"Country Roads" by John Denver cover by Reina del Cid
Subscribe: bit.ly/subRdC
We found ourselves on a truly idyllic east coast farm on tour, so figured we’d play one of the most beautiful songs ever written about the eastern US countryside - John Denver’s iconic “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
We are currently here quarantining after a couple of the members of our crew (not pictured here) caught COVID on the road. We did have to postpone our Philly, NYC, and Boston shows, but we are still planning on being able to do Montreal (Aug 2) and Toronto (Aug 3), and continue on the rest of the tour from there, provided none of the rest of us go down with the bug in the meantime.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more immediate updates, and hope to see some people out there at our shows!

Does anyone else get that warm tingly feeling listening to this?
A base, a guitar and a drum. Thats all. And a voice that sooths your soul. Nothing more needed.!
A Martin guitar
@@briankowald6465
Try "Stumbeling In" for real nice guitar action.!😘
I want to be in a hammock on that porch,with a cold beer listening to this heavenly voice.
This song has an interesting genesis. The tune was composed by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert while driving along Clopper Road in Maryland outside of Washington. DC. Back then it was a fairly rural road, but development has caught up to much of it today. The duo could not make words rhyme with Maryland, so they then tried Massachusetts where they were from, which also failed. They played it for their friend John Denver (before he was famous) who thought the song would be a hit, so he and Danoff and Nivert re-worked the words, finally settling on West Virginia in lieu of Maryland or Massachusetts. None of them had been to West Virginia nor knew much about it. Most of the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge mountains, for instance, are in Virginia. I drive on and by Clopper Road occasionally and think about its inspiring this famous song.
We sing it 'West-ern Virginia' ❤❤
Thank you 🙏🙂
Nice!
oh' you know alot.
Thank you. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Beautiful rendition. I sang along and cried. It brings us together. One Nation under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The language of Love . MUSIC. I'm in Italy. Lets roll America.
Happy Sunday morning coffee cheers! When I was a kid (57 years old now) I didn't consider myself cool because I liked Denver. But now I will dig out my old albums and spend the rest of the day on repeat. Great cover!
Denver, in my humble opinion, was one of the greates songwriters of our gen (going back a ways here). I love especially albums of his done live with an audience. He was so humble, so genuine. songs that ordinary people can relate to was what he did. and it's still important.
@@tomlederle1960 He was indeed genuine. You are right. What you saw, that was John. I met him...in fact sat with him at a table for an entire evening in Aspen Colorado. My friends there were selling their little soup & sandwich shop & Johns ex band mate John Summers was buying the shop for his wife. We went to a place called Jake's Alley - a pub in the basement beneath a restaurant there...John S was playing with his new band & we went to listen. Who shows up but John D & our host invited him to sit with us.
A life altering evening for me.
I think it's cool and I'm only a young juvenile 72 year old.
Decade older and at CU Boulder in early 70s he was the opposite of cool - largely because Rocky Mountain High infested "Our" mountains with wannabe hippie tourists from wherever. Even then I loved this song on the QT and I remember seeing Mary Travers at Tulagis where she let on one of my all time favorite songs Leaving On A Jet Plane had been written by him. He was a true icon to use an overused word that definitely applies to him.
Hi guys!
I am very grateful for this version of 'Country Roads'.
My grandmother (93)just passed away last week after getting diagnosed with cancer just one month ago. One week before the diagnosis she was still doing the groceries ON HER BIKE!
So losing her so suddenly was extremely difficult.
'Country Roads' was her number one song. I am a leadsinger and guitarist of a coverband myself and every time we sang that song, I always dedicated it to her like: 'my dearest grandmother, this one's for you. ❤️' And she always sang along, even though she didn't know any English! 😅.
Anyway, as we were planning her funeral, we wanted to play 'Country Roads' but we preferred an acoustic version of it because she just liked that so much.
And then this version appeared. At the very moment I opened TH-cam to search for a cover, I saw this very video. I am a long time subscriber and absolutely love what you do. I also bought tickets to see you in Amsterdam at the 26th of September.
I don't even know if you will read this, but if you do I would like to tell you this:
THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart. We played this video with pictures of my grandmother in the background and my whole family were very impressed by this version. It was perfect.
I hope you will play this in Amsterdam. It would mean the world to me. Because my grandmother was the world to me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️
Robin van Walsem from The Netherlands. 🇳🇱
Sorry for you loss.
