Follow on Google News | Official Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson website launchCo-founder of the 1960s blues-rock band Canned Heat, Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson was one of the classic voices of his generation. His biggest hit with Canned Heat, “Going Up the Country”, is widely considered to be the Woodstock theme song.
By: Albert Hansen 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.
