On Sunday this week it was World Rural Development Day. So of course on today’s show we are playing tracks about living in or being in the country. There’s nothing quite like feeling the fresh air in your lungs, hearing the birds calling and seeing the leaves of the tress rustling in a breeze. Many songwriters in the Seventies felt the same and waxed lyrical about the charms of country life. Or, couldn’t wait to leave it to head to the big smoke. Some aspects could do with developing, after all.

The post Going up the country appeared first on Living in the 70s.
