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 man sold his soul to the Devil, and now he's using his powers to save humanity. We need more heroes like him. THANK YOU Tommy Johansson !!
I live in West Virginia and my grandfather was full blood Swede and this is great :)
Одним словом WUNDERKIND!!!❤
The Kingsman theme at the end is just like a cherry on top
This man is a genius
Wow so amazing your sing this song ❤️💙❤️💙❤️ I love this song ❤️
My favorite song 🎸🔥🔥🎸🎸🔥you are super
RIP Merlin🤗🥲 thx Tommy for remembering him🥰
You are so amazingly talented Tommy. I can't believe I just found you and now I have to listen to each and every song.
It looked like you were having so much fun performing this. I'm here for it ❤
My mom loved John Denver. She passed away 2 months ago. I might cry when it starts
I´m sorry for your loss...
Oh so bad😢
I'm so sorry for her loss, she would be very happy if she had time to see this wonderful Tommy cover.👏💯🪕🎸
🤗
I am so sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace.
(Senior Citizen talking here). You know, you see the name of a song that you have liked all your life, then you see Tommy Johansson's name, and you think...no...not sure he is going to be able to pull this off and make it sound good. Then you listen and are blown away, and now you have two favorite versions of the song you like so much. Outstanding work, Tommy. Simply outstanding.
I absolutely fell in love with him, well, his music, first time I heard him sing "I'd Do Anything for Love". I'm a Jim Steinman devotee and am a very tough critic on anyone covering his songs ... you won a fan with that one, Tommy!
... I'll be 65 in June 🤣
The first three notes always fool me into thinking about "My heart will go on", and now you too want to hear Tommy singing that.
Never in a million years would I have guessed that I would fall head over heels for a Swedish giant who does power metal. I am a flutist/pianist in Michigan and I wish with all my heart that I could meet you. My heart is the problem though. I have a heart transplant and I now need two valves replaced, which means a third open heart surgery. Your music has a wonderfully calming effect on me. Thank you.
That comment took a twist halfway through 😳
I pray that you'll be the 'healthyflutegirl'. And with many Tommy Johansson songs ahead - for many years to come!
🙏I Will Pray For Your Speedy Recovery & Future Good Health🙏
Sending love and Prayers
🙏
71 years young here...LOVE YOUR MUSIC! What a mix you put on old favorites 😍
Love you brother. That was fun!! Great rendition and your signature on every piece of music is gold as always. Thanks for the ride!
This guy is absolutely one of the greatest rockers of the century.
Unglaubliche stimme, super gesang.... nach langer zeit mal wieder ein Künstler der versteht mit seiner stimme umzugehen!
Echt geil!!
This is so f*cking awesome lol!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super super 😊😊😊😊😊
Greetings from Huntington West Virginia! Very well done, as usual. And for anyone who wants to come to West-By-God Virginia, you are more than welcome! In fact, you should have been here yesterday!😉😉😉👍👍👍👍👍
There is so much technical proficiency and talent in every one of Tommy’s cover’s that it’s impossible to hear one without it adding something to the original track itself. He is extremely gifted and generous in the way he shares his music with us, we are blessed to have access to one of rock’s biggest name’s and rising star’s. Thank you Tommy, we love you bro, keep on rocking, and well keep on supporting you my friend - you’re a massive gift to music and we’ve only sampled a small amount of your incredible potential - I drink a toast to your future, because you *will* be a huge influence in years to come, it’s a pleasure to share this journey with you! 👍😉🫶
The banjo duel song at the end made my day, lmfao! Awesome cover, som alltid!
Bästa versionen jag hört på den låten.
Hey wie geil ist das denn??? Man bekommt richtig gute Laune beim zuhören, vielen Dank Tommy🤘🏼🤘🏼
Please Tommy let NO ONE take you away from your art! You are plain and simply awesome!
He played all music 😮😮
it's a great song~!!! very nice!!
I'm sure, John Denver's watching proudly from somewhere above, and thank you much for widening a musical outlook of people yet not knowing of such wonderful musicians' legacy ❤🔥 Have an amazing weekend everyone!
I need this on Spotify
You are a legend bro
Ououou, this made grandma from Finland HAPPY❤thanks Tommy😊🎉
Bloody f'ing Hell, dude. Excellent!! Do more of these things. I think you might be on to something here. ;-)
В завершающих аккордах, с небольшим замедлением, верхняя нота как взметнувшийся шпиль, просто поражает.
Took HR about 30 sec to show up and start scream at me. So worth it! Tommy Fridays continues in the office!
Sorry about that! Did they scream "Hell yeah brother, let's rawk!??
Ha vilken kung du är! Kanske ska testa samma på mitt jobb!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I feel genuinely sorry for your HR. Seriously, sounds like they need more fun in their lives. And more Tommy. ;)
@@DriftlessWarrior every time they force me in to the office on Friday's, I play Tommy over the office communications system 😆
@@ReinXeed they sure screamed. And I have a meeting on Tuesday (again) with them. Think they'll be happy when I'm working from Sweden in May 🤣
Finally a contender to Mark Strongs version in Kingsmen 🙂
That version is the inspiration to this one!! 😁
Now that I've seen the video - indeed - I probably should play the lottery today with that accurate a prediciton 😀
🫶
Lol
@@ReinXeed this was great! your jessie hat was quite cute! btw who was the man in the photo
That IS a great cover man.....Great voice. Also love the duel of the banjos in the end.
