Perth County Conspiracy - "Old Ways / Hurray For The Farmer" - Kanada (1975)

Canadian folk-hippie legends The Perth County Conspiracy recorded their final album 'Kanada' (a.k.a. 'Break Out To Berlin') behind the Iron Curtain in East Berlin in February 1975. The album was recorded in several sessions over a three-day period, following the group's appearance at the 'Fifth Annual Festival of Political Song', where many (communist and predominantly state-sponsored) bands from the Eastern bloc and other countries gathered from across the world. With statewide broadcast of the festival providing advertising, the final PCC album reportedly sold upwards of 80,000 copies in the Soviet bloc. Whether or not that figure is true, it certainly stands as one of the band's best efforts, and it was cut with an audiophile-level quality of high fidelity. Since the album has never been reissued on CD, here is what the original AMIGA pressing sounds like. // LYRICS (Cedric Smith/Milton Acorn): Oh, it isn't like the old days But there's a feeling still around Of a time when independence wasn't being alone Looking out for one's own And he still recalls the old ways When the horses pulled the plow Now life was hardly simple, but a neighbor lent a hand And you worked close to the land (Good country feeling) Hurray for the farmer Aching backbone of the country He's got more things to fix And less to fix them with than anybody Hurray for the farmer Aching backbone of the country He's got more things to fix And less to fix them with than anybody Talk about early rising... (Yawn...)
