Canned Heat - Boogie With Canned Heat - 02 - My Crime

[Kynatics]

I LOVE how Bob Hite says "reputation"! Dropping the 'u', just how Robert Johnson and most other bluesmen used to do. Great imitation

I love this track and the whole album is top-notch, but this song is a rip-off "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" composed by Willie Dixon and recorded in 1954 by Muddy Waters. This album is from 1968...

Of course it is, canned heat is known for their arrangement of blues classics.

@TheRunner75 This is not 'no-rip-off'! There is another version where my 'good-buddy'"Big-Bob-the Bear"says then the 'judge walked down, poured 'whiskey on my hair' stuck a reefer in my pocket, and said "convict this hippie, he is just an 'addict'!! These guys did not have to 'rip-off' nothing from nobody! Besides most of their 'licks' can from the 'late' John Lee hooker anyway!! It is a 'true-story'!!

[TheRunner75]

@MisterCrash241 Sorry, Willie Dixon is NOT credited. Though it's a rip-off. Same for Led Zeppelin who "forgot" to credit Black bluesmen in their 2 first albums. In spite of this, I love this track and LZ 2 first albums. It would have been more correct to mentions the real sources.

@TheRunner75 You know, I love 'Bobby Plant and Jimmy Page and "I" think their stuff is great! All of it, Especially "Stairway-to Heaven" and 'that' in not blues it is "Gospel", isn't it?

[TheRunner75]

@MisterCrash241 "Stairway to Heaven" has been inspired by "Taurus" by Spirit. However "Stairway" is one of the greatest track ever written.
