I was in Cherry Point, NC..living while my marine husband was TAD in Okinawa when I heard it the first time. Born and raised in Keyser, W.Va...believe me I was so very lonely and homesick. Played it over and over and cried each time.
John Denver would be proud! I use to listen to this with my parents. They passed when I was younger. You brought back some good memories. Thank you!! 🌲 🌄 🌲
God Bless you Oliver Anthony ! Im going on 72 years old. Born and raised in this beautiful state. And to this day I hear this song I cry. Its not because I'm sad its because I'm so proud to be a Mountaineer. Oliver, I love to hear you sing. The good Lord has truly blessed uou in more ways than one. Keep up the good work and God willing if your ever up in North Central Weat Virginia playing I hope I'll be able to come and hear you in person. Thanks again for your beautiful rendition of Country Roads. ❤😘
@@debbiethomas I grew up on a Manitoba farm, great parents, healthy food and a bunch of siblings to scrap & play with. My heart is with you Debbie. We may not have your beautiful mountains, but we could kick the dust up too!!! It was a better life then, or so we youngsters thought ;) I hope you get the chance to see "Oliver Anthony" live one day soon!
Started listening to this songs 2months ago on the ship, I just got out yesterday and heading home. Thank you for bringing this song back to life for everyone. We love your works and God bless you brother. Keep the good work please. It reminded me of my hometown Jos Nigeria, I love the other song Rocky mountains Colorado I wish I could visit someday but for now it takes me home.@@oliveranthonymusic
Dear Oliver, please don't ever stop singing, the world needs your beautiful voice❤ In a world that is so crazy and so much darkness, you sir shine bright !! Thank you for sharing with all of us 🙏
You, Mr Oliver Anthony have me crying. I'm home!! I'm thankful that I moved back home! There's no better home on gods green earth. There's no better voice than yours either. Thank you, God bless you always
I left the state 28 yrs ago as a young man. We buried my father “back home” 3 years ago, in WV. I can’t hear this song without a tear. Montani Semper Liberi.
Goodness, the melancholy and soulful tales this song tells beneath the surface. You've done the mountains proud with this young one. Love this more than I can say. God bless you😇
Born and raised West Virginian, have never left for more than a week and I'll be buried here. This is by far my favorite rendition of Country Roads. Living here, every version that comes out is usually played to death. This is the one that I won't mind hearing constantly. The true spirit of these country roads and the total freedom they entail, what it means to be truly home to stay, was finally fully captured.
In my life, I would never accept another artist singing John Denvers Rocky Roads until the day Oliver Anthony sang it it brought tears to my eyes, and years back to my heart, absolutely beautiful!
Chills.... Beautiful, so beautiful. Thank you, Oliver, from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I was 10 years old when John released this song.....so many memories....
The Shenandoah valley is one of the most beautiful places to live. Born and raised in Shenandoah,Va now I live a few miles down the road in Stanley,Va, wouldn't trade this place for nothing.
Your music moves both the spirit and soothes the soul ❤ Thank you Chris and God bless you and yours always. Your voice and this song takes me back to my childhood and the natural beauty of Nova Scotia...cathartic tears flowing, once again. Thank God for the music of life. Amen ❤
i mean, he keeps putting up videos on youtube, has over 1 mil subscribers, get millions of views. There's definitely a monetary incentive. Not short playing his soul and talent, but if he really isn't being bought or sold he wouldn't be posting here.
@@Eliment51 so the only way to “not be bought and sold” is to not make any money…….how do you expect him to buy things at the grocery story……should he de-monetize his videos and work at Burger King…….would that make him “not bought and sold”? Would that make you happy? He is literally putting out songs FREE TO YOU AND ME and you complain…..wow… Sometimes comment sections are insufferable………🤦♂️
Beautiful state, beautiful song and I love it more than ever with Oliver Anthony’s beautiful singing. So raw and real, the best version of this I’ve ever heard.
I grew up with Denver singing it now young Anthony comes along giving it life once again when we truly needed it...God works in mysterious ways. Well done!! God bless
We have been praying for you. Your music has reached my 17 year old granddaughter. It's made a difference in her life. Thank you. Come to Kansas City. Please
This is my favorite song by John Denver! I was 5 yrs old when it came out, so was't listening to music until the late 70s. I have to say: John Denver was amazing but must say your voice was spectacular💯! God bless u, all yr family & America!!!!!!🕊⭐️🕯💝🕯⭐️🕊
You don't have to be from the mountains to be moved by this beautiful song about the most beautiful place and life. The mountain people that are never thought of or seen in regards to their poverty, struggles, and challenges. I know all are not these things but it the poorest part of our beautiful country. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been 5mnths on the ship listening to this song and now I'm going back to my hometown Jos Nigeria climbing the plateau mountains. Def a song to play... Also Rocky mountains high Colorado a song I would love Oliver to cover for us. God bless you brother Chris for keeping our hearts up. Love from Lagos Nigeria.
Sang this with my sisters in the 70s. Just recently learned that my mom has an other blockage in her heart and fluid in her right lung. She's 89 yrs old. She came from deep swain county NC and my dad from Yancey NC. He's been gone since 1989 not sure if I'm ready for mom to go 😢but I know God has a plan for me and my 6 brothers and sisters. My grandma said we would be in his care year's ago but with what's going on these days it's hard to be positive till I hear old songs like this ❤❣️💜🕊️🙏
John Denver is sitting there with a smile on his face with your dog by his side both entranced by that soul touching rendition. John at peace with a commending twinkle in his eye while gently giving your passed pup pets filled with the love and glory of God. Giving him comfort until he’s by your side again. Or at least that’s what I believe. Well Done OA, definitely a rendition of this song that will carry on through time with the original. Perfection of simplicity. One instrument, one voice, one timeless soul, nothing else needed other than an ear. It was a privilege to have lent said ear.
Grandpa was from West Virginia. Always a country fan but the only song I ever remember him singing along to was this one that reminded him of his home. Thank you for what you bring to this world young man.
Ol’ Denver would be happy with that rendition! Oh anywhere by a creek and a holler. Longing for the northern mountains of Israel. Take us home Yahuah 🙏
Our grand peoples felt that one brotherman. Thank u this song means a lot to some of us. Brings back beautiful memories of my kin folks picken and a grinning a family reunions or just sitting in a hot a living room next to the wood stove listening and singing with them all night long, dang thanks for sharing ur gift with us
Grew up in CA but my mom, sis and I sang this song all the time growing up, especially on car trips. You did it far better justice than we ever did. Grew up poor in late 70s, 80s, no tape deck or other source of music, so we just sang things like Amazing Grace, Oh Beautiful, Silent Night, etc. John Denver, Kate Wolf, and Willie Nelson still my all time childhood favorites ❤
As a proud West Virginian and one who has a great f ing appreciation for John Denver for his incredible way of giving this song a life of it’s own and I gotta say thank you Oliver you bring proud tears with your heartfelt performance, god bless you my friend.
I am 57, grew up with John Denver songs and they were on the radio the first decade of my life. To me they are pretty close to a religious place in my soul even though I would not classify myself as religious This is the best cover of this song i have ever heard by a “country mile” And like i said , i have five decades of covers under my belt Thank you for posting Oliver
I just can't get enough of your music, whether it's covers or your own beautiful, sad songs. Thank you for what you do, you are using the gift God gave you.
I was born and raised in West Virginia. Living in TN now! I cried hearing you sing this song. My heart will always be in WV. You sang that so beautifully. You have an amazing voice. Please no matter how much of a super star you are, keep that Country Boy in your heart alive. Thank you for making my day with your beautiful voice!
Where did you grow up? I was born and raised in Tennessee, but my daddy grew up in Monongahela National Forest before it was a national forest, near Fenwick and Richwood, if you know where that is. I still have many cousins there. He often talked about the mountains when I was growing up and loved nothing better than taking me for a long drive, then a long walk among the hills along a creek banks.
@ I grew up in Fairmont WV… about 2 hours south of Pittsburgh PA. The mountains of WV are truly beautiful especially in the fall when the leaves change colors. I moved to Franklin TN in 1997 after meeting my now husband online. I still have family in WV so I try to make it back there a couple times a year.
John Denver would be so proud of your authenticity Oliver. What a beautiful rendition of that song this is. The sound of your story telling warms our hearts. Thank you Oliver. 🌎🫶🏼🫵🏼
I'm 30 years old. I sing this song when I'm driving my 95 Ford pickup 🛻 Thank you so much olivor Anthony for singing this song exactly how I feel Thank you I really like the way you sang this. God bless you 🙏❤️
Idk why, but I cried listening to this..I remember being in Kindergarten, and hearing this play early in the morning on tv when we were getting ready to leave for school. Thank you for the memories! Great cover!
John Denver co-wrote and recorded this song and had never been to the State of WVa. Powerful still leaves me speechless.I think God was sending him visions while he was writing this song.
630 in the morning taking a shot and the man can still bring me to tears with the soul in his voice God thank you for letting this mans dreams come true our country needed that little bit of moral boost
Beautiful song and this is a nice rendition. Living here near Wheeling, it's by far one of the most played songs here at the VFW. Funny fact: This song was written by Denver and 2 others. And at the time of writing and recording it, John Denver had never been to West Virginia. Again, beautiful song and Anthony's rendition is great. Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving everyone. 🤘😎 Gobble gobble 🦃
As a country boy myself and child of a pioneer family here in North Clark County WA, my grade school class sang this song often as a group. But I hope you read your comments, because I want to say this: I'm still proud of America and all our ancestors built out of this wild land. You have the character and genuine trust of people to do a lot of good, if you can write some positive music to go with your grievances. I agree with the grievance, but focusing on that is, I think, part of what's wrong with America today. Even if you don't feel great about your lot before becoming rich from your music, please sing about our ancestors and pioneers and help bring pride back to the working people of America. Thanks for covering this song. It's a fav, and pairs well with your guitar and style.

