More than Just a Song

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

3/3. Singer Merle Haggard had a number one country hit in the US in 1969 with Okie from Muskogee. It struck a chord in Middle America, which regarded it as a long overdue backlash against the long-haired, anti-Vietnam hippie culture of the time. Presented by Robert Denselow.

(More than Just a Song is repeated on Wednesday at 8.45pm)
