Förde Blues Orchester: "On the Road Again"

Today we are once again highlighting our harp player and singer with "On the Road Again".
Here is his comment: "Probably the best known Canned Heat tune, published 1968. I learnt to play the blues harp by playing along with Alan Wilson, who as well did the vocal here. At the beginning of the harmonica solo is one "missing note", Alan Wilson probably mastered it by using overblowing, I do it with a valved harmonica."

Wikipedia: "On the Road Again" first appeared on their second album, Boogie with Canned Heat, in January 1968. An edited version was released as a single in April 1968 and became Canned Heat's first record chart hit and one of their best-known songs.
