Canned Heat – Hallelujah/Cook Book (CD)
Product Details
Canned Heat arrived at Woodstock in August 1969 as one of the festival's most electrifying acts, and the recordings collected here capture the band at the peak of that same raw, boogie-soaked power. Al Wilson's haunting falsetto and harmonica work alongside Bob Hite's earthy growl gave the group a dual identity rooted deep in pre-war blues scholarship, a seriousness of purpose that set them apart from contemporaries working similar territory.
"Hallelujah" includes literally one great blues song after another in an impressively eclectic set. "Cookbook" is a collection of Canned Heat's finest recordings up to that point, essentially a 'greatest hits' from the period. It features the classic Canned Heat lineup of Bob "The Bear" Hite, Al "Blind Owl" Wilson, Henry Vestine on guitar, Bob Cook on drums and bassist Larry Taylor.
