LE MONDE DU COUNTRY 75 🔗

by Musicophilia

staying away from slick Nashville sounds and focusing in on the more adventurous, expansive things happening in and adjacent to Country in the mid-70s. The rhythms are funkier, the politics are more palatable, the production is lower-key, the lyrics generally more personal and thoughtful in their story-telling way. Call it “Country for people who don’t like Country” if you want–but I’d argue it’s also truer to what Country music should be
