Canned 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:
Now, baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we’ve got to leave today
Just 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
I’d live in Tennesse, out in the country. Tennessee is my country sir.
The USA, of course. The USA without the states on the west coast and those north of North Carolina on the east coast would be even better.
Virginia’s gotta be good for something; give me a minute…Kings Dominion (peanuts and ham you can get in NC)..
I keep hearing it’s good for Lovers.
