Excellent Remaster

2008-07-10
In addition to all the great things the other reviewers have to say about the disc, I'll add that the sound quality is excellent too. For whatever reason, this band's albums have been overlooked by Capitol. If you want one of their studio albums on CD, you have overpriced poor sounding imports made by budget reissue companies to choose from - not a good situation. It's obvious from this compilation, that Capital has access to some first generation tapes. Let's just hope that someday they'll properly reissue them with the dignity this band's catalog deserves.

Doesn't get any better

I owned every LP ever pressed by Canned Heat and since converted to cd's. Obviously, Canned Heat is one of my all-time favorite groups. But for those of you too young or somehow just discovering them, this is an excellent compilation.

I have looked for a very long time for this CD. I was so happy to find it on Amazon. I guess you can find ANYTHING on Amazon. It is great, great, great. Much nostalgia.

A Band to often forgotten.

This is a great collection of tunes by a truly fun and in their day unique band. They always had tunes that translated well into long jams with an infectious groove reminicient of the DEAD. One of the best things about this particular collection is that it includes "LETS WORK TOGETHER",a really foot thumping,head boobin beat song that is often left off of other CANNED HEAT collections. A must for any sixties collection or for anyone who just loves to BOOGIE!!!

Canned Heat is Hot!

Really a remarkable achievement from this band. Great set of songs and I just love the voice of the singer in "On the Road again", "Going up the Country", etc. Brilliant songs and sound as good today as anything I can listen to. Overall, a great compilation of songs from a band that at the very least had a great deal of musicianship among them. They deserve nothing but accolades and that is what I am hopefully infusing. I have read a little bit of the kind of S..T they went through and I admire them even more. A real testimony of the era in which they existed and evolved, party like there is no tomorrow and music with heart. Canned Heat is as Hot today as they were at their peak. One for the ages is what I say! 4 Stars for "The Very Best of Canned Heat".

THANK YOU

My 17 year old son, who was born 20 years after Woodstock bought this CD after he heard "On the road again" at a friend's house. The CD is great and brings back memories from the 60s and 70s

This Is Sure A Can Of Heat

I am a Chicago Electric Blues man and was brought up on that kind of music. When the white bands decided to start covering black muscic I was some what dubious. I remember when Canned Heat first came out. I was immediately impressed with their style it was almost like listening to some of the better blues artists at the time. This compilation has assembled a ton of good ear stuff. I particulary liked .......... "Dust My Broom," (almost an Elmore James sound)" Bullfrog Blues," (that cooks)" Rollin and Tumblin" (a traditional black blues song also). They have one of their John Lee Hooker tracts "Whiskey and Women" which is awesome. This sucker even has a Little Richard combo on it.....what more can you ask! Well you can ask for the two songs they are most noted for "On The Road Again," and "Goin Up To Country" ...awesome baby..but the icing on the cake to me was "Let's Work Together." Buy it, try it and you will like it. Joliet Jayke the Bluze Brother would not steer you wrong...now go order it so you can gettin some "Heat" in your soul.

A great musical flashback!

It had been over 30 years since I listened to a song by Canned Heat. I liked them somewhat in the 60's and early 70's but they were by no means one of Wow, I forgot how great they were. These guys could play some music. Maybe my tastes in music have matured as I have, I am now 54 yrs. old but I just really appreciate the talent that was Canned Heat. Kick back, and flash back, you will be glad you did.
