I always thought these two Canned Heat songs, Going Up the Country, and On the Road Again, were perfect hippie ballads. They were old blues songs, but Canned Heat gave them that perfect hippie vibe. They also captured that Dharma Bums/On the Road, wanderlust of the hippies, and Going Up the Country implies that back-to-the-garden ideology. Blind Owl's falsetto adds the perfect finishing touch to making these songs iconic to both the movement and the era.
So many songs from both the movie and the play that are the best songs about hippies----as if it was an American Tribal Love-Rock Musical... ...Oh! Wait... I'll be damned! (LMAO!) Seriously though---so many great song about hippies. I think I mentioned this on HipForums recently, but I was the very first person in the world to buy a ticket to the movie-----as I got my friends together and went early to the World Premier showing. I was expecting a long line, but no one was there for another half hour or so. I was the first in line to buy a ticket. Only Beverly D'Angelo got naked in the movie. (I think it was her 2nd movie). I wish I knew who she was then, I would have payed more attention to the cast in the reserved seating! Here are some other songs---the first one showing a Be-In: And, hey, we were only human. Hippies weren't saints. But we tried... Our heart was in the right place, generally...:
