The Boogie House Tapes 1967 - 1976, Vol. 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the town of Overijse, Belgium there is a very special place called "The Boogie House". It is not a public location, but the home of musicologist, radio personality Walter De Paduwa aka "Dr.Boogie". He has turned his home into a private museum, dedicated to the preservation of boogie music. This unique place is always "hot" with shuffles and boogies roaring through the speakers, in contrast with the rest of the area, which is cold, cloudy and quiet like a good old middle class suburb in the centre of Europe. On occasion, Dr. Boogie has some strange guests. It is part of a ritual for a chosen group of local and international Blues musicians, to visit the Boogie House and rock with the Dr. until late hours of the night. That's how we, as members of Canned Heat, eventually met the Dr. and were invited for the first time to the Boogie House after a show in Louvain-La-Neuve. What a pleasant surprise, to discover that most of his museum was dedicated to us. It resulted in a life long friendship and a bond in our passion for this music and way of life. This CD package is a collection of previously unreleased tapes that Dr. Boogie and myself managed to collect and preserved throughout the years. With painstaking attention to detail and historical content we salvaged some of these very old tapes and mastered them digitally for this release. This is the very last collection of Canned Heat music from the 60's and 70's you are likely to hear. We don't know of any more tapes in existence from this era. To welcome the 21st century we celebrate this great band's legacy and hope that you, the Blues and Boogie audience, will enjoy hearing this music as much as we have enjoyed playing it ... "Don't forget to Boogie" Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra Drummer, member of Canned Heat since 1967 |
