My parents played JD on cassette in the car sometimes when we were driving and he was one of the few singers they liked that I also liked a lot. Then I remember seeing him on The Muppet Show when I was not quite a teenager and to this day it was my favorite episode ever. His music just speaks to people. Heck, even my own kid loves him - THAT's the impact he has.

You were talking about him as if he were still with us. Sadly he crashed his experimental plane and passed in 1997. But I suppose he IS still with us, his music is and I listen to it all the time, not a week goes by that I don't listen to one or two or more of his songs. He was a gem of a musician/singer. RIP, John Denver.

@leekestner1554 Год назад

I remember tearing up when I heard he had died. His voice was such a comfort. I always thought that Steve Irwin reminded me of him. He could have been a brother and he had the same generous nature. It was a shock when Steve died early too.

@martyb2187 Год назад

Yes I was also thinking the same thing, with Beth talking about John in the present tense. He was so incredibly gifted, and had such a wonderful rich voice. I grew up with his music and even sat on my mother’s lap (mostly slept in her arms) at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in 1977 when John Denver came to Melbourne. I obviously don’t remember anything from that show but explains why I still feel so connected to his music.

Only 2 songs can choke me up every time I hear them and this is no. 1. Born and raised in WV now living in midwest. I've stop being surprised at the number of different venues where I've heard this song. One of the most unexpected was at an upscale Japanese steakhouse. A young Japanese girl sat down at a grand piano in the lounge where we were waiting for our table and began to play. My mom was the first to notice. "She's playing country roads". Left that young musician a nice tip. 🥰🥰🥰

@Slick-ng5kf Год назад

WVian here too…cab driver in Bahamas asked where we were from and told him … he immediately broke into the song. Heard it in different countries, in random bars across the US. Nothing like 62K singing it in unison after a WVU football win. He was a great musician for sure.

@rosshageman951 Год назад

On a cruise to Iceland and the British Isles, we heard this song in many venues. From a street performer to karaoke to whenever we wore a WVU or Marshall shirt. Country Roads might not be the most popular song, but it is one of the most widely known.

John Denver, one of the greatest of the GOATs of all-time. His "Rocky Mountain High" was my first favorite song. Had his greatest hits album on both vinyl and tape of which both were eventually worn out. Love how your face just lit up as soon as the video started.

Everyone has a home and everyone know what it is like to come home after a long absence - the genius of John was capturing that feeling in a song.

Clopper road actually ends in a hard left onto White Ground Road in Boyds, MD about 5 houses from where I lived in the late 70's, and my father and step-mother just passed a couple of years ago and are now buried across the street. I drove that road many time over the years and saw it go thru many changes, but it's still a quiet little road that ends in a quiet little town. I always loved this song (as well as everything else John Denver did).

@stephanledford9792 Год назад

There is a RU-vid video out there where the NFL is playing a game in (I think) Germany, and they are playing this song over the PA system. When they get to the chorus, the entire stadium sings along, in fairly good English, showing that this song has connected with a lot of people who might not be able to find West Virginia on the map.

@jeffmorse645 9 месяцев назад

I think what resonates with this song for many people is that longing for home and family regardless where you're from. Not so much about West Virginia, but home (wherever that is). Whenever I hear it I think of my childhood home in a farm town in Central California. Gets me a bit teary eyed every time.

@losha4324 Год назад

I usually listen to his songs from his early days...which I love!...but when I finally listened to this later Wildlife concert, I was amazed at how much his voice had matured...his voice was a bit deeper, and even warmer, but wow did he show off his vibrato! It was beautiful! Thank you for explaining the details of how he softened some of his phrasing by how he articulated his vowels...that was awesome to learn! Blessings upon you all! ❤❤❤

@loadedorygun Год назад

You’re the expert on vocals not me, but I struggle to think of a voice that is as pure and strong as his without being heavily trained as a vocalist. He’s a songwriter and a guitarist, the singing was just a gift I feel like. His pitch stability and control really impress me. There are some really awesome vocalists in popular music who aren’t necessarily pure singers; he’s one of those who’s just a top notch singer.

@dathorndike4908 5 месяцев назад

Great review, Beth. John Denver was one of my favourite singers and he is sadly missed.

@kermitcook8498 Год назад

Thanks, Beth. The first John Denver song I can remember was "leaving on a jet plane," sung by Peter, Paul, and Mary. Annie's song, for his wife and Calypso for Jacques Cousteau, are in my top three. Hearing 60,000 fans sing country roads is amazing. I was saddened when John died in his experimental plane. I guess he'd given us all he was supposed to. It doesn't make his departure any less painful.

@garanceadrosehn9691 Год назад

This was my father's favorite song, although he had no idea about who made it famous. And the first album I ever bought was _"John Denver's Greatest Hits"._ My father saw the cover and expected some hard rock artist, and I said "No, really, I think you'll like this!". So he stayed around long enough to listen, even though he was clearly pre-annoyed at it. And then I started the album where this is the first song I played. I smiled at him, as he realized it was actually his favorite song. He never admited it, but there were times when I wasn't around and he'd pull out this album and play it. It's probably the only album I ever bought that he's play when he was the only person at home.

@lonolson1328 Год назад

It’s definitely one of those songs that makes you want to sing along with no matter where you are from. I travel through West Virginia every spring and fall and the scenery is always beautiful.

Great song that's loved by so many from so many places around the world. An exampled is when I was on vacation in Ireland last year in a traditional pub and the band started playing this, everyone perked up and sang along. Note that this performance is 24 years after it was first release. It would be interesting to compare a live performance from 1971 to this. I can hear quite a difference in his voice, and in this one he sounds more smooth, rich, and controlled; and his early 70's voice was much brighter, raw, and wilder.

John Denver's music was what inspired me to learn to play a 12-string guitar. I was in my late-teens, early 20's during the height of his popularity in the early 70's. His songs were essentially anthems to the wild outdoors, and my friends and I would enthusiastically sing JD medley's as we hiked in and around the Oregon Cascade Range. Attended his concert in Portland with the Starland Vocal Band and was bowled over by how personable and talented he was. His music would probably not be all that popular now - not commercial enough and not enough Autotune. But the songs he wrote back then really maintain their relevance even today.

Greatest country song ever

Beth, this song invokes that feeling you talk about, of wanting to go home. As a young teenager, my dad was stationed in Scotland. I tear up for missing our, very happy time there, in the little village of Sandbank. I hope you get to go home.

John did partly write this song, and of course sing and play it. He hadn't got a flying license when he went into the sea, due to his 2 DWI's and was still drinking, it was revoked, he shouldn't have been flying at all. With everything he should have done and refused on that flight, suicide was discussed, he'd had a terrible ten years, after being the most successful singer songwriter, actor and presenter in the world. A tragedy that shouldn't have happened. Rest in peace Mr Deutchendorf, you'll always be the best ❤
