There are 9 out of 10 originals on the second Canned Heat album – albeit with a few “adaptions”. If 1967 was a big year for the group, then 1968 was simply huge, with two new albums and two massive worldwide hits. Adolfo de la Parra had replaced Frank Cook on drums late in 1967, and joined the band in the studio for this second LP, released in January of 1968. Who knew then that “Fito” (still in the hotseat in 2013) would become the band’s longest serving member? After a Texas station began playing “On The Road Again”, Liberty released the song as a single. With his knowledge of Eastern music, Al Wilson used a tambura drone to give the song a hypnotic effect and a psychedelic edge. Combined with his super-distinctive high-octave vocals, this was a stunning release – and became a Top 20 hit in the United States and Top 10 in the UK. Canned Heat were now international stars…
