“Going Up The Country” #11 1/25/1969

One that the young whippersnappers may recognize from those insurance ads on TV. Those of us of a certain age remember this Canned Heat tune as the unofficial theme of the Woodstock festival. It was a variation of a 1920’s song by Henry Thomas called “Bull Doze Blues” and was used in the Woodstock movie over a montage of concertgoers. In September 1970, Alan Wilson (lead singer here and “On The Road Again”) committed suicide.
