"Going Up the Country" did indeed exemplify the "back to nature" spirit of the hippies. For band cofounder and vocalist Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson, it was a personal message, as he was very passionate about the environment.<br /><br />In my book, "Blind Owl Blues", I've documented Alan's great love for the natural world. He was one of the first rock stars to take up the cause of ecology, and before his death, was making plans for a charity focusing on the coast redwoods of California. If you'd like to read an excerpt or purchase a copy, it's available at http://BlindOwlBio.com.<br /><br />Thanks again for honoring Canned Heat, and don't forget to boogie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
