"Going Up the Country" (also "Goin' Up the Country") is a song adapted and recorded by American blues rock band Canned Heat. Called a "rural hippie anthem",[2] it became one of the band's biggest hits and best-known songs.[3] As with their previous single, "On the Road Again", the song was adapted from a 1920s blues song and sung by Alan Wilson.
