, re off. The harmonica sets the scene for a great and únique Alan Wilson vocals as only he could and we are into this tale of woe, which is sang like only Alan Wilson and nobody else could sing it. It's delivered with a hynotic bluesy feel from start to finish. When the band fades at the outro, we are left with the same droning tambura.At the outro we are left with only the droning Tambura as the Electric guitar plays the same six notes, only this time they are descending to the closing last note as the Tambura fades out. A perfect ending to a perfect bluesy recording. By the way, the six intro guitar notes are panned R to L and at the outro it's the opposite and theyre are panned L to R. Thats attention to detail for you. I love this track and the band and it's playing. This band is top class and one of the best Ive ever heard. Ive only heard the Tambura used once before and that was on "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Beatles) from the Revólver álbum in Europe. Theres a sad note to this. Singer /Guitarist on this track joined the infamous 27club a year or two after this track went to the top of the charts around the world. . He was only getting warmed up. RIP.. Alan (Blind Owl) Wilson.. Another suberb bluesmaster who left us way too soon.
I always liked this song. I couldn't understand 50% of the words, which made it really exciting to sing along with . . but always bopped and hummed along. It was "groooovy, man!"
I saw them open at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. You gotta listen to the live film from there of Janis Joplin singing Ball and Chain. It’s when she was discovered and became the queen of rock.
Their song "Going Up The Country" has been used a lot recently in commercials by Geico.
This song was played on the Patrick Swayze's movie Roadhouse n it was perform by Jeff Healy n his band. Great movie n great soundtrack.
The singer looks like the drummer of Santana on Woodstock playing "Soul Sacrifice".
Back in the day us Hippies were big on freedom. Under some foreign substance urge we would just take off and go somewhere. Buy a $25 car, go as far as it would take us. Hitchhike cross country. Take a menial job here and there to restock the inventory. Jammin all the way. Drove the old folks nuts. We were free. Saw a lot of concerts, performances. Made a lot of friends. Changed the social and political culture in the country along the way. It was a great time. Check out Neil Young. The most prolific songwriter of a generation, maybe, all time.
Never saw that footage before. They were so young. What a great band Canned Heat was. It's funky.
Great driving song
I've been subscribed to your channel for a couple years now, and first let me say I love the content and I'm 100% on board with the message being delivered. The point of this comment is though to say that you may very well have the most suppressed channel on all of you know who tube. This video popped up just because it so happened that I felt like hearing some Canned Heat. I didn't specifically search you, but when I saw you had reacted to them I of course had to check it out. Then I think to myself, it's odd I haven't heard from Ty for a minute, so I hop over to videos and you have put out 6 or 8 of them since the last notification I've gotten of one. I'll check them out, but also, I'll just keep that in mind and remember to see if you have a new video up every couple of days... Peace, much love and respect to you, and I'm hoping the best for you and yours this new year
I hope back to the 60/70 times, to me the beginnings of rock and some very talented musicians!
I love Canned Heat! On the Road Again is what I play on a road trip. Blind Owl was awesome - sorry that he left us at such an early age! It's also good to walk to ... gets a good stride going! This dude knows nothing.
Canned Heat, named after a song from Tommy Johnson, one of those great early blues guys.
For us people in the 60's and 70's that got up and travelled around North America....memories.
The seventies were way more analogue.
theduderabides Lol, that’s all they had. Couldn’t touch it up with pro tools and shit. What it sounded like in the studio was what u got on the records
you mean real.
I'm with Anita Sweeta - Please play "War". "WAR - (huh) - What is it good for? ABSOLUTELY NUTHIN'!" Happy New Year Ms. Sweeta - great recommendation.
This is how white musicians in the sixties saved the black mans' music, the Blues, when black people had forgotten it. Canned Heat was a Blues band and with Al Wilson (RIP) created some classic new sounds rooted in traditional material. Check Skip James doing Hard Time Killin' floor live in Europe.
Just turned on my radio to Sirius Radio, and this one came up! I wondered if anyone had done this, and wham! Here you are...great shuffle and boogie tune!
