John is an excellent example of the Golden Age of the Singer/Songwriter in the early 70s.
John Denver was not just loved. He was beloved.
I'm an old progressive rock / jazz fusion snob, but this has always been my favorite song. It still speaks to me after all these years. RIP, Brother John. We miss your voice and soul in these trumultuous times.
John denver is a folk singer. He is a singer, songwriter, musician,record producer and an actor. He was a huge envirometalist. In the 80s he testified in congress when they were trying to ban certain types of music. I was heartbroken when he died in a solo plane crash he was flying.
That was a shock. he was great in that hearing against the PMRC
He’s singing about himself when he first went to the mountains at 27 years old, and saw the meteor showers ( “ I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky”)He’s my favourite songwriter ever. Soaring vocals!
John Denver a part of the backdrop of Americana.
John Denver was kind of his own genre, and EVERYONE can appreciate his seemingly KIND vibe.
SO YEAH MUGS, JOHN WAS AN AMERICAN ICON 😊TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS, CALYPSO, ANNIE'S SONG, SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS ( HUGE HIT OF HIS ) 👍HE CRASHED HIS PRIVATE PLANE RIGHT INTO THE MONTEREY BAY BACK IN ( 97 ) RIP ☹JOHN!
Annie's Song is so beautiful! And even though they divorced, they never stopped loving one another. ❤ Annie still runs his charities.
Country Roads & Sunshine on my Shoulders ❤
This song garnered such an increase of campers and other tourists to Colorado that it was officially made the State Song.
This song was BIG when it was released, in the top ten for about two weeks solid. John used to tell audiences that it took him NINE MONTHS to compose it!
Cool how it has a driving beat without any drums.
I was lucky enough to see him in concert on 4/1/1975. I was 7 years old, it was my 1st concert and I have loved his music ever since. Fly high John. 😢
My first concert too, 1973
This song is just about finding where you belong in this world. He was a military brat, going from pillar to post following his father's stations and as the first verse says, "He was born in the summer of his 27th year/Coming home to a place he'd never been before." Denver himself is the protagonist of the song and this is about his own discovery of where he belonged. The song always moves me as we are all searching for our place.
I've been playing guitar for 50 years and the first song I learned to play was John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads". I have played several benefits with an African American friend of mine (very good guitarist and singer) whose favorite covers to perform are John Denver songs. I have played some of them with him including "Back Home Again" and "Poems, Prayers and Promises".
True americana. Pure
Master of his realm…
John Denver makes great soul music bro
The song is correct you really haven't lived until you've gone to Colorado into the mountains there's peace in the mountains Great reaction rock on
If all that John Denver ever did were the first few bars of Country Roads and Rocky Mountain High he would still be a legend.
I also live Grandma's Featherbed! It brings back so many memories of visiting relatives in the Ozarks when I was little! ❤
Steel guitar last verse.
He played a 12 string guitar, and I hear a Mandolin, and a slide guitar/ dobro later in the song.
Check out "Country Road Take Me Home" and if you want to get hillbilly funky "Thank God I'm a Country Boy".
Hi Mug.
Oh yeah, and he was in the movie "Oh God" with George Burns, and drove an AMC Pacer.
😂@@MadAnthonyI
There's nothing like getting high in the mountains, it's the best buzz of your life!
Very early seventies. He had an amazing career. Labelled as country but really was folk. Had like 30 hits very prolific as a writer as well. Naturalist you see nature in all of his songs. Great to see you react to him. Did a duet with an opera star early 80s. Perhaps love. It was a great blend
He was one of my favourites in my teens. You have to listen to his Calypso!
Calypso was a tribute to the ship belonging to Jacques Cousteau, the famous undersea explorer. Sung very differently from Rocky Mountain High.
Johnn was very much an environmentalist who sang a lot about our natural world.
Oh my gosh John is such a gem. So glad you tried him out. He just has a style that relaxes you and just makes one think about home and nature and all the good things in life.
Love John Denver's music! The music 🎶 you want to listen to when you're chillin'
John Denver was the bard of my generation. His mellow songs & sweet voice are greatly missed. 💔 😢
❤ all your reactions. Im not alone in this, it brings me joy. It's like re-living introducing my son to "my 🎶 & vice versa - my playlist expands when you introduce me to "the kids" 🎶 😊
Great lyrics as was the case with all of his songs. He takes you there with him along with his smooth flowing voice. Taken from us much too soon.
