Just been down a Bind Owl (Alan Wilson) rabbit hole. He's the tragic member of Canned Heat. Big blues historian and fantastic harp player, but a bit "spergy" as the fashion has it.

Listening to the Canned Heat catalog up to 1970, when Blind Owl died of an overdose of Reds in Bob Hite's backyard. Read an excellent biography of Blind Owl last week: https://www.amazon.com/Blind-Owl-Blues-Mysterious-Legend/dp/0615792987. There's also an anthology of his Canned Heat tracks with a nice intro by their drummer Fito de La Parra: https://www.amazon.com/Blind-Owl-Alan-Wilson/dp/B00B2MAAM8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2726NG1L83OTK&keywords=the+blind+owl&qid=1660922599&s=music&sprefix=the+blind+owl%2Cpopular%2C472&sr=1-1

Looking at these comments really dates me.