Another all time favorite 60's local LA band - Canned Heat! Blind Owl and the Bear. I'm not surprised that you say music of that era has a certain feeling. I still feel it when I listen to it now.
Time traveling brings forth the ambiance of those times and blends it with the genius of the music
Canned Heat is one of the BEST blues bands in history! you need to listen to ALL their albums, this song is just teaser!1
I saw Canned Heat at a club in the Bay Area in the 70s.
Saw Canned Heat live at Gulf Stream Park in S. FL in the late 60's. Awesome
Brings me back...walk to beach. Slaps, Hawaiian Silkies over our bikinis, our boards under our arm, beach towel hanging off R boards. Back chair over opposite shoulder. Stop... Check waves... 14th st, 17th st, south side... music blasting loud enough to hear even surfing, pier lifeguard towers made sure of that. slaps, Hawaiian silkies over our suits. Nice sweet sets coming. Wax down the board. Slip off the silkies & shorts, grab board... Run into water, pass a few breakers, hop on board... Then paddle out, sit and wait for a good sets.Theyll come quickly, storm in Mexico is sending some nice swells. In meantime listening to Canned Heart, Steppin Wolf, Under The Boardwalk, Jan & Dean, Honk, Beach Boys. Just chill in waiting for that fun set. Start surfing. Few hours, ride in, get towel, back board set. Grab a smoothie at Georges Surf Center. Avacado Sandwhich, beach strips with melted cheese. Pop a squat. Keeping it South Side, time for siesta laying in sand, cocoa butter, spray bottle, hot surfer boys flying by, drooling for some good sets.. Sun starts to go down. Grab your things, walk home to your app segment you share with 2 other girls who surf. Shower, shampoo, mist of Hawaiian flower. Put silkies on, short Muslim shorts, slaps, walk down stair into sidewalk. Next corner 2 choices. The Golden Brat... Great bands. (Honk)Famous ones too! Our little secret, or The Surf Theater, watch surf flick (Five Summer Stories) with insane surf music. Either choice you can loose. Then hit a local beach party. Someone was always having one. 🌴shhh, my youth, days of OC Ca. Summers in the beach... Heaven!! Thanks Ty
No one else sounded quite like them it was an adventure
The first time I saw this video on French TV, in 1968 or 1969, I was hypnotized by this group
Bear playing harmonica 60s again ten years of best music. Ever. You dont know what ya missed
Actually, in this video, they were faking to the studio track. "Blind Owl was singing, playing guitar, and playing harmonica. (may he RIP). Bear was making it look good...lol.
There is an LP Canned Heat did with John Lee Hooker, and I could swear they also did an LP with Albert King, but I can't find it in my music. Some of the cuts are epic. Over the years many blues guitarists played with the Canned Heat before they went out on their own. The band members have changed over the years, but trust me, they were a big deal back in the late 60's.
The inventors of Psychedelic Blues
Lead singer Alan Wilson died at 27. 2 weeks before Jimi Hendrix died at 27, 4 weeks before Janis Joplin died at 27. Brian Jones died at 27, and Jim Morrison died at (u guessed it) 27! All in a 3 yr span from 1969 to 1971.
RIP Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson
I think that one of the members of CH, was the brother of Bob Bogle, of The Ventures...
Blues with a feeling. That's what you are hearing.
I submit that there's no such thing as Blues without feeling!
Another suggestion for Gary Moore is a song called Parisian Walkways. Very emotional, very technical. Canned heat has a cool remake of a blues song called Let's Work Together. Thanks for all the cool insights
Whoa....memories. Please play "War" by Edwin Starr.
Uhhh, What is it good for......
"good God y'all"
No doubt. Crazy good!!
Always loved this song!!
This is different, there is a simple yet hypnotic feel in this song.
Straight out Hippie music and Viet Nam era music. That's the feel you are you are sensing. That time had a feel to it like no other time did.
GEICO uses their song "Going Up Country" in the motorcycle insurance ads.
Love canned heat! Going up the country!
One of those songs that I just can't keep my feet from tapping to...