Wooow, Tommy…. You’re greater and greater song by song… what a voice!…..
You’re a legend ❤❤❤❤
Ok for an old lady like myself, hearing this classic being played this way (I've listened to many many versions of this) is actually really damn good, the talent of this guy is truly amazing. Thank you for doing this song, I absolutely loved it
I didnt know I needed a Swede playing a banjo until tonight!
Tommy plays everything he is a national treasure!
❤️❤️❤️ 😘 ❤️❤️❤️
My grandpa was a West Virginian and he passed in September. This made me cry and miss him so much!!! Simply beautiful.
I’m 62, I’m blown AWAY by his rendition of the classics in all genre ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow - Tommy makes this wonderful song to his unique OWN cover...! Great stuff Tommy! With all my respect - greetings from Germany!!! 🤩
Bin auch Deutscher, wo kommen sie her ?
i've been waiting for this version for years! thank you very much Tommy 🤟🫡
You were a real one, Merlin. The best the Kingsmen could have ever asked for.
Things I didn't know that I needed in my life - Tommy ripping a Banjo in Country Roads
Is there any instrument that man cannot play, and play amazingly well???
Agreed, a banjo solo is amazing and truly a special feat from a one of a kind artist.

What can I say. The prettiest and greatest cowboy on earth🥰🫂. It was terrific. Thank you sweetheart. Now I feel like dancing.💃
A contender with Geoff Castellucci
You can take a very sentimental song and transform it into something happy, fun without losing the essence.
You definitely have to be from another galaxy.
ROBERT, ELE NÃO É DESTE PLANETA TERRA NÃO, ELE É DE JÚPITER, PLANETA EVOLUÍDO! 😀
@@sandrinhadiniz8151Sandra, Eu sei que talento não se mede, mas ele deixou de ser medido para ser a melhor e a maior referência de como ser criativo, talentoso, trabalha para caramba e transforma nossos dias cinzentos em dias de alegria.😀
Whatever galaxy that is, I want to go live there!
HE'S PRETTY DARN GOOD AIN'T HE !
What a legend. You have such a rare talent. Not only your absolutely amazing voice but also your musical skills. Love it. Keep going and we will keep listening.
Jadu Tommy! Du har nog hört det förut… men jag säger det en gång till iaf .. vilket JÄVLA GENI du är!! Hat off man!!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Why is’nt this on Spotify yet. This is amazing
Dang. That was fantastic! When Country meets Metal… !!!! Wow.
I've been waiting for this for so long ❤
This just proves that amazing songs are just that. Doesn't matter what wrapper you put on it. Nice job
Right, so, apart from the talent that obviously goes through the roof, both vocally and instrumentally. What I also admire about this man, is his good humor and positive state at all times. That is to be appreciated, because after all we’re all human beings, and therefore have got our own troubles, either health-wise, or family-wise, or u name it any other type of problem. But he never allows that to affect the quality of his work as a musician, and because I realize that is probably quite hard to achieve, man u’ve got all my respect. Blessed be and keep up the good work 💙
Thank you for that! :)
Well said. Agree 100%.
💯❤
I could not have said it better!
Here is to you, Merlin. Your sacrifice will be forever remembered.
RIP MERLIN YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN few will only get this reference
Brilliant! Brilliant !!!
Дякую за позитив класс
Åh,det här kommer bli spännande!! En countrysång a la Tommy 🤠
Country rock
Fan tommy, blir så jävla glad varje fredag när du släpper dina låtar, du kanske inte tror det men det är hela höjdpunkten på hela veckan att få höra dina nya covers.
Du e one of a kind och är så grymt duktig på det du gör.
Vill härmed ägna ett stort tack för att du delar med dig av det du gör :)
Tack Tommy
Paying homage to Merlin is such an S-tier take
who's he?

My first thought was "Hmm, who might that be? Some friend that passed away? Looks a little bit like.....NO EGGSY WAY HE JUST DROPPED A MERLIN HOMMAGE!!" I am also sure Tommy would be able to pull it off in a Scottish brogue while standing on a live mine.
It will be difficult to hold back the tears.
Tommy, you are very special.
Magnificent
Perfect blend of country, Celtic , and metal
Du är så sinnessjukt duktig Tommy! Du kan ta vilken låt som helst och göra den till din egen och på ett sätt som man aldrig trodde var möjligt! Tack 🙏❤️🤠
...o yes, is true 😁❤️❤️❤️👍
Отличная песня в исполнении отличного музыканта, огромный заряд позитива и оптимизма перед выходными! Молодец Томми! Тысячу раз браво!
Huge John Denver fan here. This is so good!
Sempre gostei de Metal (e Have Metal) desde que surgiu! (Afinal, tenho 70 anos). Mas Johansson elevou-os a um patamar mais alto e digno!... Parabéns, você é Nota 10.
