Fito de la Parra has sent us three albums for our enjoyment as we have always been doing throughout the years with the music of this mythical legendary rockin’ boogie blues band which was a real revolution of original Afroamerican bluesCanned Heat Cook Book presents eleven classic songs of their repertoire, such as Goin’ Up The Country, Amphetamine Annie, Time Was, On The Road Again or Let’s Work Together It also includes the song Bullfrog Blues where you will find the first Canned Heat rooster and his first drummer Frank Cook The Boogie House Tapes Vol2 includes two more cds coming from private collectors, all recorded between 1969 and 1999, and various musicians who belonged to Canned Heat in different periods Forty songs coming from rehearsals or live performances, and even including four tracks recorded on a tape from La Boite club in Barcelona, Spain, together with the original recordings made by Alan Wilson from the hospital he was admitted few weeks before his death A double album any Canned Heat lover should have among his collection Sound has been improved to a very acceptable level Finally, Internal Combustion is a curiosity more than one fan overlooked it when it was released The band was celebrating his twenty-five years of musical career when the album was published It gathers very good moments as, some of the songs included, have an intense climax and a unique original scent Many expressive instrumental details show all musicians quality with Adolfo de la Parra on drums, bass players Larry Taylor and Ron Shumake, James Thornbury harmonica, guitar and vocals, Harvey Mandel, Henry Vestine and Junior Watson on guitar and Ronnie Barron on piano An album that, like the previous one, deserves an outstanding place in your record collection
