@joycejnn Not quite right. Alan was the biggest genius in the band, but NOT THE ONLY ONE. And, about post-wilson Canned Heat: right after his death they recorded 2 excellent LP´s, one of which is AS GOOD AS ANY of their best (seriously). Check it out, please: "Historical Figures" 1971.

@joycejnn I do agree with you. I think Hite et al. were aware of Wilson's special musical attributes but were deluding themselves with regard to their own contributions to the band's success. I understand the post-Wilson lineups felt entitled to Wilson's share of royalties as well.

The Bear seemed really smart about music. Too bad he let his drug habit take him out so young.

Kids, don't forget the Mole (Larry Taylor bass) who is still around playing in Tom Waits band. Henry Vestine also made some records with the great Albert Ayler. Yes I saw the original line up. Wonderful band. Henry and the Mole ripped it up that night.

@pretorious700 Yes they went to rack and ruin after Alan died.Alan was the musical genius who sourced all the material and did all the arrangements.It was Alan who gave them their 2 hits and who was Canned Heat.

My band opened for Canned Heat in a club in Raleigh, NC in 1974. They were all so wasted the crowd booed them off and the club owner asked us to play another set. I don't think Bob Hite was even in the band then. I felt really bad for them. I have always been a big fan.



That's Allan Wilson, one great man for the blues! One of the greatest (if not the greatest) white blues players in the history. You should read more about him, you wont regret it! :)
RIP
Blind Owl!