❤❤❤
Thanks, Reina and friends, for evoking one of the premier mental snapshots of my life: driving through West Virginia, in the summer of 1971, with a couple of my best friends while John Denver was singing "Country Roads" and we were all harmonizing. . . long before you were born.
One of the greatest campfire singalong tunes ever written. John Denver was such a great artist and would be very happy with this cover.
Reina's voice is sounding better than ever!
Really? It really is quite ordinary with no power behind it.
@@lorenarios9461 Sometimes I'm in the mood for fancy baked Alaska and other times a simple slice of apple pie hits the spot.
I totally agree. so sweet.
Hasn’t it been pleasant hearing the evolution of her unique voice. What a privilege for us
Love it Reyna
This is perfection. The gentle sound of the 3 musicians - Reina, Nate, and Andrew - is ideal for Country Roads. The timing of the sunset, and Capt. Kevin’s video put me on the farm-house porch with you.
LOL!!!!
Sure !!
Cheers from France
J'adore très belle reprise je vous dis un grand bravo ça me rappelle ma jeunesse
Love the the porch ambience and subtle background road noise. Cue a car driving by right before "blowing like a breeze" 🙂
With everything from aliens to COVID changing your plans and some folks losing their minds glad to hear some soul soothing from you.
I'm sitting on a black painted metal bench in Inverleith park, Edinburgh Scotland...What am I doing sitting ect?
I'm star gazing.
To my front, and well above the horizon, is our beautiful gas planet...JUPITER.
To my right, and well above the horizon, is the most fashionably dressed planet...SATURN.
To my left, and well above the horizon too, is our most visited. One could even say, a good friend...MARS.
And two and a half feet, in my hand is...No. Not a planet, but a STAR...Reina Del Cid.
You warmed up the cold night air! Thank you.
A true display of America's beauty & it's beautiful people. ❤
This song never fails to make me cry, I don't know why. Brilliant, faithful rendition. I would say John Denver himself would have a smile on his face listening to that. Thank you.
yes
John Denver would be proud ❤️
this young lady is amazing.
The first two words of the song say it all - "Almost Heaven" .... Thank you so much Reina & friends -very, very beautiful. 😊❤
My family was really into that song. My mom's parents had lived in West Virginia for 3 years after they retired. My mom & I were set to do an instrumental (clarinet and tenor sax) of it in late spring of '71. But the bowling banquet had to be shortened because of an incoming hurricane in New Jersey. This was definitely the best cover I've ever heard.
Beautiful voice and setting! Great song as well!
I met Jessie, the owner of this home last night. Jessie was so excited to tell me about you guys
and this recording!
I lived next door to this home the first 21 years of my life.
I have many fond memories in this neighborhood. This small town was called Springville. The pond across the street was spring fed. I shared this with my family. My Amish brother in law said he has been following you guys for the last couple of years. He said, you could sing on his porch anytime!! 😊
@@michaelhart1614 Lancaster County Pa
Love this song. Toni's guitar is missed. I love you girls!!! Thank you!!
This is Korea. It's so nice to hear the song quietly. Thank you.
My dad used to play this song for me on his piano when I was a young kid in the 1970s. I also had the privilege of seeing John Denver in concert a few months before he passed away. And I LOVE this version. You did a great job!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and such a wonderful performance.
Deadlift workout music right here 💖 *a u t h e n t I c v i e w s *💖 dun took Elle & Toni oFf 2 da big leagues and for dat I will always be super grate
The singing, music, and surrounding - perfect. Just perfect!
"One of my all time favorite songs performed beautifully."
You have no idea how much I love this. This was one of my mom's favorites and we used to sing it together all the time. Mom passed away three years ago, and this was played at her funeral. The memories have come rushing back and I thank you for covering this song with such grace and beauty. Mom would more than approve. 🙂
Country roads took her home. Im playing it at my funeral too. Changing the lyrics to country roads take him home. Sorry about your mom. Glad you liked the song.
Great story I’m also 1967
Very pretty! Even John Denver himself would have liked it!
Pretty sure!!!
Everything this girl does is pretty 😍
@@scottgestl2008 I most definitely agree to that. I have been watching her for a long time now. I just don’t comment often, but I think I will change that from now on, because I love their music. Reina and Toni are just great together, and I never get tired of listening to them. I always loved the little things that they do and say at the end of videos. Humorous and personal touches that help keep them real. Makes it kinda like your sitting there with them like good friends do.
