Alan "Blind Owl" Christie Wilson (July 4, 1943 - September 3, 1970) was an American musician, best known as the co-founder, leader, co-lead singer, and primary composer of the blues band Canned Heat. He sang and played harmonica and guitar with the group live and on recordings. Wilson was the lead singer for the group's two biggest U.S. hit singles: "On the Road Again" and "Going Up the Country". Unfortunately part of the "27 club" Wilson's death came just two weeks before the death of Jimi Hendrix, four weeks before the death of Janis Joplin, and ten months before the death of Jim Morrison, three artists who also died at the same age. Wilson was cremated, and on September 13, 1970 a memorial service was held at Menotomy Rocks Park in his hometown of Arlington. The service was led by Reverend Wilbur Canaday who said, "We are using the sky as a roof, and the ground as a floor, because he himself used nature’s great wonders as his home.” [22] Wilson's ashes were later scattered in Sequoia National Park amongst the redwoods he deeply loved.
Yeah, watch the part where a fan comes up on stage and bums a Marlboro off Bob 'The Bear' Hite. On camera. On stage. At Woodstock. Nowhere BUT Woodstock.
You must hear "On The Road Again" by Canned Heat (not to be confused with the Willie Nelson Song with the same title); it's amazing. Alan Wilson is the lead singer for "On The Road Again"; he has a different vibe compared to Bob "The Bear" Hite, who sings "Bullfrog Blues."
The live version where he climbs on top of his amp. Think it was for French television. He was playing a Gretsch Corvette with a Bigsby. Epic performance.
Canned Heat was an awesome band, a "jam band" along the lines of the All man Bros or Greatful Dead. A very under-rated, under appreciated band, one of the all time greats. You should definitely watch the Monterey Pop movie. Great performances by Janis Joplin and Canned Heat. It was Jimi Hendrix's introduction to the American music scene. Watch for the look on Mama Cass's face when Jimi Hendrix is burning his guitar, it's priceless.
Alan on slide with Let's Work Together is awesome. He taught blues legend Son House how to play his own songs (Son House) that he had forgotten as Son House was in the twilight of his years.
In 1975, I was taking a train from New Mexico to Chicago.. I was sitting next to an elderly lady.. She asked me if I had ever heard of a band called Canned Heat. I told her, of course, I had. She told me her son was in the band... But it's been so long ago, I don't remember which which guy it was.... But she was the nicest, sweetest lady... I was young, and traveling alone, and she helped me out.
It's funny how your conversations open doors to music I've not thought about in decades. Jim Stafford's "I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes" should added to the queue.
Canned Heat is a great band from the late 60s and 70s that is another one of those bands that it if you wasn't there in that time period you most probably never heard of them but they were one that their popularity didn't reflect onto the radio stations but live was where they were very popular along with bands like Hot Tuna, Little Feat and Grateful Dead
HOT FREAKIN TUNA! JORMA& JACK. What's that smell like fish now momma I really would like to know. Thank you for waking up that part of my memory. Lived in S.F. in 60's & 70's,saw them at the Fillmore & Winterland. One of my faves bands then wasDan Hicks & his Hot Licks. Song called " I SCARE MYSELF"
Hi guys this is a great old time blues classic , so many people have covered this song , Irish blues man Rory Gallagher did a blistering version of this in his live shows ,great channel guys.
The first time I heard it was Rory's version from (I think) Live in Europe, but it was one of four tracks on a flexi disc on the cover of the Sounds music paper. I used to bop like mad to it, perspiration flying! It's the reason I bought my first Rory Gallagher album.
@@stevegreen5552 hi ,yeah you are correct , bullfrog blues was on live in Europe (72) and is 50 years old this year , and Rory definitely paid homage to so many great blues men in his live shows , some channel s on UA-cam play his stuff and here in Ireland Rory is usually on the radio multiple times a week , and in Germany Rory was a big star and his rockpalast shows are on UA-cam as well just a reminder what a force of nature Rory was on stage , 👍
@@Dirtbag_Deluxe ir was & wasn't!!! the place had a smell to it!!!!! I know that is weird memory but there it is!!! My granddaughter is so jealous also - she is a true hippie!!! I am from SW Louisiana & my parents just knew I was going to hell for being there!!!!! Favorite group ythere was CCR[Creedence Clearwater & The Band - fav song Country Joe's Fixin to Die Rag!! we [my college roommate & me] thought Iron Butterfly was supposed to be there & The Byrds - but they didn't!!!!! A great experience & one that will never be repeated cause folks don't have that much love in them anymore!! I am 72 & still love the song "The Weight" by The Band!!! so glad Rob Squad reacted to it!!! They haven't done Fixin To Die Rag yet!!!! Peace Out!!!!
@@hollypinkley7936 oh yeah I always overlook how bad the smell must have been! Lol but still you were a part of a huge event in music history and that is very cool!! I'm a big fan of CCR as well. Just curious were you up in time for the Sunday morning Jefferson Airplane performance?? The "morning maniac music" as Grace called it lol I love that performance too. White Rabbit and Somebody To Love.
I bought the album "Hooker 'n Heat", a collaboration of Canned Heat and bluesman John Lee Hooker in 1971. It's a double album of shorter songs. I wore the vinyl out,so got the cd in the 90's Love 'em!
Bob “The Bear” Hite is the lead singer on this one. Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson was lead singer on the last song you done. Bob had such a big voice and bigger stage presence. The lead guitar is Henry “The Sunflower” Vestine. Bass is Larry “The Mole” Taylor. This was my favorite Canned Heat line up. Drummer is Fito De Laparra( spelling is wrong I’m sure).
@@jeremyfagner6808 yep at Bob's house in Topanga Canyon just up the road from the Topanga Corral where they played and The Doors song Roadhouse Blues is about the Topanga Corral.
Another request for Rory Gallagher doing this song live. There used to be a blistering performance in France on YT, but it''s no longer available by itself, however it is the last song on Rory Gallagher Concert Pour Chorus Paris, which is still there.
