It's been a few years since we premiered our mewsic feature "Retro Country Rewind," a look back at favorite songs that hit #1 during that month from 30, 35, 40 plus years ago. In this new year we'll be delving into #1 hits from 1972, 1977, 1982, and so on. Let's take a look at July for this freebie week in the Mewsic Moves Me blog hop...

45 Years Ago - 1977, Almost Like a Song, Ronnie Milsap
40 Years Ago - 1982, Don't Worry 'Bout Me Baby, Janie Fricke
40 Years Ago - 1982, Take Me Down, Alabama
35 Years Ago - 1987, That Was a Close One, Earl Thomas Conley
35 Years Ago - 1987, The Weekend, Steve Wariner
We hope you enjoyed our choices this week! Let us know if you have a favorite.
I remember all of these with the exception of the first by Hank Williams Jr and Earl Thomas Conley's "That Was A Close One". Steve Wariner sounds more like soft rock than country. Great song set. Have a boogietastic week, furriends!
I always find it interesting how country music changes with the times. The 70's and early 80's were filled with orchestras in the arrangements. The 90's brought us back to the roots, with Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and Vince Gill. I'm not sure where country is taking us now, but I'm not sure I like it much.
I must admit I am not as familiar with this MEWSic as you are, but I am aware of the celebrities. I have a hearing problem that makes high-pitched sounds painful for me. Nonethless I am very impressed with your extensive knowledge of the subject. You go, girl!

You can tell Lynn's age by all the songs she recognizes and likes still
ReplyDeletetoday. She is no fan of today's country music.
Thanks for the nostalgia. I feel so old listening to these mostly sad songs. Long ago days. We won't have them back.
