CANNED HEAT - ON THE ROAD AGAIN 

If you love this song my friend, we are soul brothers

I dont even smoke weed but when I listen to this I smell it

A lot of people think they can play the harmonica, this guy really could.

I didn't realize that Alan Wilson was a member of the "27" club. He died 2 weeks before Jimi and 4 weeks before Joplin. What a cool haunting voice he left us.

man did we party to canned heat boogie in the early 70's. boy was that the time to live as a teenager :).

One of the (if not THE) best harmonica performances ever.

I was born 1959 Houston Texas Mexican American I joined the US Navy at the age of 17 I served 6 years always out at sea and then on the road again I'm just glad that now approaching 61 years old I don't have to be on the road any more God is good to those that want to be good in their heart peace to every one!👍💪😎 Paul Garcia.

I'm a disabled veteran at 60 yrs of age in Boyle Heights ELA ... My walking song always ... Classic 😎🇺🇸

Al Wilson was pure genius... musically, intelligence and as with most gifted people, introverted and socially awkward. Reminds me a lot of Sid of Pink Floyd. God puts these extraordinarily gifted people in front of us to enjoy for only a short time ... so enjoy their greatness.

It's ironic that songs so full of sadness, pain and suffering give us such joy and happiness.

The long version. This is a masterpiece.

GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN HERE AND SMOKE A JOINT AND REMEMBER HEARING THIS ON THE RADIO,, GOOD TIMES

50 years since the Blind Owl left this world but his musical legacy has never left us.

I worked at a McDonalds in the San Fernando Valley in 1967-68 and they would come in (before they were famous) and eat burgers inside the enclosure where they ordered instead of eating outside at a table (no inside seating yet at McD's at that time) They had a VW bus and had the cover of their first album taped in the window as an advertisement Later I met one of them at AA meeting in West LA and Bear would sometimes sing at the Topanga Corral where I used to go before sobriety, but I was never there when he was Great group and great sound

One of the greatest songs of all time. I want it played at my funeral!!

LYRICS: Well, I'm so tired of crying But I'm out on the road again I'm on the road again Well, I'm so tired of crying But I'm out on the road again I'm on the road again I ain't got no woman Just to call my special friend You know the first time I traveled Out in the rain and snow In the rain and snow You know the first time I traveled Out in the rain and snow In the rain and snow I didn't have no payroll Not even no place to go And my dear mother left me When I was quite young When I was quite young And my dear mother left me When I was quite young When I was quite young She said, "Lord, have mercy On my wicked son." Take a hint from me, mama Please don't you cry no more Don't you cry no more Take a hint from me, mama Please don't you cry no more Don't you cry no more 'Cause it's soon one morning Down the road I'm going But I ain't going down That long old lonesome road All by myself But I ain't going down That long old lonesome road All by myself I can't carry you, baby Gonna carry somebody else

once there was time, when we were so free in heart, mind and spirit, we could travel in any and all musical directions... no limits or boundaries of thought an creativity... this fabulous song encapsulates that Spirit

This song starts in your bones

love this song. the drone is so hypnotic, along with the harmonica, they should have made it a 20m track, covering one side of the album. never get tired of this.

This song is Alan Wilson at his best- a few years before madness planted its flag in Wilson`s great mind. As Hooker said, Wilson was one of the great harp players-right there with Little Walter.The tembura-with its mysticism-was Alan`s idea.And the vocals-pure Skip James. Hite, Vestine, Taylor and Fito were talented .But Wilson was in a class of his own-an example of Schopenhauer`s dictum: "Genius and madness are sure near allied-and thin is the partition that between them does divide."

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME, CLASSIC !

I was born 1959 Houston Texas Mexican American my older cousins exposed me to good music starting at the age of 10 I joined the US Navy at the age of 17 I was always on the road for 6 years nice beautiful song Paul Garcia👍💪😎

You become Instantly Awesome when you hear this.

Thanks Haake for posting the whole song, the extended solo is oft left out. This version if you know nothing of Alan is the epitome of blues harp. Yes they had to double, triple etc. the harpsichord sound but the harp is so rich. And his vocals live on in commercials, on the radio an in our heads still to this day. The real deal!

There are a lot of Best Ever songs. And this is certainly one of them.

Never forget walking into a mammoth, darkened cave-like bar in Boulder with friends in '68 after traveling from western PA to bring a bud who'd transferred to U of Colorado back east for Christmas break, and this Canned Heat classic was reverberating off the rock walls adding the mellowest touch to the coolest place i"d ever seen before or since.

I was about 12 ... had older siblings ... basically a motorcycle family ....heard this song and hit the road at about 15 ....all over the country....got a trade ...62 years old now ....was a commercial fisherman ....high rise builder ....specialty concrete work ....came to Hawaii ...kicked ass ... retired now on acerage ...nobody fucks with me ...peace on earth ....little town...peace at last ....this song help me get here !!!!

I GET THE CHILLS every time I HERE THIS!!!! LOVE IT! REAL MUSIC REAL TIMES!!!!.

It´s my favorite Canned Heat song - followed by 'Going Up The Country'. Thanks!

I have a vision of myself driving my Citroen down a desert road in New Mexico with the sun going down, a tumbleweed passing on the side, with this song playing full-blast.

My momma loved this song and so do I. Takes me back. Smoove.

When my friends and I first heard this back in the 60's we laughed because it was so different especially the vocals. It sounded like he was singing out of tune, like they picked somebody off the street to sing this song. It sounded great! I always picture a train engine when I hear the beginning and the end of the song, that drone sound. When I hear this tune now I'm amazed at how good it is.

