Amphetamine Annie --- Canned Heat

"Amphetamine Annie" by Canned Heat,
from the album Boogie with Canned Heat, 1968




Canned Heat is a blues-rock/boogie band that formed in Los Angeles in 1965. The group has been noted for its own interpretations of blues material as well as for efforts to promote the interest in this type of music and its original artists. It was launched by two blues enthusiasts, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite, who took the name from Tommy Johnson's 1928 Canned Heat Blues, a song about an alcoholic who has desperately turned to drinking Sterno, generically called "canned heat".

After appearances at Monterey and Woodstock, at the end of the '60s the band had acquired worldwide notoriety with a lineup consisting of Bob Hite, vocals, Alan Wilson guitar, harmonica and vocals, Henry Vestine or Harvey Mandel on lead guitar, Larry Taylor on bass, and Adolfo ('Fito') de la Parra on drums.

I can't remember where Bob is buried; that was such a sad day. I can ask Fito when he gets back off the road. We still jam with friends every week or so when he is in town. Bob was such a kind, good-hearted person and my close friend. He would share anything he had with others, so when he needed a stereo amp, gave him mine for his huge collection of 78 R.P.M. records.

@JeffSophia1 @JeffSophia1 I met Joey thru Fito in 1980. We were friends for 10 years, he played in my bands and I paid him double to work on the buildings I managed. (I also have a Broker lic.36 yrs. besides being a musician of 45 years).One day, he came over to my house and demanded I go score some coke for him at a hot spot in Venice. I wouldn't risk it (I never sold drugs anyway) and he has not spoken to me since. Why do you ask?
