This edition of Beat Goes On's two-fer series features a pair of LPs by the British boogie blues band Savoy Brown: Boogie Brothers and Wire Fire, originally issued on London in 1974 and 1975. Highlights among the 17 tracks include "Boogie Brothers," "Born into Pain," and a cover version of Bo Diddley's "You Don't Love Me." Casual listeners should pick up The Savoy Brown Collection on Polygram before delving into these recordings. ~ Al Campbell

Though there was no specific hit on Hallelujah, this album contains Canned Heat's fully developed blues chops and a slightly newfound political edge. Of special note is "Sic 'Em Pigs," an entertaining anti-police anthem, featuring drummer Fito de la Parra, Alan Wilson, and Henry Vestine making pig noises. Canned Heat Cookbook was the first greatest-hits compilation from the band, released originally in 1970, and contains the band's three hit singles, "Goin' Up the Country," "On the Road Again," and "Let's Work Together" (the latter wasn't actually part of the original LP; it was added to this 2002 compilation by Fuel 2000). ~ Al Campbell
