Canned Heat: On The Road Again-#16-1968: As the 60s came to a close, the rock n roll scene had started to take a new direction. The once pop driven charts were not being influenced by the “flower power” and “hippie” movement of the time. LA based blues rock band, Canned Heat, with a scruffy cast of characters entered the scene and landed in the top 20 with their first single “
On The Road Again”. Peaking at #16 in the fall of 68’, it would become a much used song in years to come for TV commercial’s and movies. Several members of the band would die from drug related causes over the next few years and by 1972 they had all but disappeared from the music charts.
