Dec. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Decades after his mysterious death at the age of 27, Alan Wilson has developed an increasingly passionate following. He is remembered as one of the first popular musicians to leverage his stardom for the cause of ecological awareness. This, along with his refusal to fit the typical “rock star” mold, continues to resonate with new generations of music fans. Many Wilson fans are children and grandchildren of the baby boomers who bought his original hit singles.
In this year, the 40th anniversary of his death, some of Wilson’s family members have created a website in his honor. AlanWilsonCannedHeat.com will be dedicated to preserving his legacy, and educating fans about his causes in life: music and nature. The site will launch on December 21, coinciding with the winter solstice and a lunar eclipse, in recognition of the planetary awareness he espoused.
The site will feature a biography and discography, information on the various instruments played by the multi-talented Wilson, samples of Wilson’s own writing and music scholarship, rare pictures, articles, and links to videos and web resources. There’s also information on how fans can participate in saving the redwoods of California, Alan’s vision which is being carried out by the generosity of his family members.