@@scottgestl2008 Yes definitely. I like Toni as well, I think the two complement each other. One with the voice and charisma and the other one with the guitar and her sensuality!!!
Can’t help but she’d a tear or two whenever I hear this song. Excellent rendition of a modern classic, y’all.
I don't get tire of listening to her voice...👍
The perfection of sobriety. Sound, leading voice, harmonies: best cover ever.
This video is so perfect! The setting. The delicate vocals. The simple bass and that brush snare!
Well said I agree.
This illustrates the importance of a good drum beat.
Very simple and uncomplicated.
A snare and two brushes and it really shines on this song.
Great job!
Looped back to this...
You have the perfect voice and style to cover John's music.
I am weeping tears of joy. Thank you.
I must be getting old. This one left a bit of a tear in my eye. Thank you.
Join the club, Wally. It did the same thing to me. We must be old and sloppy sentimental.
I third that..
Yeah I bawled my eyes out.
@@kevinspence5093 Smartass.
No, it shows you are human and yearn for a more peaceful world. This song brings out such emotion and is so nostalgic. I went to a John Denver concert in the 70's and it was so wonderful to see people enjoying themselves. Good times!!!
Beautiful light, beautiful singing, beautiful song.
I'm so glad you are enjoying The East. Alot of times people from The West have a warped sense of what East is all about. Some of the best, fertile, beautiful country...plus top notch "culture" not too far away.
I sing this song every time I sit in the car when I am returning home from a business trip after a couple of months. Because, no matter where are you, you always miss your country roads. I love this performance, so gentle and clean. Greetings from Czechia.
Bonsoir…j’adore cette chanson…merci pour votre vidéo…😃….que Dieu vous bénisse 🙏🙏🙏
Très belle chanson, elle nous fait du bien:c’est tout simplement magique
One of my all time favorite songs performed beautifully.
I live in the swamp of NYC. Your beutiful rendition takes me away to the place where I belong.
It's the best cover song. It's so warm and sweet.
Thanks so much for this, Reina 💖 My mom died two weeks ago, on July 16. She was a John Denver fan and my two younger brothers and I grew up with his music. The night my mom went into labor with me on March 10, 1975, John had a TV special airing with special guests Jacques Cousteau and Danny Kaye. Mom didn’t want to miss it so she had my dad set up a tape recorder next to their TV before they left for the hospital. Years later, when I was, I think, 19, Mom and I saw John in concert at what was then Deer Creek Amphitheater, an outdoor venue in Noblesville, Ind., near Indianapolis. She loved music, had great taste in it, and continued to catch live shows in her beloved Bloomington, Ind., when she could, even in her later years. She was the most voracious reader I ever knew, and she’d have loved your songwriting and no doubt would have been delighted to see you perform. Best wishes, Reina, and thanks for sparking some fond memories of Mom 🥰
Helping me recover from surgery. Makes me feel so peaceful. I love it. Thank you sooooo much for your talent.
This is the meaning of perfection.
You can be sure that John was peeping down from Heaven with a big, wide smile on his face. You did him proud, Reina! Yours is a gift straight from God Himself. You brought tears of joy to my eyes!
It's the best cover song I've ever heard. It's the best song that makes me miss my hometown. How can you sing so calmly and well. I am really happy to hear your song. Thank you very, very much. I wish you all the best.
Very well done and the perfect country setting with the bank barn and cows.
No one is missed... The rendition was beautiful and both Toni and Reina play a vital role in their music. Stunning!!!
Timeless music from a man who died too young.
One of my favorite songs and now one of my favorite renditions, right behind John Denver. Your voice is so soulful. Thank you.
Es un placer escucharte cada domingo por la mañana. Saludos desde Guanajuato, México
What a peaceful place to live....
If perfection exists for the ear, this gets very close. A superb, flawless couple of minutes of nostalgia and warmth for the soul. For me, a highlight is the bass, my word, he couldn’t have performed this any better.
A beautiful Version of this classic. Andrews style of playing Bass Guitar on this one reminds me a lot of my Note Choices: Root and 5th work like a charm on the Baseline.
Great rendition, including the harmony singing.
