A season's retrospective in country album? (5)
I believe the answer is:
atlas
'country album?' is the definition.
'atlas' can be an answer for 'album?' (I have seen 'Album of maps' mean 'atlas' so perhaps 'album' could also mean 'atlas'). I'm not certain of the 'country' bit.
'a season's retrospective' is the wordplay.
'season' becomes 'salt' (salting is a kind of seasoning).
'retrospective' says the letters should be written backwards.
'salt' in reverse letter order is 'tlas'.
'a'+'tlas'='ATLAS'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atlas that I've seen before include "In Greek myth, a Titan made to support the heavens" , "Large-format book" , "Size of paper once" , "African mountain range" , "used for maps" .)
