- "Future Blues"

- USA - Liberty Records - LST 11002 -
.....................................................................................................
Includes the very rare CANNED HEAT "KANNED KORN KOMIX" an actual 20 page comix book 'heads' format in the old hippie 'Freak Brothers' style. ...........................................................................................................................................
Future Blues: swansong to the "Blind Owl" .............................................................................
- Features the AWESOME heavy fuzzed blues "SO SAD" one of Canned Heats best ever tracks!
This was the last record that Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson appeared on. It featured a slightly different Canned Heat, as Henry Vestine was absent for the sessions. Harvey Mandel filled in on lead guitar, whose other credits included acclaimed solo Lp's, studio sessions by the score and work with bluesman John Mayall.
The tone throughout "Future Blues" was noticeably heavier, and had a very clear and powerful recorded sound. Mandel's lead guitar actually didn't give the band any extra power, as both he and Vestine were equally powerful and electric in their styles, but the leads did have more rock punch. Making, "Work Together" for example, a very funky and loud rocker.
In fact, without Wilson, this record could have become a bit too samey. Yet keep in mind, without Hite's powerful and/or humorous stylings, this band could have ended up playing music as obscure as any John Fahey record... that mix of 'heads' is always what made Canned Heat the unique outfit it was.
The set opens with one of the most integrated numbers they ever did, "Sugar Bee", a strange, stomping number that has Alan Wilson all over it, yet, with a vocal that only Hite could have sung. It's a song no one could listen to and not recognize as being Canned Heat.
A fast, "Goin" Up The Country" type number follows called, "Shake It And Break It", which leads to an unusual cover of "That's All Right Mama", featuring a very slow, almost moody arrangement. It's unusual as it's generally done uptempo as Elvis did it, yet closer to how the composer, Arthur Cruddup would have performed it. -
Two "Blind Owl" Wilson tunes follow, a prophetic "My Time Ain't Long", and the off the wall big band swing boogie, "Skat". Both show the dichotomy of the man; the odd, and often mysterious soul lost in a delta blues world, and a genius who often mixed disparate elements into a strange, yet coherent style. The latter was a very active swing number, with some of the best harp work he ever did, with some of the weirdest scat singing ever recorded.
The side ends with the number that got the most airplay (and still is heard now and then), the gloriously electric and funky rocker, "Let's Work Together" ...well within the spirit of CANNED HEAT.
Side two opens with Wilson's "London Blues", featuring Dr. John on keys. It opens like an old 50's Hooker blues, and as the band kicks in, becomes one very tough slow blues. A masterpiece.
A very hard and thundering "So Sad" follows, with Hite leading the band through the tough, pounding rocking blues, Mandel's guitar never sounded better, leading to the entire band collaborating on "Future Blues", one of the best fast blues rockers ever written.
The band did continue to record after Wilson died, and certainly was as active as ever on the concert scene. More than a few years back, - Bob "The bear" Hite passed away, but the band still fronts the name but in a very different way.
No one ever did the boogie better than Canned Heat, except for - John Lee Hooker, and even he liked these guys.
