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.
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
france here, i comeback to this video each weeks at least since 4-5 years and it's always a pure happyness, also greetings to everyone who read this while listening to this masterpiece
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!
Lyric Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, blowing 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 morning hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have 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
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...
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.

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.
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
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.
Just come back here to remember one of the greatest gems the internet and UA-cam made visible. I'm so thankful. I could listen to her sound for days on end. Love you Jamie. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with the world.
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 ❤️
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...
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
The magic of this song is captured with a bit of a faster tempo. But you’ve done a fantastic job. You have a great voice. I’m from 🇨🇦, but I went to Virginia once. Stayed at the most whimsically country b&b. I’ll never forget everything. The natural beauty, the kindness of the people there. It’s a place everyone would want to call home. Keep it up you sound great.
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?
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!
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!
a beautiful tribute to the amazing john denver. amazing voice been a fan from little victory. the first song i heard from u lifted my heart higher than the sunset
Yesterday UA-cam had a video of someone pulling out an ingrown hair from what looked like their pubes. Today UA-cam wants me to watch this. Why can't UA-cam get it right more often?
Did anyone noticed, in the end of the video, there were birds chirping around her, while there were none in the start of the video... Birds and animals sure do appreciate the music as much as we do... ❤️❤️❤️
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!!! "
Beautiful song.... Jhon Denver accompanied me for years in the mountains and meadows of Southern Chile, a cowboy life very far from the United States... Today several decades have passed and I live with nostalgia those years riding in summer and winter .... Now it's my children's and grandchildren's turn, they take care of my ranch... All I have left is memories...🇨🇱🇨🇱
Perfeito, você é linda, e faz a sua versão da música ser melhor do que a versão original, sua voz parece um coral angelical enfeitando a existência com cantos.

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
You singing this song is literally my alarm clock I wake up to you singing this song every morning.

Country girl sings country road . Aewesome .
Keith Urban is also from New Zealand, lot of country folks down there.
@J F Indeed she is!
New Zealand.
yeah i can hear the accent not country, but she doing sing good
Was Keith born in NZ? I thought he as a fellow Aussie born n bred. ( Or did we nab him like the Bee Gees?) Emily Liberty
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...
france here, i comeback to this video each weeks at least since 4-5 years and it's always a pure happyness, also greetings to everyone who read this while listening to this masterpiece

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
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'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

Beautiful❤️
It's 2020 and who's still listening to that walking miracle ? ✌❤

you'r not alone 😢
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
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.
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 voice, beautiful song, beautiful scenery and so are you thanks.

Lyric
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing 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 morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have 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
I didn't need It 😅😉
We know!!!!
Ty
Please make a studio version of this song!!! You're voice goes so great with it!!! If the wind wasn't so loud I would play this like crazy in my car
The wind gives it a good feel
You know you can download UA-cam as an mp3 right?
Same here. Please make a good version that we can replay

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River,
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Blowin' like the breeze
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
[Chorus]
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Every once in a while do you find a video on youtube that makes you say "wow"............ WOW!! Sweet!

Yes, but the outdoor view was spectacular. It was the icing on the cake. A little real-life breeze is fine.

Always like an outdoor video, listening to the song, the wind and the birds. It's great!
Best cover...best voice.. and the chirping of birds adds to the never ending melody of this song..
I lived in West Virginia for 3 years finishing up my degree at West Virginia University. With that said I freaking love this cover!

Your song is wonderful. I pay my respects to you from Japan.
Such a beautiful voice listening all way to the lone star state
its moments like this when I want to be rich and have a record label to sign such amazing singers like this
Damn girl, if you still see this, l want you to know that l am so happy to find this old video and make my day better, an incredible job!!!
Yesterday UA-cam had a video of someone pulling out an ingrown hair from what looked like their pubes.
Today UA-cam wants me to watch this. Why can't UA-cam get it right more often?
I didnt like the song either
Sounds like it got it right twice?
Sounds like they are two for two?
Bunch of sick fucks
Ya wierd , why watch ingrown hair videos
