It’s Earth Day today (Saturday, 4/22), so I thought I would do one of my favorite songs with that theme in mind. “Boy From The Country” was written and recorded by Michael Martin Murphey in 1972 and then covered by John Denver in 1975, which pretty much launched Murphey’s career as a nationally known artist. I read somewhere that Murphey wrote the song about St. Francis of Assisi, which would make sense, but I haven’t been able to verify that. Nice thought, though. Anyway, it’s a great song and the sentiments it conveys apply as much or more today than when it was written in the 1970’s. Hope you enjoy it!
