Canned Heat

A hard-luck blues band of the '60s, Canned

Heat was founded by blues historians and

record collectors Alan Wilson and Bob Hite.

They seemed to be on the right track and

played all the right festivals (including

Monterey and Woodstock, making it very

prominently into the documentaries about

both) but somehow never found a lasting

audience. The group has been noted for its

own interpretations of blues material as well

as for efforts to promote the interest in this

type of music and its original artists.
