Hmm. I can think of lots of songs that sound outdoorsy, but not pastoral as such—they evoke different terrain types: the desert, the swamp, the mountains, the prairies, the oceans white with foam... but not the woods and leas and glens.
For some reason I associate that sort of thing with bands from the British Isles and Europe—that's really their purview: in America the landscapes tend to be big and wild and untamed, the music likewise.
English folk-rock and prog would probably be good starting points: a lot of Britprog had that Victorian country-house whimsy to it—early Genesis springs to mind. Traffic, too, esp. "John Barleycorn."
Ah: got it. Donovan's A Gift From Flower To Garden, in its entirety. |