I see commercials now and think "I don't think that motorcycle insurance was what they had in mind when this was written"
"And I ain't goin' down that, down that old lonesome road all by myself...."
Great jam from the past! Dig it!
Great old Blues song. Canned Heat....Good Job.
Digital took the raw feel out of the music. Analog if you want to hear it all.
I saw these guys twice back in the day. Kind of bland onstage. Not like the Allman Brothers or Santana, or even Mountain, nonetheless Jimi. But fun. The Allman Brothers were just so head and shoulders above these guys in this genre. Such an exciting live act.
As this plays, you can almost smell the weed burning.
It's not a drug song. He wasn't listening to the lyrics. Canned Heat was a great band in its day with a unique sound. These songs made me want to jump on my Triumph and go somewhere.
Canned Heat, What the f4546 YOU ARE MY DUDE FOR REACTIONS. Love Canned Heat. The singer and harmonica player , they called him the bear, Awesome my bro.
this lead singer of Canned Heat whose voice sounds like hot chocolate with whipped cream......died the night I was born. 09 03 1970.
Canned heat, named for the way Bear played the harmonica. It was like canned heat. All harmonica players have a special sound to the way they play. They have their own special sound. Paul Butterfield, and Bear from Canned Heat , were the best white harmonica players ever. Maybe even the best harmonica players ever, of any color. Canned Heat made an album with the great Blues Man John Lee Hooker. They loved him and his music, and he loved jamming with them too. Canned heat brings back a lot of good memories. They exposed a lot of white boys to a love for black music. But they played it in their own special way too. Great stuff!! And thanks!!
... THIS GENTLEMAN KNOWS HIS MUSIC ...
Thanks so much. Be sure to share w/ family friends, etc on any social network you have.
Heard their music growing up
Never Saw video of them.
You need to look up Alan Wilson,founder of Canned Heat and read about his life,truly gifted musician",Up the country"is another great song.
This song has been in a few movies, the Latest is Spiderman Home Coming, also in Forest Gump, Sahara, Red 2, The Blindside, The Bucket List. It is also in some games.
If you want to hear some REALLY insane harmonica listen to 'Room To Move' by John Mayall.
Here we go. Let me try again. What you hear when you listen to this music is that it's REAL. It was made by guys who loved the blues and wanted their music to be heard by people. It wasnt made by some producer who put a group together so he could make a buck. These guys had to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. They had to pay their dues and work hard to make it. This music comes from the heart AND the mind. It has an intellectual aspect to it because it was made by real musicians who loved it more than anything else. So keep listening and expanding your musical data base and may you never be the same.
Oh, lordie - memories!!
Annual headline act for as long as I can remember for the Hells Angels Broadford Music Festival .Drug Cartel comment cracked me up.
Canned Heat can make magic with basic 12-bar blues!
You are correct MRM, they have a sound influenced by early blues .
Love canned heat..
Always thought was Kermit singing the blues when I was a nipper!
Excellent cover of a tune first recorded in 1928
That's stripped down Delta Blues to me. The Vibe is constant and the underplayed music is driven by the voice. 1960's were very experimental musically and otherwise.
This is one of those "live" performances of a recorded song; they aren't actually performing. I suspect that Al Wilson (d. 1970) both sang & played harmonica on this, & that Bob Hite (alternate lead singer) had nothing to do, so pretends to play for the stage appearance. Wilson wrote a few good songs, and his voice -though weak- was at least distinctive. Blues revivalists Canned Heat did a number of tunes -some covers of older blues tunes. Their reverence was real, and practically raised John Lee Hooker from the dead, recording an album with him. Funny: Canned Heat's music is older now than the "ancient" blues were when they performed their tributes & homages.
There is a wonderful mantra in this song.
The old school music was "real". I think "real" is the word you might be looking for. lol.
Ty, surely you must have seen the GEICO commercial that used this song.
Reid Sanderson ....Geico uses Going up Country. Same group, though.
@@thepoeticbutcher3370 oops you're right my bad
the word you looking for is REAL.
Chris Stapleton...you and your comparisons! Lol. He did remind me of him too!
Such a good song on the open highway going cross country or wherever your joy is
