Canned Heat - On The Road download

The Blind Owl, We miss you man!!

lord have mercy on my wicked son...his look after he sings that part really gets me.

What a unique voice.    Went perfect for their style of blues.

Masterpiece of Music History

What was great about being alive back then was the technology wasn't as advanced as today. You didn't have an iFuck, no StupidTV, no FaceFuck, no Instagratification. Given the lack of these insignificant "advancements" in technology, the demand for real musicians was high and going to a show was one of the most exciting things available. People were able to experience life in much higher quality. Sounds, sights, sensations of all kinds were all around you. Then you have the modern times where life is grayed-out, bleak, lifeless and emotionless. All important things are lost and people live on a cloud where they stay fully satisfied staring at a screen that lacks all human interaction. What's next in the evolution process of technology? I don't even want to know. Whatever it is, it won't appeal to real human beings. It will only appeal to half-wit adults and their ignorant, sadly innocent children who simply aren't old and experienced enough to know what is right and wrong. And let me tell you something...What you see when you look at the world around you today is wrong on all levels.

Listen to this incredible vocalist and the dissonance in his voice.  Absolutely brilliant. Well, I'm so tired of crying But I'm out on the road again I'm on the road again Well, I'm so tired of crying But I'm out on the road again I'm on the road again I ain't got no woman Just to call my special friend You know the first time I traveled Out in the rain and snow - In the rain and snow You know the first time I traveled Out in the rain and snow - In the rain and snow I didn't have no payroll Not even no place to go And my dear mother left me When I was quite young - When I was quite young And my dear mother left me When I was quite young - When I was quite young She said "Lord, have mercy On my wicked son." Take a hint from me, mama Please don't you cry no more - Don't you cry no more Take a hint from me, mama Please don't you cry no more - Don't you cry no more 'Cause it's soon one morning Down the road I'm going But I ain't going down That long old lonesome road All by myself But I ain't going down That long old lonesome road All by myself I can't carry you, baby Gonna carry somebody else

The lead singer has one of the most distinctive singing voices that I have ever heard. A great song by a great band. Thanks for the memories! !!!!

Alan Wilson is unlike any other musician I've ever listened to-- He was the heart and soul of canned heat

Missing you always and forever Blind Owl Alan Wilson (2019)

They are just to good for words.

What magical times these were - we were kids hitchiking home from surfing at the beach one day and a man in a van stopped and said " Hey you guys , I'll give you a ride if you'll help me unload all this stuff " We jumped in and unloaded Canned Heat's equipment and watched the concert from backstage maybe at the Anaheim Convention Center ,can't remember but it was stunning and wild !

That's Al "Blind Owl" Wilson on lead, sadly lost two years later.

Most badass harmonica intro to ever be recorded , ever

This was from a time when they let the cream rise to the top. Now the music industry tries to push the shit out front.

One of the best 60's songs and bands.

lots of people these days wouldn’t appreciate this kind of music like most of us did growing up in the 60’s n 70’s they don’t respect there selves let alone the great music back then I feel lucky to have grown up with this treasured stuff not most the crap they put out in today’s world !!

Absolutely classic song of the 60's. In fact, one of the best of the past 50-odd years. Remember it well when it first came out and just as brilliant today.

Just found out I'm related to Robert Ernest "bob" "the bear" and I'm a musician in a 60s blues rock band lol never saw that coming

This is one of my top five blues numbers.  It literally sends shivers up my spine, listening to the loneliness in Alan Wilson's voice,all the while tapping my foot.
