Dont think this cover requires a studio version or anything. This video in all its essence along with her singing and the background noise together makes for one of the best covers ive ever heard. Coming back here every 6 months to listen to this from the past 8 years. God bless all
I know nothing about West Virginia, but this remides me of the place I belong. Now I'm 17 and I've been away from my family and homecountry for 10 months for study abroad. I just cried as I watched this. I miss my West Virginia.
Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' 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 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water 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 the 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 Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Take me home, down country roads Take me home, down country roads
This one is really special Jamie. I hope you know this version of this song brings back great memories for me. Crazy to think 11 years has passed! I hope life is treating you well ❤️
I love how the background is so quiet in the beginning, then at the end it's all the birds singing along. It's all the imperfections of this recording that make it perfect.
10 years on, this is still one of my favorite covers! Jamie, I hope in the ensuing 10 years you've had great success, and that you will still casually drop in and make good videos… Another John Denver fan from Colorado!
A horse ,a guitar, in a valley, golden long grass , sitting under a tree, smoky coffee, sun is setting and playing this alone, watching sunset from that valley. What else i need...
I cried because of how beautiful this song is........ and because more young people need to know what beautiful music like this is. Greetings from a country boy on a ranch in the Western United States.

My wife’s mother died recently and I always think of her when I hear this song. I was listening to it one day and my father in law heard it and started to shed a tear. It turns out he plays this song and thinks about her too. We also live in New Zealand. Though I’m originally from Malaysia. This song has touched so many people from all over the world.
Amazing Cover! Today's my grandfathers birthday, this was his favorit song also played on his funeral. Got tears in my eyes if i listen to the song and your voice. Miss u so much, rip ♡
I never met my Grandpa. He passed before I was born. This was his favorite song and I sing it with my dad all the time. He lost his dad way too soon so it’s nice to share this memory with him
This is by FAR the best version of this song I have ever heard, excellent voice, perfect tempo, just, perfect, sans wind and maybe some of the outdoor acoustics. If this was done in a studio where the acoustics and wind could be managed, it would be literally flawless without needing any editing beyond that.
Went to school with your little sister. Always amazed at your voice. Still listen to this all the time 9 years later. Absolutely love my guitar and your such an inspiration gf so thankyouuuuuuuuu
Absolutely beautiful. I live in Arizona in the U.S. and this song has been a constant emotional bridge to my connection to nature. It is truly awe-inspiring. Your ingenuity with the capo is the kind of simple whole-heartedness that we in the country appreciate. A perfect capture of this song, thank you...
Listened to this cover for the first time a couple of years ago, while I was living in Peru, my home nation. Now, far away in Canada, had the chance to listen to it again, what a nice cover for such a meaningful song. Thanks!
OMG perfectly done my dear. I've been a John Denver fan since 1973 ( yes I'm that old ) and if he was still here today he would say " You nailed it, Right on!!! "
There's something about this world that sweetens precious memories, which we sort of do to honor, sort of don't to don't. We wish what special stays and climbs and rules more regularly, just because they are special.
Just like I said every Brazil wants people to know that they're from Brazil. NOBODY FKING CARES OK?!!!!! you're country isn't a thing you should be proud of. Because it's not great. Get it?
Yesterday TH-cam had a video of someone pulling out an ingrown hair from what looked like their pubes. Today TH-cam wants me to watch this. Why can't TH-cam get it right more often?
Wow, your voice is so goddamn clear and soft! It´s a pleasure to listen to you :3 I guess you could actually sing everything :D John Denver would be proud!
This song makes me get back to that time when I lived in Iowa for a few time. Sometimes I feel I belong there, but I'm not. What an awesome days I lived! I found there I love Country music.
I've been playing this song, as well as other John Denver songs, as a professional for around since the early 1970s. I too grew up on John Denver. I want to tell you that your version actually stunned me. Your voice, your inflections, and the feeling you have for the song,. shine through. Carry on, young lady. You have the ability to create something wonderful to share with the world.
Yes. TH-cam recomendations. Yes.
Amen.

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' 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 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
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 the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home

Still come back here to listen to this a few times a year. My favorite version of this song. It's a shame it's not on spotify
Same. I’m gonna play her cover at my wedding.
Listen to Geoff’s cover for this
Agreed. It’s probably one of the purest versions of the song.
Me too! The pencils, the shoe lace, her cute accent - love it all
It's 2020 and who's still listening to that walking miracle ? ✌❤
Shes a diamond
Heck yeah
Yeah.
Yo y soy mexicano UwU
Me....so wonderfull
This brought tears to my eyes. This is exactly how the song is meant to be, raw, acoustic and intimate with such a beautiful and inspiring voice.
I agree its amazing
yeah john denver used too much electronic when performing and his back singers and orchestra he had was annoying as well...
Country girl sings country road . Aewesome .
nico bellic she’s prolly from New Zealand
Keith Urban is also from New Zealand, lot of country folks down there.
@@unadded Indeed she is!
New Zealand.
yeah i can hear the accent not country, but she doing sing good
This is the best cover of this song i have ever heard
This one is really special Jamie. I hope you know this version of this song brings back great memories for me. Crazy to think 11 years has passed! I hope life is treating you well ❤️
As a West Virginian, you have no idea the justice you did for this song. Thank you!
Yes! She sounds like she’s from Appalachia! What a beautiful voice.
Agreed as a fellow West Virginian
Good job I'm from Beckley haven't been there in years but I know where my roots are
As a Regular Virginian and I like this song, does that count?
I’m not a West Virginian only traveled thru a time or two. But I grew up listening to John Denver, was quite breathtaking the moment she began singing
I love how the background is so quiet in the beginning, then at the end it's all the birds singing along. It's all the imperfections of this recording that make it perfect.
I'm not even from the US and this is just emotional
Same dude
indeed! oh and you're from los santos whatchu talking about.
But ryder you are from los santos
10 years on, this is still one of my favorite covers! Jamie, I hope in the ensuing 10 years you've had great success, and that you will still casually drop in and make good videos… Another John Denver fan from Colorado!
Beautiful❤️
You're exactly the kind of person I wanna have next to me with your guitar when sitting together at a campfire
That would be lejindary
❤️
The way she holds on "me" in the chorus is nice. I've never heard anyone else do it that way.
good point. I can't do it lol
You honoured the great John Denver with your angelic voice. Thank you for this masterpiece.
I had tears in my eyes while you were singing.

I think this is almost my favorite cover of this song. the wind is the only issues, you are incredible.
The wind kind of sucked at the beginning but ending the song with the birds chirping gave it a very nice touch. Great cover indeed.
Say rather that you like her and not the song. Its version is banal
agree
Country roads are windy you know.. :)
The wind gives the song a bit of a rustic touch. I wouldn't change it for a thing.
that is the anthem of our fire brigade in Germany (small town in Rhineland-Palatinate).😊 thanks for the song super great sung. great your voice
Beautiful.

Yes, but the outdoor view was spectacular. It was the icing on the cake. A little real-life breeze is fine.
It was a great cover but nothing can surpass the original for me!
