Free Music Review: Travel BACK HOME AGAIN With John Denver
Hit: 5 Stars
To hear it from the "hip" music critics of the press over the decades, you'd think John Denver was a pansy, that he never wrote anything of the kind of significance that would have merited a place in "their" world. He was a product of the same Greenwich Village folk music scene of the 1960s that gave us Dylan, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul, and Mary (who would turn Denver's "Leaving On A Jet Plane" into a #1 hit in December 1969); but instead of writing songs about protest, revolution, and the like, he wrote songs about life, love, family, and nature. So at a time when young people were railing against anything "establishment", Denver chose to talk about the land.
So much for those "hip" critics, of course, because the man clearly touched the lives of millions who were looking for a way back to the basics, a common theme of country, folk, and rock artists in the 1970s. And all of those elements found their way into BACK HOME AGAIN, the biggest-selling studio album of Denver's career. Denver can be accused of being somewhat corny and cliched, of course ("Grandma's Feather Bed"), and a good deal of BACK HOME AGAIN is folk/country in nature, even occasionally bluegrass ("Thank God I'm A Country Boy", in its original studio version), having little appeal to the Nashville crowd of the time, and not quite rock-orientated enough even for fans of the Eagles or Linda Ronstadt.
But BACK HOME AGAIN makes it clear that Denver's worldwide success was no accident. "Annie's Song", about his then-wife, was a massive #1 hit in the summer of 1974 (Denver's biggest hit single); the title track, which has reportedly recently been covered by Trisha Yearwood, was a big #5 hit in October 1974; and "Sweet Surrender", thanks to its use in the Disney film THE BEARS AND I, hit the Top 15 at the start of 1975.
The critics may keep saying that the man, whom we tragically lost way too soon in 1997, will never be hip, but fans of his, and lovers of the folk/country style that he personified clearly know otherwise. John Denver is a national treasure; and BACK HOME AGAIN is crystal-clear proof of that.
