group that began in the '60s?

The creative forces with this group died early, but I think they still carry on to some extent.

One of the most underrated blues-folk bands of that era.

They were actually pretty big back in the day. Played Woodstock among other things. I will say though, that their genre--white boy blues--popular in the 60's, hardly exists today.

I meant underrated in terms of how they are viewed by contemporary listeners, critics, and music historians.

They seem to be a forgotten act by many individuals.

Of course they were one of the more reputable acts during that time period.

they aren't forgotten by any means
it's just that when bob hite died they pretty much ceased to be canned heat

they still tour and whatnot
it's not like they were ever a seminal act

They sure aren't mentioned in the many, many 60's look-back TV shows and movies. Strange, they were a popular band in their time.

Good friend of mine thought this was the ultimate song to start an acid trip with. I have to admit, it goes well with that shite eating grin that comes across your face when you start coming on to the Beast.

Most of their stuff was too long/improvisational to put on top 40 radio. Goin' Up The Country was probably their biggest hit but also probably their worst song. Refried Boogie was outstanding. They did a set at the P'ville Pop Festival and were quite good.