Ahhhh John Denver….an American treasure! You can’t help but be happy when you hear this song….or any of his for that matter!! Great video!!
Bill and Taffy Danoff hitmakers .. wonderful
Gentle, wistful even, but most of all beautifully sung. Thank you
Lotta people cover this song. You made me feel it. That's what I love about your music.
The front porch they are sitting on looks almost identical to my grandparents old home and unfortunately was torn down a few years back and I miss it and them very much. They have been gone over 30 years but I can close my eyes and I'm right back on that front porch watching my grandfather making homemade ice cream. I know I will be seeing them very soon so that helps.
Y'all bring me tears of joy
Love Reina's voice. She's got that comfortable voice that could handle any genre of music. Still love to hear you guys do some Linda Ronstadt (Your No Good) or Wings (Band On The Run).
My local football team come out to this song at every home game. Great rendition.
The world`s most beloved song!!
What is a soulful voice? It's one that takes us home..... Yep you got that girl.......❤️❤️❤️
This song has been in my head all day - I get in from work and lo and behold, here's your version waiting for me. A damn fine version it is too; my dad loves John Denver, so I'll try and get him to listen later. Best wishes for speedy recoveries and a successful rest of the tour!
Such a beautiful cover of one of my all-time favorite John Denver songs… And such a lovely setting, so peaceful, with the sun going down… Another winner, Reina!! 👩🏻🎼🎤🎸🎤🥁🎸
What a gift music is. It makes you feel you're in the right place wherever U are but it's best when U are with your friends and family
A voice ,smooth like green velvet.................
Sou brasileiro paranaense admirador do seu trabalho... é isso ai piazada daí estamos aí
Thanks for serving up another slice of special Sunday, It's always a delight to hear you sing and play and I truly look forward to your video every week,here in the UK.
you guys are really something special. i could watch and listen to you guys all day.
Thanks for sharing this & i appreciated the soft production of it as well. joy
Oh my gosh, my favorite JD song (and that's a VERY tall order to say!)...boy did you guys do him proud today!!! A magical compilation Reina 🥰
A classic, good choice. Beautiful cover !
I hope the missing members will get better soon.
Beautiful. Front porch singing is the best.
Absolutely loved that, brings back very fond memories. Much peace and love from Dublin City...
💚☘️🎶💃🎵🕺🎶☘️💚🇮🇪
I get it. You were only a few miles from Denver, PA. So you did a John Denver song. Great performance! Close to paradise.
FYI, there is a great annual folk festival in the spring at Spring Gulch campground, right near where this was filmed.
Wishing everybody a speedy recovery and timely resumption of the tour.
Lovely job, recorded in beautiful Lancaster County, PA. Well done!
Wow! Beautiful Lady, every day Shine! Thanks for the music!
One of the best things you’ve ever done Reina👍🇬🇧👍
Simply good and honest music so beautifully done!!! Thank you Reina.💕💕💕
Hi Reina, Good Luck to all crew members!🍀Stay healthy! Thanks for this beautiful cover. Every day that goes by, your voice is more and more beautiful, confident and capable of nuances of expressiveness. 🎨🎶
Take care and stay safe. LOVE the Sunday music. Thank you, again!!!
Пока что это лучший кавер...👍👍👍
Reina's voice reminds me of the days I really want to go back to!!!
You're just awsome!!!!
That was SOOO beautiful, I was reminded of when you and Toni sang I shall be Released.
Singing Country Roads, gave me chills.
Saludos desde España, que recuerdos, ole y ole
A welcome tune, soft as velvet for a Sunday morning. Thank you.
I like the brushes 🥁
Pure music and the scene is pure gold. Loved every second of it.
Finally moved out of the city recently and it has been amazing. I grew up out in the country and getting back to a similar environment has been a great form of comfort and stress relief; that I didn't realize I needed until that first morning waking up to the sounds of nature.
Beautiful rendition of this song, gets all the emotions going. 💜~Kim
Buenas tardes REINA DEL CID muy buena interpretación como siempre o mucho más exelente!y vamos por más siempre adelante REINA✌👏👏👏
A beautiful rendition! This song will be playing for reflection music at my nan’s funeral today so this is incredible timing to release this now. Thank you Reina and the band, your voice is sounding incredible in this one, and the accompaniment is so lovely.
the vibes in this video are absolutely immaculate
The background makes this song fit right in.
