  • It was about time we covered this John Denver classic! Our dad actually grew up in West Virginia and some of our fondest childhood memories take place in those hills. Not to mention, John Denver is a family favorite. We hope you enjoy "Take Me Home, Country Roads" as much as we do!

    ►LYRICS - Take Me Home, Country Roads
    Almost heaven, West Virginia
    Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
    Life is old there, older than the trees
    Younger than the mountains, blowin' like a breeze
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    All my memories gather around her
    Miner's lady, stranger to blue waters
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
    Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    Drivin' down that road, I get a feelin'
    That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    Oh West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, down the country roads

      Why? He discarded all the tree hugging stuff and went Hollyweird. Plastic Surgery and Lasik on his eyes. Screw making an album or writing songs. He had tons of money and now he was going to spend it. Unfortunately, one of those things was an E-Z Flyer a one man airplane and not an ultralight as was reported. These things are sold as kits and must be assembled.John Denver bought his already assembled. He was flying along the coast of his new home, California, when something went wrong and he plummeted to his death on the coast.

    • @ffggddss
      @ffggddss 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have a different "Why?"
      John Denver didn't write this song; Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert did. (Bill and Taffy were "Fat City," Denver's backup band; later, with another couple, they were Starland Vocal Band, of "Afternoon Delight" fame.) John is given some of the credit; he helped, but it basically wasn't his.
      He sure did a beautiful job recording it, of course.
      Bill, or Bill and Taffy, have writing credits on several of John's hits. And there are some which John himself wrote.

    As an older gent still existing in an ever changing world, it's refreshing to see a mainly younger generation group that can interpret a song written well before they were born, re-arrange it in a bluegrass style, but perhaps even adding more feeling and emotion than the original. The harmony and feel, different than the original, but still the same. I feel sure that John would be smiling! You are a shining light so needed in our times. Thank you!

    I'm impressed and pleased at several levels so I don't know where to start. I'm a bit puzzled. I grew up in Hollywood and the music industry in LA. I'm an engineer and a musician, and have some idea of what it takes to produce a recording of this quality. Yet, I don't see all that stuff here in the video. And, it's obviously not a lip-sync. Yet, it sounds amazing -- stunningly good -- jaw dropping. All the instruments are present. The vocals are perfect. The performance is flawless and the engineering perfect.
    These days, I'm retired and living in West Virginia. Imagine that. And, I've been a fan of this song since the 1970s.
    So, just wow! This performance is superb. Until now, the best performance of this song I'd ever heard was when John Denver did this as a duet with Mama Cass Elliot, who is the ultimate expert at harmonizing with another singer. Now, there are two performances that are in first place.
    You guys are amazing. There's so much garbage being sold as "music" these days, you give me hope and make me very happy.
    Please continue.

I've worked in television audio up here in Toronto for over 40 years and have worked for all the major US and Canadian networks; thousands of live audio projects and this piece definitely stands out. I'm thinking a very expensive console, perhaps a NEVE with extremely high precision mic preamps, recorded in a professionally treated room by someone with producer type hearing. Member of AES, SMPTE, SBE, ASA. A lot of care and good planning went into this, not to mention the super talent of these young people.
