I'd look at "Country Roads" and "Annie's Song" among many others. John was sort of an crossover artist. A little Folk, a little Country, some Bluegrass and some easy rock and roll. Plus on top of that he was a wonderful story teller.

I watched him fly over my home to land in our small local airport that day, on his journey a bit more North.Not knowing it was him until the local news that evening, showing him with his aircraft at the airport.

@classicrocklady6288 2 года назад

A lot of people didn't like him in that era. He didn't fit the typical music of the time. They tried to pigeon hole him as country, but that genre did not accept him either. Although he won country music best artist one year, he was still not accepted. He himself described his music as just Western, he loved the west and, yes, environmental issues. Wish that you would delve deeper! The Eagle and the Hawk, Calypso, Annie's Song, Poems, Prayers and Promises...it's just endless. And his voice was exactly that clear and rich in person. An amazing artist. So glad that more people are appreciating him now. Loved your reaction!!! RIP John. You are missed 😢

@Classic Rock Lady You are absolutely correct. What I've found is that you either love John Denver or you hate him, there's no middle ground. The only one I can think of is my husband. He isn't a fan of John Denver, but at our wedding he sang Denver's song Follow Me. He also sang Anne Murray's song Candle On The Water. He wasn't really a fan of hers either. But he like those songs and they had the content that showed how he really felt about me.

@gatorcock79 2 года назад

He wrote one of the most definitive songs of the Vietnam era, Leaving on a Jet Plane. It was a ballad about a soldier leaving his girlfriend for the War, and became a folk classic almost immediately (Peter, Paul & Mary were most famous, but it was covered by many others). Although "famous," he wasn't properly appreciated now or even when he was alive.

My dad passed from dementia when he was 52, himbeing gone 12 years this Nov. is wild. And with John Denver’s death day just a few days ago... it reminded me of how much my dad loved John.... when the plane crash hit the news, my dad taped over home vhs footage to record the news and every special that was done on his life. The first songs he taught me on the guitar were also John Denver. Blah. I could sing every word to ever song, truly a unique artist. Sorry for rambling

@KevinRCarr 2 года назад

I wouldn't consider him a country artist, I'd consider him to be a crossover artist, someone who has roots in several genre. He was a little bit pop, a little bit folk, and little bit country, combined under the overall heading of Singer/Songwriter. He truly was of that time, though, and was part of a group of singer/songwriters that included James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Jim Croce, Jackson Browne, John Prine, and a few others whose names elude me at the moment...all from that late 60s into the mid 70s era.

Sunshine On My Shoulders, Rocky Mountain High, Annie's Song, Country Boy, Take Me Home Country Roads, Calypso...omgosh...he had so many wonderful song...the ones I listed were just the first to come to mind, but I know if I thought about other songs I love that he sang...the list would be like 5 times longer.

John was a Naturlist in a broad since, not a hippy or an "Activist" just someone that showed us at the time that we could work with nature, with his love of the outdoors nature was. to be part of nature not just in nature. and not just to pave eveything over with concreate. like I said he was not an "Activist" just show everyone with understanding how much nature meant. it was not in your face like it is now. nor was it my way or else. but simple understanding of the connection we all have to nature. he gave respect without question to everyone. his personality on the subject of working with nature was captivating . he got you to understand with out yelling or protesting just watching what he enjoyed doing, being out with nature.

@waltobringer2928 2 года назад

The reason that John's vocals are so different is that he is an Irish Tenor. His style of music was more Folk than country. I really can't complain about any of his music but he surprised once when I saw a video of him playing a piano beautifully and singing a song called "For you".

@BartholomewSmutz 2 года назад

A live version can't really sound like a studio version of a song since in the studio many hours and recording and production techniques are used to get a song to sound as close to perfect as possible. In a live performance you get one shot to do it right without any help from a sound engineer. However even a live album can be tweeked in a recording studio. Saying all that, John Denver seems to sound just as good live as on a recording.

When I was young, I discovered John Denver; his were many of the first songs I learned to play on my guitar. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your face as you listened to this song; John was not country, he was a folk artist who had songs that crossed over into both pop and country, and a bit of bluegrass. He has a substantial catalog, take a dip in the pool now and then, he is refreshing when life becomes a bit too citified to me!

The 70s, particularly, gave us such a broad range of artists in music. Their poetry was better, their raw vocal talent and their ability to play instruments was, imo, better than any decade since. We could listen to music influenced by the history of life, art, poetry and the human experience, from so many interpretations. It was a unique era for music and I feel fortunate to have been young enough to rock to it, yet old enough to understand it as expressions of the times. Music was a body, mind and soul experience back then.

