 Canned Heat is a blues-rock/boogie rock band that formed in Los Angeles, California, USA, in 1965. 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. It was launched by two blues enthusiasts, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite, who took the name from Tommy Johnson's 1928 "Canned Heat Blues", a song about an alcoholic who had desperately turned to drinking Sterno, generically called "canned heat". After appearances at Monterey and Woodstock, at the end of the 1960s the band acquired worldwide fame with a lineup consisting of Bob Hite, vocals, Alan Wilson guitar, harmonica and vocals, Henry Vestine (or Harvey Mandel) on lead guitar, Larry Taylor on bass, and Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra on drums. Canned Heat is the 1967 debut album by the band. It was released shortly after their appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival, and features performances of several blues covers.01 - Rollin' And Tumblin'.mp302 - Bullfrog Blues.mp303 - Evil Is Going On.mp304 - Going Down Slow.mp305 - Catfish Blues.mp306 - Dust My Broom.mp307 - Help Me.mp308 - Big Road Blues.mp309 - Story Of My Life.mp310 - The Road Song.mp311 - Rich Woman.mp3LINK (RS) or LINK (FS) |
 Zephyr was a blues-based hard rock band formed in 1969 in Boulder, Colorado by guitarist Tommy Bolin, keyboardist John Faris, David Givens on bass guitar, Robbie Chamberlin on drums and Candy Givens on vocals. Although the charismatic performances by Candy Givens were originally the focal point for the band, it was the flashy guitar work of Tommy Bolin that the band is best remembered for. After Bolin left, he was replaced by Jock Bartley, and the band recorded the album Sunset Ride, their second for Warner Brothers Records. The album is still in print and is much loved by a small but loyal following. On Sunset Ride, Candy Givens displayed her gifts as a singer, composer, and harmonica player. The album was produced by David Givens who also authored the majority of the tunes. As a result of his stint with Zephyr, Bartley went on to a successful career with Gram Parsons and Firefall and drummer, Michael Wooten, went on to play for several years with Carole King. Various versions of Zephyr continued to play in Colorado until Candy's death in 1984. The release of "Heartbeat" in 1982 was promoted by a video that incorporated very early examples of analog computer animation combined with live action. Going Back To Colorado from 1971 is the second release of the band.01 - Going Back To Colorado02 - Miss Libertine03 - Night Fades Softly04 - The Radio Song05 - See My People Come Together06 - Showbizzy07 - Keep Me08 - Take My Love09 - I'll Be Right Here10 - At This Very MomentLINK (RS) or LINK (FS) |
 Aphrodite's Child was a Greek progressive rock band formed in 1967, by Vangelis Papathanassiou (keyboards), Demis Roussos (bass guitar and vocals), Loukas Sideras (drums and vocals), and Anargyros "Silver" Koulouris (guitar). Their band's name was derived from the title of a track from another Mercury act, Dick Campbell, from his Sings Where It's At album. Papathanassiou and Roussos had already been successful in Greece while they got together with Sideras and Koulouris to form a new band. Their first recording as a band was for George Romanos' album In Concert and in Studio where they played on four songs and were credited as 'Vangelis and his Orchestra'. In the same year they recorded a two song demo and submitted it to Philips Records. It was probably Vangelis'idea that the still-anonymous band should be relocated in London which would be a more suitable environment for their music. This decision, however, was not problem-free. Koulouris had to stay in Greece to fulfill his military service while the band, on their way to London, got stuck in Paris partially because they did not have the correct work permits and partially because of the strikes associated with the May 1968 events. In Paris they signed to Mercury Records, christened "Aphrodite's Child" and released their first single "Rain and Tears", a reworking of Pachelbel's Canon in D major. With this song the band became an overnight sensation in France and several other European countries in which the single charted well, despite the song being sung in English and not French. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. In October of the same year, the band released their first album End of the World. The album contained an equal amount of psychedelic pop songs and ballads in the vein of Procol Harum or The Moody Blues.01 - End Of The World02 - Aphrodite's Child , Don't Try To Catch The River03 - Mister Thomas04 - Rain And Tears05 - The Graas Is No Green06 - Valley Of Sadness07 - You Always Stand In My Way08 - The Shepherd And The Moon09 - Day Of The FoolLINK (RS) or LINK (FS) |

 Interesting record of the italian rock scene. In the 1976, when the progressive was ending, the Railroad recorded this album fully sung in english. Not acid rock blues neither virulent, but nice to hear it. It is not a covers record and all the tracks are composed by Jed Castellani - who plays guitar and harp - and by the rest of the band in which emerge Diego Chiuppani that gives us very good solos.
