Customer Reviews:

As good as it gets on CD.......2007-04-01

The definitive 'best of' for this band is the double LP "Portrait", but, as that's not available in a digital format, this is the next best choice. While known for the Woodstock anthem "Going Up the Country" and the hit "On the Road Again", these guys are blues musicians at heart and love to play amped up Southern Delta boogie (they famously backed John Lee Hooker for a time). Good stuff.

great cd / great sound.......2006-01-07

I bought this CD a few years ago when the best 3 lps from Canned Heat were not available on CD ("Boogie with Canned Heat","Living the Blues" & "Halleluja"). It was the closest "best of" to get the most songs from these 3 lps. I was not that familiar with the other songs by Canned Heat. But after receiving this CD, I found the earlier and later stuff are great too. You can now get Boogie with Canned Heat, Living the Blues & Halleluja on CD. But this CD does a great job to also cover the best of the rest of Canned Heat songs. Highly Recommended

good music, better memories.......2004-03-13

I hadn't heard this stuff in decades, and if anything, it was better than I remembered. Very cool California hippie/biker blues band. Clearly repectful of the tradition, these guys were good players (fine harp and guitar) and evolved a unique sound. I'm surpised (like another reviewer) that they left off "Fried Hockey Boogie," but I guess this disc is meant to emphasize the straighter blues stuff and downplay the 60s wierdness. Too bad, if you ask me. Still, a fine, bluesy party disc. Recommended.

Boogie On.......2003-04-11

I first heard Canned Heat when they released their second album, "Boogie With the Canned Heat" and I was hooked for life. They were the best "white boys playing the blues and boogie" of all times. Alan Wilson was a great blues songwritter and guitar player. His singing was also very good. Larry Taylor was, and is the best bass player around. He never gets the recognition he deserves. He turns up everywhere, even on Tom Waites albums. Bob Hite was a great and underrated blues shouter and master of ceramonies. De La Para was as solid as they come on drums, and still is. The real standout of the original lineup was Henry Vestine. A forgotten standout blues guitar player. Hendrix used to go see him play, and John Fayhe sings his praises to this day.Unfortunately these boys lived the blues and personal demons got the best of three of them. Wilson, Hite and Vestine have all departed this life, but they left behind some great blues and boogie for us.Canned Heat continues to this day, but to realy experiance them, you must hear the early band. This is a good sampler of that band. Due to drug and substance abuse problems, Harvey Mandell plays guitar in the band in place of Vestine on a number of songs. He is also a great, and forgotten, blues guitar player.Also, check out one of their early live albums for a feel of what they were all about. I hope that one day they receive their due. They have certainly paid their dues. In the words of Bob Hite, "Don't forget to boogie!"

Great, but if you liked this band go to their website!.......2002-09-17

This is a great compilation double CD with many of their best and some rarities. BUT if you like this band and think they deserve the royalties from their music, which they have never gotten!!!,... Yes, you can get those hard to find albums too. They still make good new music too!