Great reaction to an excellent song! He had quite a catalog and I've listened to very few singers with a voice so pure.
You're a city boy, Mugnify. It's hard to put across the reverence for nature unless you've stood in the mountains. It can be like seeing God.
You really need to check out his song, Thank God I'm a Country Boy.
He always sang truth.
Was fortunate to attend several of his concerts. Great times.
That's a Pedal Steel Guitar w the piercing/slide sound. Big hit for John Denver in as you said mid-late 70's. Glad you enjoyed the song.
Watch this song done live and many of your questions will be answered.
When you asked what instrument it was, I believe it was a pedal steel guitar. Mostly used in country music, the pedal steel is played with finger picks and a metal slide. The strings are tuned to an open chord but there are both foot pedals and knee levers to change what type of chord is being played. The pedal steel is on its own stand as opposed to lap steels which are played on the player's lap and have no pedals to change the chord type.
You were hearing a steel guitar that sounded like a violin There are a lot of great John Denver songs. You should listen to Take Me Home Country Roads sometime. You might recognize that one. Thanks for sharing this. 🙂
The strangest thing in my musical journey through life is that my first absolute obsession was John Denver, and my next was Ren. Wild. The man has so many styles, though all in his distinctive voice. I hope you look further into his catalog; I'm sure you'll find lots of suggestions in the comments. Thanks for a great reaction!
JD became a conservationist, and recorded a few PSAs.
He passed away too soon!
Joe Walsh Rocky Mountain Way ·
Had such a crush on him back in early 70s ❤
Went to college from 72 to 76 and this was one of the song tracks.
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎
Mid 70s.
Although some of his songs have that country-style sound, John Denver was not a country artist. His music was played on regular pop radio and soft rock stations. His music was more folk/western, singer-songwriter, although genres at the time weren't as rigid as they are nowadays.
That "sound" is a slide guitar
He loved the country an# nature.
You have to watch one of the videos of this song because it really helps bring the whole vision of what he's talking about to reality. The guitar sound that you were talking about finally there is a steel guitar and he usually has an android player as well.
That is a pedal steel guitar.
It's a Mandolin
This song is closer to mainstream soft rock than country. John Denver had a great voice and was a talented writer. Your review was good, insightful. The higher toned instrument at the end is a banjo, I think.
His music is folk, but a few of his songs lean more country.
Have you reacted to Patsy Cline yet? If not may I suggest a couple of her songs. Crazy , Sweet Dreams, I fall to pieces. I think you would love her music. Thanks really enjoy your reactions
I have done maybe 2-3 reactions to PASTY CLINE
Recorded in 1972
I don't know what that is, I never picked the music apart, I just listened to it! Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you Mugsy!
Regardless of the meaning of this song I'm still going to 4/20
We can do both.
It's a shame GOD took him so early.😇
"More people, more scars upon the land".😭😭
WHAT THE HELLLLLLLL HAPPENED TO YOU MUGS??? 😊YOU JUST OUT OF THE BLUE WENT ON THIS ( VAN HALEN ) EXCURSION, IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY TO SEE IT PLAYING OUT, YOU WERE JUST GOING OFF ALBUM TO ALBUM , VERY VERY COOLS1 MUGS! 💯👍 BUT SADLY ENOUGH WITH COPYRIGHTS AND CRAP SOMETHING BAD WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN RIGHT? 😮 ANYWAY YEAH SO MY FAVORITE COUNTRY WAS ALWAYS ( ALABAMA, MERLE HAGGARD, GEORGE STRAIT. JOHHNY CASH, WILLIE NELSON ) TOP 5 MASTER LEGENDS FOR SURE! 😊
Quit yelling 😊
Have to subscribe, good collection you got going
Thanks and welcome
Those are steel guitars riffs.
PS: Afro Celt Sound System please 🙏
Afro Celt Sound System is a fantastic recommendation. One of the best relatively unknown bands around. If you love energetic world music and sublime.ambient sounds, you will love Afro Celt Sound System. "When You're Falling" has Peter Gabriel on vocals. RIP Simon Emmerson.
