Canned Heat is an American blues rock band founded by Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson and Bob "The Bear" Hite in 1965. The band's classic line-up consisted of Wilson on slide guitar, vocals and harmonica, Hite on vocals and harmonica, Henry "The Sunflower" Vestine on lead guitar, Larry "The Mole" Taylor on bass and Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra on drums.
The music and attitude of Canned Heat attracted a large following and established the band as one of the popular acts of the hippie era. Canned Heat appeared at most major musical events at the end of the 1960s, performing blues standards along with their own material and occasionally indulging in lengthy "psychedelic" solos.
