Future Blues 1970 Album

Canned Heat

Very much a transitional record, even though in many places it sounds much like the records that preceded it. It’s loud, gruff, and angry – like a lot of other acts from 1970 – but one gets the feeling it’s all too quickly burning into oblivion. The last album the band recorded before the death of guitarist Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson, and his contributions are notable here. Ironically, the hit single from the album was the only one sung by Bob Hite (“Let’s Work Together”).
