You're so bang on there NND. The 60's are addictive.
Well... it was a decade of Weed and trips (allegedly).
Canned heat are a great band from then. Lead singer called Blind Owl. An absolute Mountain of a man. He's long time dead now I'm sad to say. I can hear influences vocally from a band of 90's/00's called Gomez whose singer's name escapes me. Definate vibes of the Owl I reckon.
The most well known songs by Canned Heat are probably "Going up the Country", "On the road Again" and "Let's Work Together". Maybe others.
Some good stuff I've heard on Albums are "Amphetamine Annie", a great Song with great guitar and importantly as stated at the beginning by Blind owl... " A song with a message".
Also Check one called "Fried Hockey Boogie". Its very long. Abut 10 minutes I think but I'm sure you'll fnd it has a whole heap of things in it.
