Internal Combustion

Canned Heat

A 1994 resurgence of the band's signature boogie. Thick harmonica leads and driving shuffles meet a polished studio grit that honors their Mississippi blues roots.

It's the ultimate 'windows down on the highway' record for people who think the blues should always make you want to move.

A driving, blue-collar energy that feels both road-weary and revitalized.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic lock-in during the final two minutes of John Lee Hooker Boogie where the harmonica mimics the vocal cadence.
The environmental plea of Dear Mother Earth which breaks the standard blues mold with its slower, more contemplative tempo.
The crisp, dry snare hits that drive the opening of Nothing at All, establishing a modern 90s punch for the classic boogie sound.
