    Be glad recordings can preserve the worthy style of Canned Heat
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017*

As a Los Angeles-spawned group, Canned Heat is an especially rare bluesy gem from the tail end of rock's pioneering years. The unmistakable voice of Alan Wilson is yet another rare gem among white male rock vocalists. This compilation covers the band's worthy repertoire, and makes me wish the group had endured beyond the earlier, rockier years of rock, because they have a timeless sound that was ideal both when it was first released and that would work equally as well in today's blues-rock genres. Another talented band that emerged from the LA music scene (a few years before Canned Heat) and that fits this "timeless" description is Buffalo Springfield. Even though that original band and its stylistic sound are long-gone, rock fans in subsequent decades heard their founding members carry on in other incarnations. Alas, this level of notoriety in other formats was not the case with Canned Heat, so be glad that the few albums they released -- whether canned or Uncanned!--  are a legacy preserved in recorded sound.

    A Dynamite Collection
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2000*

If you're only looking for the hits you've heard on the radio, then perhaps one of the single-CD "best of" collections is the way to go.But...if you really like Canned Heat's style of blues,  "Uncanned" is a must-own.  It contains all of the hits as well as  an almost-perfect collection of the band's best output; plus, the material  was remastered for this release, and sounds wonderful (many "best  of" CDs produced and released from 1980-1990 suffer from horrible  mastering and analogue-to-digital transferring--not so for  "Uncanned").Canned Heat deserved much more success and  recognition than it received, and this 2-CD set will show you why.  No  blues band could boogie better! Plus, a nice booklet with the band's  history, discography, and extensive liner notes is included, so what more  could you want?

    good music, better memories
  

*by K***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2004*

I hadn't heard this stuff in decades, and if anything, it was better than I remembered.  Very cool California hippie/biker blues band.  Clearly repectful of the tradition, these guys were good players (fine harp and guitar) and evolved a  unique sound.  I'm surprised (like another reviewer) that they left off "Fried Hockey Boogie," but I guess this disc is meant to emphasize the straighter blues stuff and downplay the 60s wierdness.  Too bad, if you ask me. Still, a fine, bluesy party disc. Recommended.