Another vote for Rory Gallagher's version of this. Fire! I think my favourite Canned Heat tune is "Amphetamine Annie" (not condoning anything there kids! lol).
A lot of groups have done very different renditions of this song. David Bromberg Band did a very laid back version on their great album, How Late'll You Play Til? The song was written and first recorded in the 1920s by William Harris, an early Mississippi blues man. If you like the early, genuine blues, give it a listen.
My personal favorite cover version was done by Rory Gallagher, usually done as his final encore, with the crowd fully aware of what's coming. I do love David Bromberg also
@@davebeach2343 No doubt. I mentioned Bromberg and Harris because I was thinking how many widely different versions I've heard. I'm not sure whether I like Gallagher's or Canned Heat's version better.
In 1967, this was actually the B-side to their first-ever single, "Rollin' and Tumblin'". Some of their other songs include "On the Road Again" (NOT the song popularized by Willie Nelson), and "Let's Work Together".
That's thee amazing Alan "blind owl" Wilson on lead guitar!! Sadly he is very overlooked and underrated. Plus sadly he is a member of the famous 27 club.
Canned Heat was cool with the "Bulldog Blues", a nice guitar solo too. One of the Blues Legends is Freddie King, and one of his grooviest songs is "Me And My Guitar" he really brings the grit to that song and great guitar playing too.
ok...I've NEVER heard this one before...saw the title and HAD to click it. It didn't disappoint. The story you guys told in the middle...added that much more to it. Awesome
Never heard this version before. For me the definitive version is the live performance by Rory Gallagher. You probably haven't heard of Rory but you really should check him out sometime. Amazing guitarist and performer.
Good Morning, UK fan here guys , recently found your channel and i love it, such a nice vibe , thanks for making my day a little brighter - as a suggestion for something new you may not have covered , a really cook UK band - UB40 Red Red Wine, Homely Girl or Kingston Town!
I've been requesting this song all over ReactionWorld for a year, but by Rory Gallagher, similar to his 'One Woman Blues'. Both CH and RG are blues/boogie rock legends
And what happened to Woodstock Wednesdays?!?! Lol you guys definitely have to do Canned Heat "Woodstock Boogie" and "A Change Is Gonna Come" from their Woodstock set!! 🤘✌️
I love Canned Heat among other blues inspired bands. Try "On The Road Again" & "Let's Work Together" 2 favourite vinyl 45's to D.J. with. Their Album "Boogie With Canned Heat" also has some great tracks. Thanks for your reaction.
That sounds like Harvey "the snake" Mandel on lead, and not Henry "the sunflower" Vestine. But no doubt it was Allan "the blind owl" Wilson on rythm guitar. Gotta love those 60's nickmanes lol.
Your next Canned Heat HAS to be "On The Road Again" -- It has a whole different vibe! Thanks for this reaction! ;-) On The Road Again - ua-cam.com/video/qRKNw477onU/v-deo.html
Suggestions: Trace Adkins - ‘Arlington’ (Country,) Chris Janson - ‘Drunk Girl’ (Country,) Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You’ (Country,) Bette Midler - ‘From a Distance’ (Fm Fri,) Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing’ (Yacht Rock,) Los Lonely Boys - ‘Heaven’ (Pop/Latin(?),) Toni Braxton - ‘Un-Break My Heart’ (Fm Fri,) Whitney Houston - ‘I Have Nothing’ (Fm Fri,) Jason Aldean - ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ (Country,) Dan Fogelberg - ‘Same Old Lang Syne’ (Folk,) Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father’ (Pop,) Toby Keith - ‘I Ain’t As Good As I Once Was’ (Country,) Danielle Bradbery - ‘Stop Dragging Your Boots’ (Country,) Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ (Fm Fri)
hey guys. Canned Heat awesome. Nuff said. I wanted to make a suggestion. You will not be disappointed. I promise!!! Also, it is a great choice for Female Friday. Three of the most beautiful voices ever. Three superstars. They got together out of respect and love for each others talent, and put together a super group. Okay. Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris in a group called Trio. It's like having a direct line to heaven. lots of wonderful songs to choose from (they did a couple albums together). One of my personal faves is a song called "The Sweetest Gift (A Mother's Smile). Here is a link to that one. I think this was from Dolly's TV show. Oh and if you have never seen Dolly's TV show look for the opening to it on YT. She is in the bathtub and it shows her actual hair. No wig! Anyway here is the link to the song. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/LVu2L7eCv-I/v-deo.html
Oh man, I only have 2 LPs of those but now I'm definitely going to put them back on. Yes, I only listen to vinyls because I just love them. I have two thousand of them and will leave them to my sweet daughter. I love most of your ideas and hope that you will pass them on. Thanks a lot for this !
Play refer Blues or whiskey women with John Lee Hooker. Guitar Blind Owl Wilson. They played Monterey Pop Festival in June of 1967. They played Woodstock in 1969. They have good videos at Woodstock Times Changes. Everything they played was Awesome Amazing ✌️.
Amber, you got the right "girl" reaction to real life bull frogs, lol. This is an old song covered by many artists. Great version here. John Hammond, William "Big Foot" Harris and (drum roll!) Rory Gallagher, the Irish rocker who gets no creds but just rips things up! David Bromberg does a fine version too. Next time Canned Heat comes round, please check out "Boogie Chillin' Part 1" from the Hooker and Heat album. You WILL be dancing!
This is good but nothing can measure up to RORY GALLAGHER'S live version(s) of Bullfrog Blues! I say versions because he never played it exactly the same way twice, and they were all great. Type Rory Gallagher Bullfrog Blues into the search box and the first two that come up are from The Old Grey Whistle Test 1976, and Rockpalast 1979. PLEASE react to either one, but watch both, Jay you will love them, 1st one has piano, second has amazing audience interaction, both have great bass/drum solos. oh and be sure to turn up the volume 😎
If you're getting into CANNED HEAT , then you gotta check out The Woodstock Boogie !!! I love CANNED HEAT , you can't go wrong with anything you pick next!!!!!!!!
"On the road again" and "Let's work together" are definitely two of their songs you should react to.

