This is some New Orleans/Mississippi blues at its best with a bit of southern rock thrown in!!! Canned Heat is one of the most underrated groups of all time. They are great. They were improperly labeled a group of 60s hippies, but they were much more than that. Yes, they did appear at Woodstock and maybe that is why they were never recognized as what they truly were. This CD will show you the real Canned Heat. No doubt, "On The Road Again" and "Going Up The Country" are very classic songs and actually are the songs that made me buy the CD. They have always been two of my favorite songs of all time. These should always be in everyone's top list of classic songs, but wait until you hear what else is here. This is spectacular. If you love blues, southern rock and some great music, do not miss out on Canned Heat. They got it!!!!!! Get this!!!! Now!!!!! There ain't no bad songs here............

THE VERY BEST OF CANNED HEAT is the best anthology of Canned Heat assembled up to this point. At 19 songs, it's more economical than the double-disc UNCANNED!, yet more complete than the EMI BEST OF or COOKBOOK. Sadly Bob Hite, Al Wilson, and Henry Vestine died in 1970, 1981, and 1997, respectively, so they will never be able to capitalize on this anthology's release.
