Why this album mattered

"On the Road Again" is a song recorded by the American blues rock group Canned Heat in 1967. Unlike most of Canned Heat's songs from the period which were sung by Bob Hite, second guitarist and harmonica player Alan Wilson provides the distinctive high-pitched vocal, sometimes described as a falsetto. "On the Road Again" first appeared on their second album, Boogie with Canned Heat, in January 1968. It reached #76 and charted for 23 weeks. Major singles from the album include "On The Road Again".
