Canned Heat rose to fame because their knowledge and love of blues music was both wide and deep. Emerging in 1966, Canned Heat was founded by blues historians and record collectors Alan Blind Owl Wilson and Bob The Bear Hite. Hite took the name Canned Heat from a 1928 recording by Tommy Johnson. They were joined by Henry The Sunflower Vestine, another ardent record collector who was a former member of Frank Zappas Mothers of Invention. Rounding out the band in 1967 were Larry The Mole Taylor on bass, an experienced session musician who had played with Jerry Lee Lewis and The Monkees and Adolfo Fito de la Parra on drums who had played in two of the biggest Latin American bands, Los Sinners and Los Hooligans.The band attained three worldwide hits, On The Road Again in 1968, Lets Work Together in 1970 and Going Up The Country in 1969 became rock anthems throughout the world with the latter being adopted as the unofficial theme song for the film Woodstock and the Woodstock Generation.They secured their niche in the pages of rock n roll history with their performances at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival (along with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Who) and the headlining slot at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969. The band can boast of collaborations with John Mayall and Little Richard and later with blues icon, John Lee Hooker, the musician that they initially got much of their musical inspiration from in the first place. This union produced the spirited and revered album, Hooker n Heat. The band is also credited with bringing a number of other forgotten bluesmen to the forefront of modern blues including Sunnyland Slim, who they found driving a taxi in Chicago, Skip James, who they found in a hospital in Tunica, Mississippi and took to the Newport Festival, Memphis Slim and Clarence Gatemouth Brown with whom they recorded in France and, also, Albert Collins.
