He actually joined Canned Heat as the successor to the departed Henry Vestine, and released his third solo album in 1969 after appearing at Woodstock. This work has a stronger rock feel than his previous two albums, with Larry Taylor of Canned Heat fully participating. The two later left Canned Heat and joined John Mayall. They also came to Japan as members of John Mayall's backing band. Experimental guitar work that foreshadows the 70s fusion/crossover boom. ① Leavin' Trunk 6:26 ② Honky Tonk 3:32 ③ I Don't Need No Doctor 3:45 ④ Dry Your Eyes 3:03 ⑤ Ridin' High 2:45 ⑥ Capurange 6:40 ⑦ Senor Blues 5:30 ⑧ Games People Play 4:45 Recorded at Wally Heider Studios Harvey Mandel - Lead Guitar Russell Dashiel - Guitar, Vocals, Organ, Piano Larry Taylor - Bass Eddie "Shades" Hoh - Drums, Perc.