One of my favorite bands ever.

Story of my life, then and now over 50 years later and still kickin' it!

J'écoute cette chanson depuis plus de 50 années et jamais, jamais, jamais je ne me lasse de l'écouter ! Je trouve même que plus le temps passe et plus mon plaisir est immense !!!

This song defines a generation.

The Owl lives! He shall never die!

I love his harp playin and he was also a master with the bottlekneck!!!

the voice is art of music..

ALL SURFERS WERE ON THE ROAD AND THIS SONG WAS THE SOUL....DEEP IN BAJA MEXICO.....1965........MUSIC!!!! AND WOLF MAN radio!!!!!!

this song haunts me everytime i heart it. a masterpiece!

Best I've ever heard this. It's like sunlight sparkling on water. Thanks

Excellent falsetto and harp! Saw them in FL in 1968 I think. 😁 Missed them in Woodstock.

What 1 helluva time to be alive. Canned heat Janis, Etta,Muddy, Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker...way too many to list. Mercy, mercy.

This song 'Defined' the 1960's...........I know, I was there and lived it!!!..................Local, So Cal guys!............I use to eat at Bobs, 'BIG BOY' and see "BIG BEAR", Bob Hite! there!............He picked up my tab one afternoon!..........They were Great!......RIP, Guys!!!

This song reminds me of my younger days in Chicago with one of my good friends i was his riding partner on his Harley we went everywhere that was in Chicago were my heart and memories will always be if you could only go vack in time would be nice life is short never know when your time is coming!!

what a piece of sound recording man. hats off sir/madam.

blind owl always seemed to paint a visual that you could feel by floating in between the notes, while being hypnotically lulled by his voice

Sipping an ice cold cane sugar 𝒞𝑜𝒸𝒶-𝒞𝑜𝓁𝒶 with tequila and lime; while *On The Road Again* is playing from an unlicensed Mexican radio station at a fuel stop convenience store, in a hot two road southern Arizona town in the middle of nowhere.

ive always adored this intro ,,,what a very special voice this lovely guy as ,,,,This classic will live until eternity,,,, sadly we wont xxx the sound is so stunning xxlol

wow! great song! they dont make'em like that anymore

This is music. ❤️

Lord have mercy on these wicked sons! All time classic Great

If I were to be fortunate enough to get a radio job ever again, I would love to play this version, not the edited version, just like I did when I spent a couple of years at KSHE-95

Blind Al was and is the best, his version of Skippy James vocal style is fantastic. Alan left to soon. This song is simple but like all great blues, works very very well.

Again keep coming back to listen to this ! Every time gets better and better 👌

Had Permission from EMI as this is the OFFICIAL CANNED HEAT You Tube Channel - Don't Forget To Boogie

Smokin great california weed and jamming out at 64 yo. Thank you Jesus !

Don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever forget to boogie!

This tune is a wonderful drug.

Just superb ! Timeless 👌 what playing by band ❤️

People who put thumbs down don't have good taste in good music that song was awsome I've listened too the song back in the 70s

This tune is so way trippy. If you listen to this and it doesn't get your head straight, there is no hope for you.

My band n I used to play there music,back in the day.i played the drums n still do..I also play the hermonica to this as well love canned heat..listen to it still ..

Adore this song!!

Man I love love love this song!

On the Road Again est une chanson du groupe de musique américain Canned Heat parue le 21 janvier 1968 sur leur second album Boogie with Canned Head puis en single le 24 avril 1968 aux États-Unis, avec Boogie Music en face B.

Must one of the greatest blues harpists.

I could listen to their music all day and and it's the best music theme all this rap carp they have out, canned heat IS and will be the best.

This the essence of Cool. Your instantly Cool if you listen to this

This one really rules. Makes me want to jump on a Harley, turn on my sunglasses and get on the road again :)

Brilliant 👌 just amazing musicians 🎸😎

Wow can Al Wilson ever blow that Blues Harp.... This just makes me want to take off and drive.

I'm listening to this before I go to bed so I can dream of driving

J'ai toujours adoré et j'adore encore, indémodable, pure merveille !

I will never forget

I love this song!

Still a beautiful song.

Oh the days, even saw them live at the Texas International Festival between Fort Worth and Dallas at a racetrack in Lewisville.

Goes great with a trip.

Brilliant.

One of my favorite songs

This a tone poem to life 😎

Bliss....pure and simple bliss :)

Read Fito's book. The Heat used to depend on Wilson to write HITS for them. And he never failed.

This is the Original Full Length L.P. Version from BOOGIE WITH CANNED HEAT - 1968

Can't think of another song that makes me play air harmonica

This sounds like driving a motorcycle at a high speed on a highway around the great plains

love this

a song to ride on a powerful bike on a sunny day :D

I think you and I must be the biggest Blind Owl fans out there--we are always posting things about him. I can't get over his death. That's probably not healthy, but I just keep grieving for him. I hope you're handling it better than I am. Cheers.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

i have looking fore so long fore this song , and i could not find this and now i found it yessssssss

Very nice piece. Different genres of music expresses parts of my personality. This one is more of a constant expression.

Listen to how Alan holds that note, from 3:10.

hermosa, eterna, sin igual para siempre

Alan Wilson arriva dal paradiso per cantare questa canzone

If you remember the 60's then you weren't there!😂

Well it chills me out, 2020 😎💖
