Canned Heat's second release, Boogie with Canned Heat (1968), pretty well sums up the bona fide blend of amplified late-'60s electric rhythm and blues, with an expressed emphasis on loose and limber boogie-woogie.
The quintet -- consisting of Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/harmonica/vocals), Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass), Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar), Aldolfo "Fido" Dela Parra (drums), and Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals) -- follow up their debut effort with another batch of authentic interpretations, augmented by their own exceptional instrumentation.
One development is their incorporation of strong original compositions. "On the Road Again" -- which became the combo's first, and arguably, most significant hit.
Their love of authentic R&B informs "World in a Jug," the dark "Turpentine Blues," and Hite's update of Tommy McClennan's "Whiskey Headed Woman."
The Creole anthem "Marie Laveau" is nothing like the more familiar cut by Bobby Bare, although similarities in content are most likely derived from a common source. The track, as rendered here, is arguably most notable for the driving interaction between guitarists Wilson and Vestine as they wail and moan over Hite's imposing leads.
Saving the best for last, the Heat are at the height of their prowess during the lengthy audio biography on "Fried Hockey Boogie." Each member is introduced by Hite and given a chance to solo before they kick out the jams, culminating in Hite's crescendo of " ... Don't forget to boogie!"
For enthusiasts as well as listeners curious about the oft-overlooked combo, this is an essential record

LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels which carry just a few spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like new with just a few marks which are all cosmetic, superficial and harmless
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT+
Superb *MONO* cut - deep and rich with heavy bass and my play-check at volume found little of note to fault.
Side One plays beautifully as does Side Two apart from a few clicks/surface between the last two tracks.
Nothing really - a fantastic copy and the best I have heard in a long time
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The front laminated cover is clean and unmarked with unworn edges and spine and a deep glass-like gloss to the front which has nothing but a few indentation marks and thumbnail creases at the opening
