Free Music Notes for John Denver's Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Take me home...
Hit: 5 Stars
You can go home again with this CD. As with any greatest hits compilations and many of the "Essential" compilations we are at the mercy of those that make the combination. So I hope some of your favorites are here, mine are.
If you have not heard John Denver that is no real frame of reference. If you have then I am telling you what you already know. There are eleven songs that give a pretty good sample of Denver's songs. If you are going to buy only one album of his, this should be it. This is a collection from his first six albums with the added plus of being a little different as he has expanded is ability.
You can tell the CD lost some resolution from the vinyl. However not enough to distract from your enjoyment.
"Take Me Home, Country Roads" (1971) by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver. Makes you see the beauty of West Virginia from the inside. If you are ever there once you will realize he captured the country roads driving feeling.
"Follow Me" (1969) by John Denver. "Make it part of you to be part of me." It is about the joys of sharing with each other.
"Starwood in Aspen" (1971) by John Denver. Contemplation going home to Starwood on a plane from L.A.
"For Baby (For Bobbie)" (1965) by John Denver. "I'll walk in the rain by your side" If you listen closely you can hear the Pupils of The Whitby School Greenwich Connecticut in the background vocals.
"Rhymes and Reasons" (1969) by John Denver. The coming of the winter a glimpse of Saturn (the bringer of Old Age) a time of reflection and new insights as to flowers and children. A prayer to non believers.
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" (1967) by John Denver. I have several versions of this by various artists; however I consider Denver's version one of the best. Songs hold memories for people this one is a duel for me most of my life is in I.S. so I have done quit a bit of travel and thing of this song. However it was real for me once when I was on my way to Vietnam.
"The Eagle and the Hawk" (1971) Words by John Denver/Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor. Listening to this makes me feel that I am the eagle and I am the hawk. The pace is different from most John Denver songs. It is short makes its statement and the song is over before you are ready for it to finish.
"Sunshine on My Shoulders" (1971) Words by John Denver/Music by John Denver, Dick Kniss, and Mike Taylor. This could be his signature song. You feel the wonders of nature that he wants to share with you.
"Goodbye Again" (1972) by John Denver. The title says it all. More of an "it's over" song.
"Poems, Prayers and Promises" (1971) by John Denver. Reflection on life; Saturn returns. "How long it's been since yesterday..."
"Rocky Mountain High" (1972) Words by John Denver/Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor. "Coming home to a place that he has never been before." They do not expatriate. This song can also be a warning.
You will have to take a while to come back to earth after listening to this album.
