Impressive songs, even for the foreigner!.......2001-12-22

This CD is what I like most, especially the hit song "Take me home, country road". I am a Taiwanese; I have been in the United States for 3 years. The first time I hear the song is from the FM radio in Syracuse, NY. On that time, I am impressed, even feel a little excited and wanna cry! And then, I drove to West Virginia. I found that it's a really nice place.

You may feel that I am crazy, but I am not really one. Think about that:
If a song can drive people to do something, this is the success song.

In the first part:
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -

I found that the river there is really natural like a country lady - cute and pure.

In the third paragraph:
Teardrop in my eye.

Put with the rest lyrics, I really had some tear in my eye.

When listening the repeated lyrics, I cried out...

I know that the United States suffered a lot after 911 attack, but no matter how bitter it is, West Virginia is there, and American is there. I want to say "Thank you, American.". In these 3 years, I got a lot. If I have time, I will visit this place again.

May god bless American, and to all American:
Remember the song:

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong......

EXCELLENT VALUE!!!.......2001-04-14

Personally, I feel that this is a great CD for the price. The recording quality is crisp and clear, and the tracks include a nice compilation of old and newer John Denver pieces. For the price, I feel it's well worth adding to one's music collection.

this isn't the original.......1999-05-23

If you want the original because you remember when it was popular, don't buy this cd.

AWESOME! If you buy only one CD this year, make it this one!.......1999-02-03

This is a phenomenal collection of songs, including a couple of old favorites, all of which were recorded later in John's career. His voice has never sounded better - polished, resonant, and full of the sound that made us love him from the beginning and makes us love him still.

It starts out with the classic "Take Me Home Country Roads," which just keeps getting better with John's older, more mature voice. "Homegrown Tomatoes" is a ridiculous, delightful little tune obviously added to the CD just for the sheer fun of it. "Eagles & Horses" and "Ponies" both have the familiar JD imagery that can transport you to another time and place. The only weak spots on the CD are "High, Wide & Handsome" and "Hold On To Me;" not bad songs, but not quite the calibre that we fans are accustomed to from our boy. He follows those up with fantastic versions of "Whispering Jesse," "Never a Doubt," and a version of "Eagle & The Hawk" that you'll feel right down to your soul. But the absolute highlight of the whole CD is the last two songs. "I Watch You Sleeping" is a beautiful, soulful song that will grab you and won't let go. Lastly, "For You" is quite simply John Denver at his absolute best. He performed this song at his "Wildlife Concert," and if it doesn't give you the chills and leave you mezmarized at the depth and breadth of his talent, you have no heart. One word can accurately describe this song: "WOW!"

Once you've heard this CD, you will simply HAVE to hear it over and over and over. It's John Denver at his very best, and these songs will make you fall in love with his music all over again. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Fine reissue of a classic set.......2006-05-24

Think about the stupidest, most formulaic Hollywood movies you can think of: cheesy action pictures, fluffy, unfunny comedies, big but stiff epics. Now imagine that one of the greatest living composers was working in Hollywood, turning out astonishing, hauntingly beautiful and stirring musical scores for these throwaway movies. That's what you get with this set: music Henry Purcell composed for some two dozen often utterly forgettable plays (trust me--I've read a number of them!) Occasionally, when he teams up with a playwright worthy of his stature, such as John Dryden, Aphra Behn, or William Congreve, the results are even better, but for the most part you can enjoy the music here without knowing anything about the original plays.

This set originally appeared as separate LPs in the 70s and 80s, and has been long out of print. That's a pity, since Purcell spent a good deal of his short professional life in the theatre, either writing the incidental music contained on these CDs, or the music for his larger works, the semi-operas (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, and the like). Almost all of these works are enjoyable gems; certainly, they represent a pinnacle of English 17th century music. Purcell had a genius for spinning musical gold out of the most leaden lyrics (check out his Odes and Welcome Songs on Hyperion if you don't believe me), and he does the same with the song texts in these plays.

Hogwood and the AAM offer clean, listenable performances, and the sound on these old analog discs has been cleaned up and brightened--although they were pretty good, even in the late 70s. As with most Hogwood, emotional extremes are kept to a minimum, so the "otherworldly" nature of late 17th century music, so often emphasised in more recent Baroque performances, doesn't come across here. It would be interesting to see what a group like The King's Consort would do with this music, but this set fills the major gap in the Purcell canon quite nicely.

My only beef with the reissue, as with many reissues, is that the liner notes are rather thin for a 6-cd set--the lyrics to the songs, for example, are especially missed. Still, it's a worthwhile set, and a must for fans of Purcell, English Baroque music, or anyone who just wants to experience a taste of the last days of the Restoration stage.