What a great place to leave your ashes. Love the Blind Owl.
Glad you guys are getting into Canned Heat. Very underrated in my opinion. So many great songs. Watch some of their Woodstock footage
Yeah, watch the part where a fan comes up on stage and bums a Marlboro off Bob 'The Bear' Hite. On camera. On stage. At Woodstock. Nowhere BUT Woodstock.
@@rubnsracn love that. Made it even better that Bob shoved the stage hand away and lit his cigarette for him
@@rubnsracn Yeah I love that part! Lol it's during "a change is going to come"
You must hear "On The Road Again" by Canned Heat (not to be confused with the Willie Nelson Song with the same title); it's amazing. Alan Wilson is the lead singer for "On The Road Again"; he has a different vibe compared to Bob "The Bear" Hite, who sings "Bullfrog Blues."
Yes.
100% agree, love that song!
Yes…definitely please react to “On the Road Again”. Ever time I hear of Canned Heat, I automatically think of that song.
Rory Gallagher also done a great version of Bullfrog Blues. He’s another you will need to check out
The live version where he climbs on top of his amp. Think it was for French television. He was playing a Gretsch Corvette with a Bigsby. Epic performance.
Rory Gallagher is also one of those great but very underrated musicians.
I think "Moonchild" would be a good starter.
Saw Rory along with Savoy Brown back in 71/72. Awesome concert, and I can still see Rory singing Bullfrog Blues 💙.
Rory is one of my very favorites, but I really do not like this song, even when Rory sang it.
rory's version is the best
Canned Heat was an awesome band, a "jam band" along the lines of the All man Bros or Greatful Dead. A very under-rated, under appreciated band, one of the all time greats.