@@mikemicrael5749 😃 You said it all. IMO Volume 2 is perfection. My favorite w/ lyrics is "Persistence of Memory". ❤ Peter too, from Genesis to this day.
@@Not_Squirrel Yes, Volume 2 is my favorite ACSS, and Persistence of Memory is a great recommendation. Are you familiar with Geoffrey Oryema, also from Peter Gabriel's Real World label?
@@mikemicrael5749 ❤Geoffrey - his voice is so smooth. A fan of most the artists on Gabriel's Real World Records label & ACSS started it all for me. Ayub Ogada & Little Axe are personal favs
@@Not_Squirrel I'm not familiar with Little Axe and will check them out. My favorite artist from Real World is Joseph Arthur, the first American Peter signed to Real World. I have discovered so much great music through Real World!
What is that? It’s lap steel guitar
Not a violin...sounds like a steel guitar or dobro...used in a lot of classis folk & country music...but JDenver was a folk singer.....
At about the 6:13 mark, I believe what you're listening to is a slide guitar.
Sounds likea pedal steel guitar.
If you want to hear the opposite of this song,listen to Rocky Mountain Way by Joel Walsh.
I mean do you know what I’m saying ( that’s it ) you sound smart besides that
It's just the way I speak 😂
John Denver is from Canada! He is an American song writer! He loved the Rockies so he changed his last name to Denver! And I can't tell you his real last name it's Canadian!
John Denver was never Canadian. Born in Roswell New Mexico, built his house and based himself in Aspen Colorado from age 27 to 53 when he died.
Oh and his last name was Deutschendorf from German ancestry.
John was never Canadian. Born in Roswell, New Mexico USA. Built his home and lived in Aspen Colorado, from age 27 to 53 when he died.
If you don't know what John's singing about, then too much of your life has been dictated by the artificial constructs modern society has normalized but is NOT normal. If you're afraid of being in an environment where your brain and body find their own natural pace, that's even worse than Victorian attitudes towards sex. And seriously roughing it isn't needed. We had our kids with us when they were little. Smokemont Campground in the Great Smoky Mountains is only 5 miles from the town of Cherokee on the Indian Rez. Hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, laundry mats so you don't have to overpack clothes, and even a hospital. But the casino would be contrary for the goal.
Find a nice National campground in a nice National Park, preferably with a nice stream nearby for the natural white noise. Without screens, clocks or watches, the daylight recedes, the firelight burns low, the crickets chirp, conversation goes low after 10 PM, so you don't disturb your neighbors or wake up the children. Go to sleep when you're sleepy. Just make sure you have plenty of layers between you and the ground, so you won't get cold. Air mattresses are fine but the caution still applies. Wake up with birdsong as the daylight slowly rises. A single burner that screws onto a propane tank is fine for heating water for coffee or oatmeal or grits, unless you feel like something more elaborate. I don't recommend coolers. They marry you into going into town too much. You don't have to kill yourself during the day. There are usually short walks you can take around the campground or guided tours in the evenings from the Rangers if there's something interesting around to see.
Something happens suddenly. You find yourself wondering what day it is. All those constant reminders we're not even really aware of are gone. The only important time is to eat and secure your food for the night before it gets dark. You can put it in your car trunk or bear proof boxes if provided. Don't put put covers on empty pots or other containers you leave out. It drives racoons insane imagining what might be inside. If it's open and they see it's empty they won't bother your things.
The longer it goes on the more it dawns on you. The whole world once smelled like this all the time. Drive or hike up to a view that the whole world looked like all the time.
If we were staying longer than a week, we'd spend the night in a motel to get real showers, but some campgrounds have them, and do some laundry and generally resupply. My family is in Florida so we've gone to the Smokies every Summer we could afford it to get away from the heat for a week or two. I went with my parents when my brother and I were kids, and my husband and I took our kids. But The Smokies are a rainforest and make their own weather. Extra tarps and dry socks are needed. There are 129 species of trees there, because the Appalachians are so old. By contract The Rockies are young and have only 8 species of trees.
But wherever you go, go while you're still young. Find a home, at least for a few days in a place you've never been before. Your own brain and body, when you don't know what day it is. And you don't really care.
Steel guitar.
Just think he could have been a rapper. Not
why the hell would I be interested in your opinion on an old country western singer??????????? REALLY!!!!!!!