Is it ironic that the Take Me Home soundtrack to the made-for-TV movie about everyone's (except for Charlie Rich, that is) favorite Muppet-haired country singer comes out at the same time as a John Denver indie-rock tribute of the same name? Perhaps a John Denver renaissance is at hand. Don't laugh. As both albums attest, Denver was an amazingly talented singer and composer, his songs central to the Zeitgeist of an age. The auspices for the Take Me Home soundtrack are dubious (a CBS movie starring Chad Lowe as the late troubadour), but, incredibly, it stands as one of the more definitive retrospectives of the artist's career. Late in his life, no longer enjoying the heights of the charts, Denver revisited many of his early works, reinterpreting them with his matured vision and voice. These recastings are sprinkled liberally throughout the album, side by side with his original recordings, and the result is both the John Denver you loved and a John Denver you've never heard before. His rerecordings of early hits ("Leaving, on a Jet Plane," "Take Me Home, Country Roads," "Sunshine on My Shoulders") discover new emotive depths to the tunes, his voice richer in timbre and expression. Untouched originals ("Annie's Song," "This Old Guitar," "Poems, Prayers, and Promises," "Thank God I'm a Country Boy") remind us of a more optimistic day, when his songs ruled the airwaves and became ingrained in our consciousness. --Tod Nelson

TV Story Of A Special Talent.......2006-07-04

To say that John Denver is still underrated to this day is something of an understatement. I think that people cynically toss him away as being a "flash in the pan" because he was everywhere in the 70's. It is possible that John was "over-exposed" in the 70's and that people were burnt out by the 80's. Also, people do not realize that John had friends who were also country music superstars during the 90's.
The Chad Lowe, John Denver TV movie was a disappointment to me. Obviously the script writers did not pay very close attention to his autobiography. All they had to do was read the book and copy it into the script. They had several details out of sync with his timeline, and they seemed to be in a hurry to end the movie. It could have been much better if they had given the film four hours instead of two. When I heard that Chad Lowe was playing John, all I could think of was that he needed a job and his price was right. Personally, I wish that they had left John's story to the documentary film makers.

Breathe of fresh air.......2001-06-28

A lovely cd. Just takes your breathe away to hear John's clear sweet voice. Not a lot of extra instrumentation. Makes you feel good all over. Feeling down? Just listen to this CD and feel happy and closer to nature. It's a feel good cd. You won't be disappointed.

A beautiful musical tapestry.......2000-12-14

John Denver left behind a magical musical treasure, and this CD weaves it all together to form a beautiful tapestry. From the touching opening notes of "Annie's Song" to the soaring chorus of "Flying for Me," this CD will keep your heart and senses enraptured with it's delicate, simple style. These songs are favorites of all of John's fans, but they are even more touching in light of his sudden, tragic death. Songs like "Leaving, on a Jet Plane," and "Poems, Prayers, and Promises" now bring a different kind of tear to the eye. Thank you, John, for touching our lives.

To The Fan From Atlanta, GA..........2000-07-08

The song you are referring to is called "For Baby (For Bobbi)" The title is written like that because John originally wrote it for a girl named Bobbi. Later, he changed it to the "For Baby" because it sounded more like a lullaby. It was written in 1965 and first appeared on a Chad Mitchell Trio album titled, "That's the Way It's Gonna Be." The album was released again under the title "Violets of Dawn", also in 1965. Hoping to capitalize on John's popularity, the album was re-released in 1974 as "Beginnings...The Mitchell Trio Featuring John Denver." Liner notes show the song to have been written by "H. J. Deutschendorf, Jr." I had the pleasure of seeing John Denver in concert 3 times in the 1970's, once in the 1980's and last in the 1990's. I was looking forward to seeing him again in 2000. I guess it will just have to be on video.

This collection is a great way for anyone to listen to a sampling of John Denver's work. The movie was not that great, mostly because of the close-ups of Chad Lowe mouthing the words to John's songs. I think it would have been better to have used shots from behind him, or from a distance instead. Seeing the songs I'm so familiar with coming from a difference face made me a bit uncomfortable.

Friends around a Campfire.......2000-05-10

Talk about under-rated, under appreciated, taken for granted...well that would be the music and especially the voice of John Denver. Evocative,romantic,innocent and clear,listening to this CD brings us back to the pure possible pleasure of country roads. By the time "Rocky Mountain High" comes up, goose bumps will come up too. Take a moment from your millenium life,and get this CD. Follow me where I go..........
