Best known as the first American band to successfully blend rock and blues, Canned Heat gained worldwide fame after appearing at the Monterey Pop and Woodstock festivals at the end of the 1960s, becoming one of the most popular bands of the hippie era. The band achieved worldwide fame with a lineup consisting of Bob Hite, vocals, Alan Wilson, guitar, harmonica and vocals, Henry Vestine (and later, Harvey Mandel) on lead guitar, Larry Taylor on bass, and Adolfo de la Parra on drums. Now in their fifth decade, the band still has original members Taylor, Mandel and de la Parra. Presented here is their classic 1970 album, "Vintage," featuring reworkings of vintage blues numbers from John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter and Willie Dixon, sprinkled with a few original numbers. All selections have been newly remastered.
