Reheated is an album by Canned Heat, released in 1988. Just two members of the classic lineup, Fito de la Parra and Larry Taylor, are present on this album. The new members are accomplished musicians who have been able to revamp the music played without straying from the original spirit of the band. Bullfrog blues was indeed on the B side of the first single recorded by Canned Heat in 1967. Most tracks on the album are blues-rock songs recorded by various performers during the previous three decades. Built for comfort by Willie Dixon has been made popular by Howlin' Wolf. Take me to the river is a r'n'b song which has been recorded by scores of artists such as Al Green or Talking Heads. An odd item seems to be Tom Waits' Gunstreet girl but it is played with a remarkable drive and Canned Heat have always been able to create their own music from such improbable sources.
