John Denver was an American country and folk singer who had a great many hits like this one. He had millions of fans around the world. Unfortunately, he died in the late 90's or early 2000's in an experimental plane crash. He is still missed by millions of fans world wide.

He wasn't just a country singer, he was/is a legend.

Thank you for your delightful reaction to John Denver singing Take Me Home, Country Roads. We lost John in an airplane accident on 12th October 1997, aged 53 years old. He was a popular singer of folk, country and pop songs and a prolific songwriter, and also an actor, a noted environmentalist and world hunger activist and humanitarian beginning in the 1970s. His career saw him record some 300 songs, of which 200 were written by himself. His sales brought him several gold record successes, while his Greatest Hits album has gone multi platinum. He had suffered lean times in the musivc industry through the last decade of his life, but there was a time in the mid 1970s when he was the No 1 top selling recording artist in the world, He sold millions of records around the world in 1974 qnd 1975, scoring hit after hit which made him a huge star. The song that you have reacted to has been honoured by being chosen as a state song for West Virginia. That honour has also been awared to another of his amazing songs Rocky Mountain High, which is a state song for Colorado. Other great songs include Leaving On A Jet Plane, Sunshine On My Shoulders, Sweet Surrender, I'm Sorry, Annie's Song, Fly Away and Back Home Again.

John was the best selling soloist in the 1970's. yes we still listen to him...

John Denver is one of those rare artists whose music appeals to anyone no matter of race, creed or culture. I've watched people from Canada, Russia, Sweden, Nigeria, and others react to his music and all have similar reactions as yours. Good music is just good music no matter who you are or where your from.

Thank you so much for reacting to this song. To us West Virginians, that song means so much !

John is, and was an Icon! He’s not Country, he’s his own genre! 😎🐎🤠👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

John Denver has a large catalog of music. He was a great showman and performed in lots of intimate settings. His voice was amazing. A few of his songs are Rocky Mountain High, Annie’s Song, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Sunshine on my Shoulders. Check him out again. Nice reaction.

John Denver was environmentalist who sang and wrote songs about nature and donated time and money to protect nature ✌️❤️

Every John Denver song is awesome 👌

Awe he’s so adorable and so are you thank you for wonderful reactions

John Denver is an amazing artist I would also recommend Rocky Mountain High from him as well

My 15 year old has ALWAYS loved John

It was a major blow hearing he died. loved his music, even when it came out. it was playing on the rock stations as well as the country stations.

Hearing the «Джентльмены» word in russian was so cute. Just through the heart 😀

John Denver has *lots* of hit songs. This song is really for anyone who is away from home. Or even maybe at home. Lots of recommendations below. I'll recommend "Thank God I'm A Country Boy."

Your dog trying to be the centre of attention was killing me😂

As a person born and growing up in West Virginia , makes me happy to see you enjoying that song.

Everyone can relate to John Denver. "Back Home Again" is equally as great.

ANYTHING JOHN DENVER!!!!

Denver's songs are put into a unique category of music most accurately described as "Americana"-not quite country nor pop, but more about the American experience, if you will.

God bless you young lady!

Thanks! Another reaction I missed. This is the music my parents listened to when i was a kid. Brings back happy memories, but makes me a little melancholic. It is beautiful folk music, glad you liked it so much.

"Country Roads" is one of the iconic anthems of the Country and Western genre. Another song by John Denver, "Annie's Song", was voted as one of the best love songs of all time. Take a moment and check that song out.

Spoke in front of Congress and said the U.S. has no right to censor music. Now that's what I call a freedom fighter

My home state. ❤❤❤

You will love Annie’s Song, which John Denver wrote for his wife. Greatest love song ever written.

You are sweet person….loving such beautiful music….and being touched by it. You have a good heart.

Your dog was really getting into the music! He knows good music.

I think he is the greatest singer n writer in oldschool country.

My favorite reaction of yours so far! You are always beautiful and sincere, but I loved your tender reaction to "Take Me Home, Country Roads." Thank you so much!

This song is one of many oldies but goodies.

Great song,, Thanks sweet lady !

Had to drop a like for the Mark Strong rendition in Kingsmen reference. Absolutely amazing scene in modern cinema.

Leaving on a jet plane is my favorite by him.

❤ My first JD love was LEAVING ON A JET PLANE. My favorite waltz, ANNIE'S SONG. West Virginia football crowd COUNTRY ROADS sung by thousands. Hug Montana

As others have suggested, you'd probably love "Rocky Mountain High" and "Annie's Song".

He was such a great Performer and Individual it’s been years since I’ve listened to him and I’m crying..what a voice

What u mean is that you love and appreciate his song and how awesome his voice is..right?

I grew up Listening to John Denver...I think i love every song :)

John Denver’s music is so great he passed to soon. This is blue grassy/ American folk it’s a favorite everywhere. Check out Rocky Mountain High another all time great.

He had a great voice.

Find more John Denver you will cry many many more tears. Great vocalist

John Denver, Mr Perfect pitch. doesn't get more American than this.

I live in Texas now but was born in W.V. and everytime i hear this song it reminds me when i was a kid livin up in the hills.😊

I'm 61 his man was a big part of my life in the 70's

Fantastic reaction sweet lady..... Thank You !!

