Roads To Moscow is one of Al Stewart’s best songs. I have always been a history buff (my History minor was a choice not a cop-out) and this song tells a somewhat historically accurate story of: the German invasion of Russia during WW II; Russia’s retreat through the Russian country side, and the eventual Russian counter attack (aided by the Russian climate) that led to Berlin and the fall of Germany. It also presents a historically accurate twist that has the Russian soldier/narrator of the song being exiled to Siberia for the “crime” of being temporarily captured by the Germans before being released. Take a listen and as always let me know what you think.