All I can say is RORY GALLAGHER - Bullfrog Blues ! Can't be beat... :)
Well said🎸🎸🎸
OH yes yes , saw him live a couple of times , absolute guitar master , check out GHOST BLUES or IRISH TOUR DOCUMENTARIES. on YT .
In 1975, I was taking a train from New Mexico to Chicago.. I was sitting next to an elderly lady.. She asked me if I had ever heard of a band called Canned Heat. I told her, of course, I had.

Cool story! It's a bummer you don't remember which member it was but still a cool story!
One of my favorite bands from the 60s. Peace!
These guys introduced me, and a lot of other baby boomers. to this pared down, straight forward blues style. Thank you kindly Canned Heat
It's funny how your conversations open doors to music I've not thought about in decades.
Jim Stafford's "I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes" should added to the queue.
One of the most underrated bands... Ever! And another!
Written by William Harris in 1928. Rory Gallagher did a awesome version of this, and if you want guitar, Rory Gallagher is it.

Jimi Hendrix was once asked,
“What’s it like to be the world’s greatest guitarist?”
Jimi replied,
“I dunno man, ask Rory Gallagher.”

So did we.
Thank you mom and dad..

This is straight 12-bar blues, great for dancing and jamming.
Miss you guys! Been on the road! Thanks for doing Canned Heat! The song Boogie live at Woodstock.🤠🇺🇸🐎✌️
Congratulations on 200k!! Please try George Thorogood “ Move it on Over”!! Awesome blues worthy guitar!!🤘🔥
A very warm welcome..Mr RORY GALLAGHER........Well did you ever?
Check out Let's Work Together and On the Road Again by Canned Heat as well. 🔥
Canned Heat is canned fire!!! Great pick!🔥🤣
An insane live version of Bull Frog Blues was done by Irish Blues Guitarist and legend Rory Gallagher. Please check it out.
Now THAT'S the Blues!
In 1967, this was actually the B-side to their first-ever single, "Rollin' and Tumblin'". Some of their other songs include "On the Road Again" (NOT the song popularized by Willie Nelson), and "Let's Work Together".
Poor Moon and Shake it and Break it. So many good ones
Rollin N Tumblin and Let's Work Together are definitely a couple of my favorites from them!
That's thee amazing Alan "blind owl" Wilson on lead guitar!! Sadly he is very overlooked and underrated. Plus sadly he is a member of the famous 27 club.
Yes #1
Great to see "Bullfrog Blues" getting the respect it deserves.
Canned Heat was cool with the "Bulldog Blues", a nice guitar solo too. One of the Blues Legends is Freddie King, and one of his grooviest songs is "Me And My Guitar" he really brings the grit to that song and great guitar playing too.
Listen to “Let’s get together”, the perfect message for our times.
They also had a big hit On the Road Again
The Rythym guitar, Bass, and Drums also excellent This is the real deal, the whole package, Raw Rock🎶🥇
Canned Heat was a great rock band
This one of my favorite bands.
ok...I've NEVER heard this one before...saw the title and HAD to click it. It didn't disappoint. The story you guys told in the middle...added that much more to it. Awesome
Reminds me of Creedence Clearwater Revival... :D
Great jam!Thanks as always for bringing it!
Great blues
Jim Stafford did the song "Spiders And Snakes".
He did a song about weed too. Can't remember the title.
@@jamesanderson5268 Wild Wood Weed or Wild Wood Flower😁Some said it was a weed and some said it was a flower😁
Yep yep yep !!!
Never heard this version before. For me the definitive version is the live performance by Rory Gallagher. You probably haven't heard of Rory but you really should check him out sometime. Amazing guitarist and performer.
Amber, Rob, y'all need to watch their performance at Woodstock, "The Woodstock Boogie." It's on UA-cam.
Yes they definitely do have to!! I know they would love it for sure!!! And throw in "A Change Is Gonna Come" live at Woodstock too!!
Perfect choice! Future Blues is another must.
Henry Vestine "The Sunflower" great, unique sounding lead guitar player
My very first concert was Canned Heat - 1968!!😎😎😎😎
Our generation had the best music ever!
@@carollittle1059 , couldn't agree more. So glad some of the younger generation are appreciating it now.😎😎😎😎
Love canned heat!
I've heard OF them but never really listened to them outside of the Woodstock footage. Combination of alot of styles!
Well what the heck Bertis?! You need to delve into Canned Heat more!!!

I love Bear’s voice.

