Our Take

CANNED HEAT's "Living The Blues" is a heady mix of pure, unadulterated nostalgia and toe-tapping jams that will have you reaching for your air guitar in no time. The band's signature blend of blues and boogie is on full display here, with tracks like "Pony Blues" and "Walking by Myself" transporting you straight to a smoky, dimly lit juke joint in the deep south.

The album kicks off with the rollicking "Pony Blues," a foot-stomping ode to the hardships of life on the road. Lead vocalist Bob Hite's gravelly voice adds a layer of authenticity to the bluesy sound, while the tight rhythm section keeps things lively and energetic throughout.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the funky "One Kind Favor," which sees the band flexing their musical muscles and showing off their impressive instrumental chops. The harmonica solos are nothing short of mesmerising, and the electric guitar riffs will have you grooving along in no time.

Overall, "Living The Blues" is a must-listen for fans of classic blues and rock music. CANNED HEAT have once again proven that they are masters of their craft, delivering an album that is both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. So grab a cold one, kick back, and let the blues wash over you - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Canned Heat

Canned Heat are like that old, slightly dodgy uncle at a family BBQ who's always trying to sell you dubious homemade moonshine, but you can't help but love him anyway. Formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, this blues rock band has been setting stages on fire ever since, with their wild energy and infectious grooves. Led by the charismatic singer Bob "The Bear" Hite, Canned Heat quickly gained a reputation for their raucous live performances and larger-than-life personalities. Their breakout hit, "On The Road Again", became an anthem for the counterculture movement of the 1960s, solidifying their place in rock and roll history. Despite numerous lineup changes and personal struggles over the years, Canned Heat have never lost their passion for music. They continue to tour relentlessly, bringing their unique brand of boogie-woogie blues to audiences around the world. Their latest album, "Blues from the Heat", is a gritty, raw collection of tracks that showcase the band's raw energy and tight musicianship. From the blistering guitar solos to the soulful harmonica riffs, Canned Heat proves that they still have plenty of fire left in their bellies. So grab a cold beer, kick back, and let Canned Heat take you on a wild ride through the backroads of rock and roll. These legendary rockers may be old school, but they definitely haven't lost their heat.
