The singer-songwriter on the inspiration behind his immortal fuzz-rock anthem, and why it was so hard to follow up
No, I had fooled around with the music long before [Hooker’s version with Canned Heat], just playing it without words. Many songs of that nature, sort of jam songs, I believe, were inspired by very old country-blues riffs. If you listen close, there is always a little difference. Just thinking, I don’t believe I know “Boogie Chillen.” The words were inspired by listening to country-gospel lyrics, Porter Wagoner leading the way.Well, there wasn’t a guitar that was built that way.
We’d spent most of that time touring, and when we came back we did the second album quicker than we wanted to [1970’sIt went over, but not as big, and again it was really controversial. Not in a religious way and not in a dope way. I wrote “The Eggplant That Ate Chicago” and all those other jug-band/folky tunes. It made a lot of sense for me as an individual singer-songwriter to do something like that. It didn’t make as much sense to other people.
So that made the charts, but again wasn’t so big. And then I had a really big decision to make: what to do against what do I really think Ito do. I’d been living on a farm and doing this goat dairy thing in the background and raising some animals and sending my kids to Montessori and all that. I go, “You know, how about doing an acoustic album, but a really fine one that would really put Dr. West production to shame.
