Summary: great stuff
Comment: John Denver, much like Peter, Paul and Mary and Gordon Lightfoot, really captures the "at home" friendly atmosphere and extremely pleasant vocal melodies. Honestly, this stuff reminds me of pine trees, maple trees, mountains, rivers, and lakes. I guess that's the point!
Anyway, John Denver had a lot more hits than what's listed here, but I can't complain about the quality of the songwriting. Whether you like his style of songwriting or not is totally up to your mind to decide. Me, I think it's pretty good, but nothing to really WOW me or anything.
I have this album on vinyl, and I actually think side 2 contains stronger material. While not totally in love with this kind of music, I love quite a few songs. "Rocky Mountain High", "Take Me Home, Country Roads", and "The Eagle and the Hawk" come to mind immediately as favorites. Good stuff.
I still remember that horrible morning I woke up for high school and on the news heard the sad news of John Denver's death. Still a bit shocking to this day, because the guy had such a great appreciation for life and a passion for music and caring about quality. I will remember his music, and hopefully most people will too.
Maybe it's a coincidence, but the first snowfall of the season is happening as I type this review, and snow is one thing that always reminded me of John Denver's music. Tonight I chose to listen to this album without knowing anything about snow sticking to the ground.

Summary: so inspiring!!!
Comment: having died in a plane crash in, was it 11 years ago now, his music is still as popular as it was back in the day!!! those who like listening to his folksy country - rock style will love this collection. listen to the selections above. i find this and other classics from yesteryear easy to listen to, especially when i'm working. some other folks' works distract me, john denver's music passes by and, before long, i have to re-start the cd player. i think that this is well worth the price new, but keep an eagle eye out for deals used.

Summary: All the Favorites.
Comment: This CD has all of John Denver's best songs. I enjoy every song and listen to the CD about once a week. Not much to say beyond that. If you like John Denver, you'll love this CD. If you don't like John Denver don't get the CD. Simple as that.
