The Story
Venerable blues rock institution Canned Heat opens the vault and unleashes a collection of all instrumental tunes recorded from 1967 to 1996 - yielding a workable title, "Instrumentals 1967-1996". Starting with the band's original 1967 line-up, including Alan Wilson and Bob "The Bear" Hite, and progressing through line-ups featuring Junior Watson, Robert Lucas and James Thornbury, this incredible release presents a unique side of these master musicians. Special guests John Mayall and John "Juke" Logan appear on the over 70 minute program. "It is great that this band has done instrumentals over the years, and not only jams, I mean GOOD projects that were planned and rehearsed extensively. When you listen to this disc, you can't help but respect the band's legacy," states drummer Fito de la Parra.