…and Kingsman in the background😂,so hilarious!love it!
Tommy, you are awesome. Ever since you collaborated with Erik Gronwall, I've been binge watching your videos. I'm glad I've discovered Swedish rock like you, Erik, and Crazy Lixx. I'm 57 and you guys are keeping rock alive. I lost my husband 2 weeks ago and watching your videos has brightened my evenings. Thank you. ❤🌺🌴🙃
I'm sorry for your loss😢💗
Sorry for your loss.and yes Tommy is the best.so talented.you need to watch all his older videos.so mind blowing and fun
So sorry for your loss 🙏🙏
I offer my condolences. I m sure Tommy s powerful and comforting Videos help you to go on. I wish you much strength for the coming time. ✨
I just found Tommy Jay by accident… Like just now, and just heard of Eric Gronwall a few days ago. I am deeply saddened that he quit the band but his health is far more important. I’m just disappointed that I just found him and now he’s gone off on his own. Now that I’ve discovered these two awesome gents, I am going to check out their Collab and find out what they’re all about.
I think this one and Viva Forever (with also a special mention to the Max Pezzali one)
are the best covers you've made
Took me completely by surprise, but I loved it...
Just found this Guy off of a reaction, he's really good 😊
Banjo metal to the people!!!
En riktigt bra Party låt som man spelar högt med lite allsång till 😉👍
WOW!! VILKEN KILLE 🤩
A deeply sad song can be turned into a joyful, upbeat tune without losing its original meaning. Without a doubt, you must be a space alien.
Fake account don't reply
Guys, how many of you hear a song and wonder what Tommy J would do with it? Truly down the rabbit hole and loving it!!!
It's me 100%.😂 Tommy's voice always is doing covers in my head when i'm listening to music.😂 🎸
meeee!
I just found Tommy Jay by accident. Love this song by John Denver and typically I would not like the remakes, but Tommy J rips it up. Love this version. So I now wonder what else Tommy Jay has done that will blow me away.
I want him to cover Vincent Black Lightning, I'm not sure what direction he'll go, but I think it'll be awesome.
❤❤❤
I'll never be able to listen to John Denver the same way again!
Oh my goodness. Not what I was thinking it might be. As I was trying to listen properly to his usual unfathomable talent, I was giggling and laughing out loud, which I haven't been able to do for awhile. Tommy you are so daft! Thank you, you lovable, beautiful man.
PÕE LINDO NISTO, LINDO É POUCO, GATO SELVAGEM, PRÍNCIPE E MAIS ALGUMA COISA! 😀
I found Tommy 6 months ago with his version of “Your the Voice”. (Nailed it of course🇦🇺) I found Sabaton 2 weeks ago (from the comments) and of course Majestica, none of which gets played on Australian radio. I’m 51 and feel like I’ve been ripped off not knowing of these or other Swedish bands. (How many more are there?) Now, on the way to work I have Tommy ripin on the Spotify, lovin Tommy’s versions of popular songs as well as ReinXeed/Majestica. 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Do you know Nightwish? My favorite band next to Sabaton and Majestica, in fact Nightwish is the reason I got to know both Sabaton and Majestica 😊
Glad to hear that!! ☺️👍👍
Another Aussie fan here, I agree he should be played on our radio stations. He is amazing
Welcome to our world
Try to listen to Hammerfall
@@marinamucic908 oh, I love Nightwish. Been listening to them for years.
Okay, I'm convinced. Every song is improved by METAL!
An unbelievable talent with an unbelievable voice. Amazing!
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy......all I can say is .....Brother you killed it. This song mean so much to so many people her in the US and even though there will be like "O No He Didn't Hater's" you did the song justice in your way and kept to still pure. Bless you!! Can't wait for the next song!!!
Какой ты талантливый Томми. Твори и радуй нас!!!❤❤❤

Just Amazing, John Denver would be proud 🎉
What an amazing cover he never dissapoints he's a legend 😊😊
I've been a John Denver follower since 1971, and have heard many, many covers...yours is the first cover to get every bit of me jiggling about, and my nerve endings tingling, it was. AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much!!! And if there's there's anyone who hasn't heard the Skye Boat song cover, please don't miss it!!!
I'm a newcomer to metal via Dan Vasc..omg..what I've been missing!!! ❤🎸🥁🎤
Oh take me home... where I belong... västerbotten county - river godess -take me home
Sting once said, good music is about surprise! What a journey of a cover! Fantastic!
I travel for work, often for months at a time. This is what I listen every time I'm heading home - like today
I loved John Denver,you’re amazing Tommy,thank you for this wonderful song ❤❤🤟🤟

Greetings from Oregon Your music and personality are a gift to use who watch you tube. Look forward each week to see what you come up with. Music has always been a part of my life. Thanks for all you do. Greatly appreciated more than you know.
Living 3000 km from "where I was born" makes it feel "mine"🥺 Powerful and also very romantic reinterpretation! BRAVO Tommy!! Remember the original with Great joy! Thankyou 🙏💚🤍❤️
