Canned Heat, from Los Angeles were near Hippie musical icons. With songs like Going Up The Country, from this album, and On The Road Again, from Boogie with Canned Heat, no one from the 60's will forget them. This is a good of AOR, or album oriented recording, whereby the entire record is intended to be played sequentially, culminating with the live performance, Tracks 18 & 19 recorded 100% live at the Kaleidoscope, Hollywood, California. Jim Horn on flute is interesting. He has played sax, or flute for many artist, including each of the solo Beatles, David Letterman's CBS Orchestra, and numerous others.
