“Hallelujah” by Canned Heat - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1969 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
Another solid set from the boogie bluesmen with Al Wilson’s “Do Not Enter” and “Change My Ways” standing out - although I must admit to a biased preference for Al the “blind owl”’s over Bob the “bear”’s vocals. Having said that, the big man has his moments too - “Big Fat” (a cover of Fat’s Domino’s The Fat Man) is a rip-roaring success here. Other notable “covers” include “Sic ’em Pigs” (Bukka White’s “Sic ’em Dogs” with a co-credit for Bob Hite’s adaptions) and the original “Canned Heat” by Tommy Johnson (which rather shamelessly only credits Bob Hite). They sound like their hearts were in the right place anyway. I’m convinced…
