Canned Heat’s “On the Road Again” (1968)
Canned Heat’s “On the Road Again” (1968) is a hypnotic blend of vintage blues and psychedelic rock that still hits hard today. Alan Wilson’s eerie falsetto,
a driving boogie beat, and the unexpected shimmer of a traditional Indian tambura create a sound that’s both timeless and otherworldly.

and the call of the open road. A live show favorite and a genre-blending classic, it’s one of those tracks that never fades.
