Compass Points

50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, Nostalgia, Songs

We are heading in various directions this week as we include songs that reference the cardinal COMPASS POINTS North, South, East and West. The show kicks off with Cold Chisel’s Ita from their award-winning East album. In North America Patsy Cline is heading south to Mexico, Johnny Horton prefers the northern chill of Alaska while Albert Hammond is concerned with the rain in southern California. West is the popular choice of direction for the Australian Dingoes, American Village People, the English Escape Club and Benny Hill with Ernie . Tony Fisher sings of the west in relation to the Berlin wall, Max Merritt makes reference to the telecommunication system in Western Union Man, Herman’s Hermits sings of the good life in East West and Chris Farlowe has all points covered in his song North South East and West.