John Denver is timeless and always will be. He left behind a great legacy of music.

The first time I heard him sing was when George Burns brought him to the Johnny Carson show and George told Johnny that he wanted to hear this new kid he discovered . I was blown away by his voice and so was everyone there on the show. I'm glad we had to get up to change the channels then because my late husband was a channel surfer .

He WAS unique, and anachronistic to some extent... and he was an extraordinary talent. I remember the 'cool' folks weren't so excited about him, but if you have an ounce of music in you, you cannot ignore his talent, and if you have a heart you cannot ignore his soul. rest in peace.

You have to hear Sunshine on My Shoulders...his voice in that is so crystal clear. Top song of 1971 for a reason!

When this album first came out my mother won it from a radio station, and we still have it. He started Folk Rock in the 60's.

John Denver grew up in New York city, but always dreamed of the rocky mountains as a boy, so the second he was grown he moved to Colorado became a country singer and sang about his adopted home.

My absolute favorite singer all through my teens and twenties - I learned to play guitar because of him - his songs touch me deeply

I was 12 when this song came out (1972), while growing up in NY. The song created a yearning to experience the Rocky Mountain High (Colorado). I moved to Colorado in '79.

Thanks for this reaction - JD was hard to "classify" - he was not quite country, sort of folk-y - but also very "pop" -- I love him! (he also had a bit of an acting career)

My Mom and I went to see him in Concert in 1981. It was probably one of the best concerts I have ever been to. He was magical.

@JulieAiken Год назад

He, in fact, was one of the most prominent sounds of 1972. Unique, but intimately woven into the music scene, one of the best sellers of the decade, and at the time a huge star of not only music but also television and film. Glad you've found him!

The smiles it put on your face put smiles on my face. Always great to watch someone enjoy good old songs

I saw John in concert at the London Palladium. I lined up for seven hours to get a ticket and went on my own. It was a wonderful experience, one that I have never forgot. I sent him a fan letter address to the Palladium. The first and only fan letter I have ever sent. A few weeks later I received a signed photograph with a postmark Aspen Colorado. I couldn’t believe that my letter had been taken back home with him and that he had replied. I have never forgotten him and still listen to him sing. I’m now a great fan of Home Free, and I love the covers they have done of John’s songs. I can’t wait till they can come back to England. Please react to their music.

Wildly popular artist, wrote songs that others covered, began writing in the 60s. He isn't country, he is a folk artist, he and Gordon Lightfoot were popular in the same years. Take Me Home Country Roads was a huge hit and crossed to the country charts.

@melodyo9291 2 года назад

I absolutely love your appreciation of eclectic music. Annie's Song is gorgeous. He's not country, he's folk rock.

@teresanewman4656 2 года назад

John Denver- simply the best. John was not a country artist in fact he was shunned by most country artists. Why they tried to tear the mountains down was in reference to the 72 Olympics. They wanted to rearrange the mountains for their purposes. It never happened. Thank you ,John.

This is quite possibly the best song to listen to while sitting by a warm 🔥…..enjoying a 🍷, an early-November night sky and glorious songs like this. They say this song is about what he wanted the world to look like as he died. After its release, he flew his little plane into the side of the Rocky Mountains on a spectacularly beautiful day. We’d all like to believe that he saw exactly that when he touched the ☀️.

@barbarabisson2551 2 года назад

I think John was referring to the Rocky Mountain strip mining communities = tearing down mountains bringing scars upon the land. John definitely has a unique melodic voice. "Calypso" is really nice, and' Annie's song' shows the depth of his love for his wife.

@darkomtobia 2 года назад

"Back Home Again" is a song that has a lot going for it and won't disappoint.

@MatthewC137 2 года назад

He had a superb voice. One of his best that doesn't seem to get mentioned much is "For You" (search: John Denver For You from the Wildlife Concert).

@rogerkelly7988 2 года назад

I got to see him live in 1980 and was just him and his acoustic guitars of which he four one of them being a 12 string it was one of the best concerts that I've ever seen and I've been to a lot of them starting in the late 60s

@theccpisaparasite8813 2 года назад

He's a very typical easy listening performer of the 1970's. It's just a very evocative song. And his voice, crystalline

John Denver on vinal got me through 12 years. I'm a Grandma now and still love his music.

@dianesaienni5466 Год назад

This was from a time and place where things were very simple...I feel that's the reason why this song was popular then and now. great lyrics speaking on the simple yet deeper things in life.
