jezzaboy Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The Canned Heat, "Born to boogie" as they used to say. The original bass player was Larry "the mole" Taylor and he played on the hits in the late 60`s and at woodstock, big fat guy with a handlebar moustache and a sunburst P bass. Great blues player. He was also one of the session players on some of the monkey`s hits. Sex, drugs, alcohol, blues, death, hells angels, being ripped off, a great story and they are still going I believe. If you see a copy of a book called Canned Heat-Living the blues, buy it! Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the old blues players drank it, which is where the band got the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about canned heat, but yer man Taylor, now plays for Tom Waits on a fairly regular basis, right crackin' he is too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 One of the few bands who really make me smile, just out and out we don't give a f**k rock 'n' roll. I was in a clothes shop with she who must be obeyed a few years back and they were playing the usual crap music (B. Spears IIRC). All of a sudden 'Going Down Country' came on. The girl behind the counter, seeing my psoitive reaction, gave me a great smile and did a little boogie. The boss immediately told her to change the sounds back to Britney's Greatest Hits or whatever it was. Nice moment though. Apparently they were the loudest LIVE band of the 60's?

doctorbass Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 This has it all - groovy hippy chicks, Hells Angels, cool slide guitar and Larry 'The Mole'. THIS, all you Jacoesque slappers, poppers with too much treble, is BASS A little Mississippi noise.........
