I love this guy! His style - he comes at you from another place and time. I recently went back and listened to Canned Heat's performance at Woodstock and not to take anything away from the rest of the band but for me, Alan was the show! Where can I get this recording please? I couldn't find it on Spotify or Amazon and I want the whole album if there's one available. Thanks in advance! Cheers - Luther

What ever happened with these guys? They used to be in and around Eugene Oregon. I do remember they did a fund raiser and took off to I know not where. I hope they are all well.

awesome stuff, thanks for posting. Blind owl was one of the few that could play along with (in fantastic form) with the original old bluesmen. He was a blues historian as was Bob Hite and is what brought Alan a Bob together. Bob had an amazing collection of blues vinyl (think he even had a little record store for awhile) and he invited Alan to check it out at his house..........the rest is history. Boogie on, love the Canned Heat and especially Alan,Blind Owl, Wilson.....RIP.

It's cool he mentions the Unicorn coffee house in Boston, Mass., where he had a gig. It was a small venue but had the likes of John Fahey, Tom Rush, and Bonnie Rait to name a few, who had their humble beginnings there.

I didn't know til now that this recording even existed. I've loved John Hurt for over 50 years but, I didn't realize how great a harp player Alan Wilson was. He must've been a kid when this was recorded and the sound on here is excellent. This is a gem. Thank you!

I suppose from my song history that many know I substitute the symbol 'barn" for the Island on our great Flattops built by my close friends and Phi Kap brother's.

I have Fahey's own copy of his book on Charlie Patton or sometimes Charley. John brought Blind Owl to the West to help with the writing. Fahey was invited to a fried chicken dinner by John and Mrs. Hurt. These saints were never in this world.

I thought so..the photo of Hurt is on Rainbow Quest,check those out.when I listen to these songs my spirit "is clearing for action". John A Fahey got fed up with it.when the Takoma Park fret man,who claimed to have the strongest thumb in the business..said "Robert I am going to put your painting on the cover of an album I am naming War..it all checked out Alan Wilson met Jim Morrison in Venice. Everything authentic there: free peanuts and sawdust on the floor..

Gives me goosebumps. I’m becoming more aged as I listen to your music Alan. Found you when I was about 17, now I’m almost 20 still listening to you. If I ever have kids; damn sure they’re gonna know your name. It amazes me what you did at such a young age. Makes me think about my life. I just wish I had the honor to see you live. It would patch a hole in my soul. I hope you’re resting in peace, love you.

Actually, when Mississippi John Hurt was "rediscovered", he was a semi-retired farm hand whose main duty was to feed the cows. In the earliest version of this song by him that I'm aware of, The Library of Congress recordings, it start off as a song about his women leaving him, and ends up with him being hooked by a cow he is feeding. In this version, which is later, it's about getting wounded by a cow he was feeding, & him refusing ever to feed cows again, so in one way it's about a worker refusing to do dangerous work anymore, but Mr. Hurt was a very creative & humorous man, and I suspect he's singing about the fact that he ain't ever going back to work on the farm again. In the actual recording that was done at his home on the land of the farmer he was working for, the session of his singing to prove that he was the actual Mississippi John Hurt of lore, were actually ended when he made note of the fact that he was late in feeding the farmer's cows.
