It’s a new month, so we say good-bye to the flood theme and focus our efforts in May across the ocean to feature songs recorded about the Mississippi River from musicians outside the US.
Let’s kick things off with the song Mississippi recorded by the Dutch group Pussycat in 1976. The song was a big hit for the group, which had at its core the sisters Kowalczyk. It’s a pleasant but rather sentimental take on the river and river life. Incidentally, the song was covered in 2004 by the Swedish group Vikingarna.
