Now here is a true treasure! Nearly three hours of prime White-boy blues by the legendary CANNED HEAT recorded during their performing height of the late sixties and early seventies. You can almost smell the reefer coming off of the tapes when you listen to these two discs.
For passive HEAT fans there are the "hits" of "Going Up the Country" and "On the Road Again" but for those who want to dig a little deeper this is like buying your own personal library of CANNED HEAT. This is all "must-hear" music though in spots it is a bit rough. If you are looking for long extended jams not available on other discs they are here too the best example of which is the smoking version of "I Love My Baby." Twenty-nine tracks all for the price of a single CD! You can't beat it.
