Called a "rural hippie anthem",[1] it became one of the band's biggest hits and best-known songs.[2] As with their previous single, "On the Road Again", the song was adapted from a 1920s blues song and sung in a countertenor-style by Alan Wilson. Background and compositionCanned Heat, who were early blues enthusiasts, based "Going Up the Country" on "Bull Doze Blues", recorded in 1928 by Texas bluesman Henry Thomas.[3] Thomas was from the songster tradition and had a unique sound,[4] sometimes accompanying himself on quills, an early Afro-American wind instrument similar to panpipes. He recorded "Bull Doze Blues" in Chicago on June 13, 1928, for Vocalion Records.[5] For "Going Up the Country", Canned Heat's Wilson used Thomas' melody on the quills and his basic rhythm, but arranged it for a rock setting and rewrote the lyrics. In addition to the bass and drum rhythm section, Henry Vestine supplied a "light electric rhythm guitar"[3] and multi-instrumentalist Jim Horn reproduced Thomas' quill parts on the flute.[6] Although linked to the counterculture of the 1960s' back-to-the-land movement, Wilson's lyrics are ambiguous: {{poemquote|Now, baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave todayJust exactly where we're going, I cannot say, but we might even leave the U.S.A. 'Cause there's a brand new game that I don't wanna play}} Releases and charts"Going Up the Country" was first released on Canned Heat's third album, Living the Blues, in October 1968.[7] Liberty Records released the song as a single on November 22, 1968,[7] which peaked at number 11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on January 25, 1969.[8] "Going Up the Country" was Canned Heat's highest charting single in the US.[8] In January 7, 1969, the song peaked at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.[9] The song appears on several Canned Heat compilation albums, including Canned Heat Cookbook, The Best of Canned Heat (1989) and Uncanned! The Best of Canned Heat (1994).[7] AppearancesCanned Heat performed "Going Up the Country" at the Woodstock music festival in August 1969. The song has been described as the "unofficial anthem" of the festival and is featured early.[10] In the film, Woodstock, Canned Heat's spoken introduction to their performance of the song is heard, but the movie then cuts to the studio recording played over a montage of festival attendees. The 1970 soundtrack album Music from the Original Soundtrack and More features the festival performance of the song, but without the spoken intro. The original Canned Heat version was featured in "Fishing", a 1992 episode of The Wonder Years.[11] It has also been used on several television commercials for GEICO motorcycle insurance.[12][13][14] Several musicians have recorded renditions of "Going Up the Country", including Luca Prodan, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis, Deerhoof, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.[15] References1. ^{{AllMusic| class = album| id = mw0000006464| tab = review| label = Canned Heat: Living the Blues – Review| last = Planer| first = Lindsay| accessdate = November 18, 2013}} 2. ^{{cite encyclopedia| last = Pearson| first = Barry Lee| editor-last = Erlewine| editor-first = Michael| editor-link = Michael Erlewine| encyclopedia = All Music Guide to the Blues| section = Canned Heat| year = 1996| location = San Francisco| publisher = Miller Freeman Books| isbn = 0-87930-424-3| ref = harv}} 3. ^1 {{AllMusic| class = song| id = mt0035982081| tab = review| label = Canned Heat: "Going Up the Country" – Review| last = Greenwald| first = Matthew| accessdate = November 18, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite encyclopedia| last = Shadwick| first = Keith| encyclopedia = The Encyclopedia of Jazz & Blues| section = Henry "Ragtime" Thomas| year = 2007| location = London| publisher = Quantum Publishing| isbn = 978-0-681-08644-9| page = 411| ref = harv}} 5. ^Vocalion no. 1230 6. ^The flute in the album version and single version differ slightly; in one version, the third note is held for only a moment, while in the other, it is held for two or three seconds. 7. ^1 2 {{cite AV media notes| title = Uncanned!
