One of the most underrated bands of the era. Their music was based on stuff that spanned from the roots of 1940 - 50's blues and r n b, through the psychedelic 60's. Canned Heat are sadly and unfairly overlooked these days. Also, they were amazing LIVE performers. (Saw 'em twice.) They weren't anchored to studio wizardry. They were true dedicated students of their craft. This piece even, at times, swerves closely to what is called Krautrock!!

I, too, saw them a couple times; their live shows could be be uneven if they had their heads in the medicine jar. That's not to say they were anything but entertaining all the time. I was at one of those ubiquitous all-day outdoor concerts, this one at Aztec Bowl at San Diego State (May 11, 1969, "Spring Fling" w/Tarantula, Santana, Lee Michaels, Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, from Noon to Who cares? $2.50) and Bob "Bear" Hite (RIP) smoked a joint as he sang. During the set some loon ran onstage with a burlap sack full of freshly yanked weed plants and started pitching them into the audience. It was the first time I ate acid, an unintended double dose ("Wait! Oh shit... that was supposed to be for both of us! Oooh, man, you are gonna be _so-o-o_ high! 😳😀😂😬😵🤡⚡👁️🌋🚀and I was, too), but it was an indelible experience that's impossible to convey. I bought this album the next day. The newly released first Santana album, too.

@@robertlewis1875 The first Santana album was not released until August of 69. They played at Woodstock before their first album was released. Bill Graham was their manager and was asked to organize Woodstock and he said he would as long as Santana was added to the lineup, and history began. Santana played Woodstock on Aug. 16th, the first album was released Aug 30.

The term I seem to remember wasn't psychedelic, but "trippy" for some reason sound better when one is stoned. Years later, I listened to this album straight, and I couldn't believe that I was hearing something different than I remember: parts I found that I enjoyed more, but the parts I thought was great I realized was pure strange.

I would think the blind owl had something to do with the name of this. Parthenogenesis derived from Greek and means natural creation. It is a natural form of asexual reproduction and occurs in plants also. The blind owl was heavily into plants and environment.

What he probably means is that you have to either be in touch with your inner self, involving deep thought and/or meditation/relaxation, or have had enough hallucinogenic experiences to know what this kind of music effects you like, and how to appreciate it. -.- Which is conditional not based on time, but our own individual natures and/or nurtures. It helps to have older figures in your life that showed you real Rock, Folk, and Blues.....

Which makes me think, "As good as side one is (and it's perfect) side two could have had six or seven more killer and concise tracks and been white hot". As it is I agree. Disparate pieces thrown together for the sake of filling an entire side. Sides four and five are ok. But they accomplished that already and in a quarter of the time on Boogie With Canned Heat. I'm not looking for Canned Heat to be John Coltrane or Can.

Tune a guitar to open D-flat-5 (Db-Ab-Db-Ab-Ab-Db), then play the harmonics (that is, rest your finger on the strings and pick without pressing them down to the frets) on the 12th, 7th, 5th, 7th frets. It's very simple. John Fahey, who plays guitar on this piece, used similar harmonics for his "Requiem for Russell Blaine Cooper" in 1967: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHakiqWpj7KeZ9k