Song definitely sounds better when an actual country boy sings it.
@@curtisthatcher2577Show us "your stuff"! This sounds amazing! If you don't know that, you have a lousy ear!
Was a 17 yr old in the army when that song came out in 71. Made me homesick
Just remember we can never really ever go home. God bless and thank you for your service.
I was in Cherry Point, NC..living while my marine husband was TAD in Okinawa when I heard it the first time. Born and raised in Keyser, W.Va...believe me I was so very lonely and homesick. Played it over and over and cried each time.
I was 16
We appreciate the sacrifices you've made, thank you for your service.

Sounds like you're living the good life.

Oliver touches the soul every time he picks up that guitar
Spot on, brings a tear to me eye almost everytime.
One verse in and I teared up. Love having my soul touched like this!!! 😁😁😁

Listening from wokey Ireland! Oliver Anthony please rescue us! Your songs have given us hope that we can be saved from the mind virus. Love listening.
The people need to band together and speak out publicly. They can't attack the majority.

I agree with the grievance, but focusing on that is, I think, part of what's wrong with America today.
Even if you don't feel great about your lot before becoming rich from your music, please sing about our ancestors and pioneers and help bring pride back to the working people of America.
Thanks for covering this song. It's a fav, and pairs well with your guitar and style.
Makes me miss a mountain I never lived on 🥲
