Track 7 of 10.
The fourth and final album from The Move, Message From The Country is widely regarded as the band's best LP. It was released in October of 1971, while the band was making the transition into the Electric Light Orchestra.
At this point, only three members of The Move remained, they are Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan. Roy Wood takes credit for the cover art yet again.
This is my favourite album by The Move. The title track is my favourite song, with The Words of Aaron coming in at a close second. Do enjoy this lovely album!
So cool to hear Jeff finding his voice, so to speak. He was looking for that lush bed of background vocals, Beatles vibe and his soul. Love it. First time I ever heard this. I have a feeling I will be purchasing a lot of Move stuff soon....

I have loved this track since i bought the album on release! Great that there are so many Move fans around. I still think that "I can hear the grass grow" is one of the best british singles ever released! BTW notahemi i agree about "Do Ya"!

You are exactly right. ELO big. The Move ignored. I'm 55 and I think I was the only person in Georgia that had the Move albums.
And I think Do Ya by The Move is better.

Just an absolutely gorgeous tune by Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, and Co. :) An undiscovered gem that begs for radio play :D
