<P> During the recording for their second album, Canned Heat recorded "On the Road Again" with new drummer Adolfo "Fito" de la Parra . The session took place September 6, 1967, at the Liberty Records studio in Los Angeles . Alan Wilson used verses from Floyd Jones' "On the Road Again" and "Dark Road" and added some lines of his own: </P> <P> Well I'm so tired of cryin' but I'm out on the road again, I'm on the road again (2 ×) I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend </P> <P> For the instrumental accompaniment, Canned Heat uses a "basic E / G / A blues chord pattern" or "one - chord boogie riff" adapted from John Lee Hooker's 1949 hit "Boogie Chillen"'. Expanding on Jones' hypnotic drone, Wilson used an Eastern string instrument called a tambura to give the song a psychedelic ambience . Although Bob Hite was the group's primary vocalist, "On the Road" features Wilson as the singer, "utilizing his best Skip James - inspired falsetto vocal". Wilson also provides the harmonica parts . </P> <P> The basic riff is used again by Canned Heat on "Fried Hockey Boogie", an eleven - minute boogie by Larry Taylor which showcases the band's musicality with a series of virtuoso solo performances by members . </P>
