"'In the Country'" is a song by Cliff Richard and the Shadows, released as a single in December 1966. It peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.

Release and reception



"In the Country" was written by all four members of the Shadows and was included on the pantomime cast album 'Cinderella'. The single was released with the B-side "Finders Keepers", which was the title track from the group's previous soundtrack album.

Reviewed in 'Disc', "In the Country" was described as "so hideously catchy everyone will be bouncing off the walls to it, whether they want to or not". Peter Jones for 'Record Mirror' wrote that it was "a very strong song" with "the Shads contributing the vocal wordlessness behind Cliff, who fair swings through a rather typical show tune. Has strong grow-on-you appeal".
