Canned Heat, Help Me.
"Help me consolate my weary mind." I love that 'consolate.' Alan 'Blind Owl' Wilson at his best. I saw him and the boys at the Kaleidoscope in Hollywood in 1968. Wilson was a tortured soul and ended up a member of the 27 Club. He quit the sublunary sphere on 3 September 1970.
Aficionados of that time and place will want to read Canned Heat: The Twisted Tale of Blind Owl and the Bear.

From the comment string:
Before the album was released in UK I read a review by someone who had heard an import copy. The review said something along the lines “this album should be banned as it is liable to induce a psychotic episode in vulnerable people”. Terrific advertising – I bought a copy the day it was released.
And:
I used to play this when I wanted people to leave my house. I’d let it play over and over and they would quickly leave. It is wonderful!

This one takes me back, oh how it does, San Luis Obispo, 1970s.
