My Personal Favorite

This is a great album. Even without te bonus tracks, it stands up well to the test of time. The reviews previous to mine tell alot about this forgotten jewl. But, they fail to mention that guitarist Henry Vestine was one of the all-time best white blues guitar players. Jimmi Hendrix used to go see him play to learn something from his style.More of a boogie and blues style than blues purist Michael Bloomfield, but just as good. Young music fans and guitar players would do themselves well to become more than familiar with Vestine's fine work (Bloomfield is also a must).I have been listening to this album for over 30 years and I am still not tired of it.

COLLECTORS BEWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH SOUND QUALITY!

COLLECTORS BEWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH SOUND QUALITY!

This CD is a gem it is true BUT SEVERAL CUTS HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THEM ,THEY ARE,"SONG # 5 == "TURPENTINE MOAN",Folks this cut was RE mastered with three times the bass of the other cuts on the CD,think of yourself standing next to the BASS amplifier to get an idea of what i mean. THE Cut # 9 ="MARIE LAVEAU" WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED WITH HUGE AMOUNTS OF BASS AGAIN .TOTALLY BASS DRENCHED SOUND HERE FOLKS ! Lastly is the CUT # 12 "BOOGIE MUSIC",WOW THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY TO FIX WITH A LITTLE "EQ"(BASS TONE CONTROL).

"A TOTAL CLASSIC TOTALLY RUINED !

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE OLD CANNED HEAT ALBUMS TOP BE REISSUED ALSO BUT THIS CD IS A TOTAL DISSAPOINTMENT !

AKARMA should REMASTER it and put IT OUT WITH "NEWLY-RESTORED " VERSION STICKERED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CD.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE IS AKARMA'S REMASTERING OF THE OTHER CANNED HEAT CLASSIC "LIVING IN THE BLUES", WOW ! TALK ABOUT WONDERFULLLLLL ,PRISTINE MASTERING WITH NO OVER "BASSIFICATION"!

I HAVE WAITED FOR 30 YEARS TO HEAR THIS ON A GOOD SYSTEM WITH NO POPS OR CLICKS ,Now AKARMA has brought this wonderfull music back to life and current for future generations to enjoy.i wish i could say this about the "BOOGIE WITH CANNED HEAT"ALBUM BUT IT SIMPLY IS NOT T R U E ! ALL We can hope is that AKARMA WILL GET Their "A=KARMA" GOING IN THE RIGHT PLACE ! AND RE=PLACE THE "BOOGIE WITH CANNED HEAT ALBUM,WITH A NEWLY DONE VERSION THAT IS SONICALLY PLEASING AND CORRECT!

This is the most consistent blues/boogie album of C.H.

I bought this album 31 years ago. I never found it back in the store, nor on vinyl, neither on CD. So this has come to an end by this import cd release. I do not own the cd, so I can't say anything about the extra tracks. But I can about the albumtracks! The, at first sight, simple songs become hooked in your brain. Every song is a jewel. The contrasts in the band are very well balanced; the polished Al Wilson, the Bear Hite, the distorted guitar of Vestine and the fabulous rhythm tandem Fido and the Mole. The excellent recording quality of this album must be mentioned. The production is clear and heavy; listen to the bass! Above all it's the voice of Bob Hite, that gives every song, even the sad ones, a grin! My favorite song is My Crime. This song contains everything what I have said about the album before. It is not a plain blues, because of its unusual tempo and funny intro. But try dancing (arms spread; like old greek men dance their sirtakis all alone), it works! Have fun with this record! B.T.W. Is it not possible to release the original album recordings on CD? Because I like the atmosfere of the album (I do not need extra tracks...) October 7, 1999
