We’re continuing our April tour of songs about rivers that aren’t specifically about the Mississippi. Moody River was a big hit for Pat Boone in 1961, which is something of a surprise given that the song is about a woman who drowned herself in a river after cheating on her boyfriend. Happy stuff. I prefer Doc Watson’s more mournful take on the song to Pat Boone’s sanitized pop sound.