You guys should do Canned Heat Rollin and Tumblin live at Monterey Pop!!! It's a really good one for sure!!
Love some heat! You guys should give a listen to Tedeschi Trucks Band. “Midnight in Harlem”. Great vibe guys! Love the reactions.
Brilliant song, agree and highly recommend “Midnight in Harlem”
Yes. Finally Canned Heat! Thanks
Rory GALLAGHER sung this but it's a lot heaver 😊
And what happened to Woodstock Wednesdays?!?! Lol you guys definitely have to do Canned Heat "Woodstock Boogie" and "A Change Is Gonna Come" from their Woodstock set!! 🤘✌️
I love Canned Heat among other blues inspired bands. Try "On The Road Again" & "Let's Work Together" 2 favourite vinyl 45's to D.J. with. Their Album "Boogie With Canned Heat" also has some great tracks. Thanks for your reaction.
That sounds like Harvey "the snake" Mandel on lead, and not Henry "the sunflower" Vestine. But no doubt it was Allan "the blind owl" Wilson on rythm guitar. Gotta love those 60's nickmanes lol.
john mayall and bluesbreakers room to move paul butterfield born in chicago great tunes
It's the other way around the singers keep up with the guitar.
Joy to the world - Three dog night.
Do it for the fishes in the deep blue sea!
Oh Man! I haven't heard this in 50 years. Y'all listen to some great music.
Woodstock Boogie & On the Road Again
Going up the country is one of my favorites!!
Don't have to worry about Amber licking a frog! 😂🤣😂

hey guys. Canned Heat awesome. Nuff said. I wanted to make a suggestion. You will not be disappointed. I promise!!! Also, it is a great choice for Female Friday. Three of the most beautiful voices ever. Three superstars. They got together out of respect and love for each others talent, and put together a super group. Okay. Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris in a group called Trio. It's like having a direct line to heaven. lots of wonderful songs to choose from (they did a couple albums together). One of my personal faves is a song called "The Sweetest Gift (A Mother's Smile). Here is a link to that one. I think this was from Dolly's TV show. Oh and if you have never seen Dolly's TV show look for the opening to it on YT. She is in the bathtub and it shows her actual hair. No wig! Anyway here is the link to the song.

Yes live at Monterey Pop!!!
On The Road Again is a boss song. You need to do that song before you listen to anything else
Yes...the full version.....Not the short radio version...!!
Oh man, I only have 2 LPs of those but now I'm definitely going to put them back on. Yes, I only listen to vinyls because I just love them. I have two thousand of them and will leave them to my sweet daughter. I love most of your ideas and hope that you will pass them on. Thanks a lot for this !
Play refer Blues or whiskey women with John Lee Hooker. Guitar Blind Owl Wilson. They played Monterey Pop Festival in June of 1967. They played Woodstock in 1969. They have good videos at Woodstock Times Changes. Everything they played was Awesome Amazing ✌️.
Was waiting for someone to discuss canned heat.On the road again was my first song 30+ years ago
Anybody here like, the Beautiful South, I love for these two to listen to it.
Amber, you got the right "girl" reaction to real life bull frogs, lol. This is an old song covered by many artists. Great version here. John Hammond, William "Big Foot" Harris and (drum roll!) Rory Gallagher, the Irish rocker who gets no creds but just rips things up! David Bromberg does a fine version too. Next time Canned Heat comes round, please check out "Boogie Chillin' Part 1" from the Hooker and Heat album. You WILL be dancing!
So true Rory Gallagher a forgotten ignored wonder. ua-cam.com/video/cI4_eAPnJa0/v-deo.html
This is good but nothing can measure up to RORY GALLAGHER'S live version(s) of Bullfrog Blues! I say versions because he never played it exactly the same way twice, and they were all great.
Type Rory Gallagher Bullfrog Blues into the search box and the first two that come up are from The Old Grey Whistle Test 1976, and Rockpalast 1979.
PLEASE react to either one, but watch both, Jay you will love them, 1st one has piano, second has amazing audience interaction, both have great bass/drum solos. oh and be sure to turn up the volume 😎
Rory will absolutely blow their minds!!
Bullfrogs also feature in the Beatles' "Hey Bulldog" a very underrated Beatles track, and the one Ringo rates as his best drumming for the band.
The Bear and the Owl.
This tune has one Groovin Basslines. take a listen again and check out that flow on bass.
3 Chord Blues at its best right here.
Rory Gallagher “owned” that song.
If you're getting into CANNED HEAT , then you gotta check out The Woodstock Boogie !!! I love CANNED HEAT , you can't go wrong with anything you pick next!!!!!!!!
Yes I definitely agree they need to check out Woodstock Boogie live at Woodstock and A change is going to come live at Woodstock also!!!
Please please please, the next time you react to Canned Heat. Ya have to do Looking for my Rainbow. Guaranty Amber will love it.