I love you rusiann❤❤❤

When i hear John Denver, i think everytime about the movie Final Destination!🤣🤣🤣

even the dog was singing the song! how cool is that😅

I would say it is as country as John Denver gets by in large he is folk singer

Glad you liked it, yes, we've been listening to and singing John Denver songs for 50 years or so. This one is pretty well known. Try watching 70,000 fans sing Country Roads here on KZfaq.

In the movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Merlin was Scottish. The Scots have adopted this song as one of there anthems. That’s why Merlin was sing Take Me Home Country Roads.

Awesome reaction to an awesome song, performed by an awesome singer-songwriter. When you get the chance, please check out Dan Vasc, a Brazilian singer. His rendition of "Amazing Grace" is a good place to start.

The lady harmonizing with John on this song makes it extra beautiful.

I really enjoy this song. It's nice and laid back. You can just relax and enjoy it. Great reaction Irina!

You need to come to Colorado and experience what he’s singing about. Only then, can you really appreciate his music.

To give you an idea of the level of John Denver's writing, Take me Home is the official song of West Virginia, Rocky Mountain High is the official song of Colorado. One songwriter who had his music adopted as the official song for not one, but two US states.

Love your warm reaction, love Russia and her beautiful people. Check out John Denvers ' Annies Song" perhaps the most beautiful song ever written. ~A friend from USA

Song was written by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, who performed as Fat City. Denver helped finish the song. Danoff and Nivert (they were married) later found success as part of the Starland Vocal Band.

He was amazing. Listen to more of his music.

An outstanding song with a similar longing for home theme is James Taylor's Carolina On My Mind.

I really enjoyed your reaction to Country Roads by John Denver. If you want to hear the same song sung today , try Geoff Castellucci's version of Country Roads

Look at that cute little guy and his pet Russian.

Great reaction! I'm From West Virginia. The song became a West Virginia theme song. Really plucks at my heart strings! Try reacting to Thank God I'm A Country Boy by John Denver.

Yes! Rocky Mountain High!

Yeah, Merlin went out like a Boss having sung this song getting the thugs to gather around him. Fun movie the "Kingsmen".

I'm actually from West Virginia.So proud of this song.

Very nice to be here to see you discover a legend. 😊

If you enjoyed this, check out his song Wild Montana Skies. Another artist you might check out is Glen Campbell.

this song is funny in that he's singing about West Virginia, but everyone everywhere thinks about their own 'home' wherever that may be. The feeling of longing to 'go back' is universal.

You are such a wonderful romantic…John Denver and his music was a great part of my youth….He was also a actor…Look for a Movie “Oh God”…You’ll love it…

This song is so nostalgic! I enjoyed it in the Kingsman movies as well!

John sang and released a song, with a fellow countryman of yours, Alecksander Gradsky. Let Us Begin, What Are We Making Weapons For. You might want to take a listen, live version best. John was an environmentalist, humanitarian and philanthropist. Also was the first US entertainer to have public performances in USSR after many years, he was the catalyst for the US/ USSR Cultural exchange to begin again.

Hi Irina. Just watched your video with John Denver. I live in West Virginia. That song is our state theme song. We are known as the mountaineers. He had many popular songs in the 70s and 80s. Sadly he passed in a plane crash. Watch a WVU college football home game. The whole stadium will sing that song during the game. Pretty cool!!

Wow honey your reaction takes me back.

As someone who grew up in Colorado, loved John Denver & his music, and moved back here over 10 years ago now, it's good to see someone not of America react to this incredible talent, and get you're perspective. Although, if you continue listening to him? I think you'll find he doesn't have much in common with the movie Kingsman", as you might think, lol. Except for the comedy. John was a very funny guy. Naturally, actually? Because he was just such a good, clean, wholesome guy... *screeeeech!!* ... people gonna freak I said that- except that he WAS that way, when it came to his music. Personal life aside? The man was a brilliant artist, songwriter, actor, and vocalist- He always kept his music clean. And this ended up being a pretty big problem for him in his music career, because.. what they call real musicians"? Wouldn't give him his due as an artist. Because they were imbeciles to the man. Seriously- instead of just accepting the man for his pure, raw, natural talent, they got bent, because he wanted to keep his music clean for ALL to enjoy. He didn't want, NOR did he need, an "edge" to his music. He was THAT good- he didn't have to have it. As a musician myself, I actually got the chance to tell him that once. I've no idea if it took or not, but I doubt it. He really did always seek the validation from those HE admired, as we all do. They should have given it to him, BEFORE he died. What you really should do, when it comes to John Denver? Listen first, to his incredible voice. Maybe THE best male vocalist I've ever heard, certainly in the top two. His voice is pure, his vibrato is rich, and he can hold a note longer than just about anyone. Some called him an "environmentalist". That actually makes him seem like those people who are obsessed and out-of-control stupid, in regards to how they respond to our environment. That was NOT John Denver. He LOVED nature, the outdoors, the creatures that inhabit this earth, and the FREEDOM they both represent, & enjoy. And you'd have to, to write with the love about these things, that he had. If you want a really good selection of songs to listen to, to get the variety of just who John Denver was? Try these: "Rocky Mountain High", (seen mentioned several times), "Annie's Song", "This old Guitar", "Poems, Prayers, & Promises", Calypso, (his love of the ocean, and of the old Jacques Cousteau adventures, where he actually got to go out on the ship, "The Calypso", come through so strongly here, and his vocals are 2nd to none)... ... And last, but not least, (and there are SO many others), one of my personal favorites, that I play myself, "Rhymes & Reasons". These are just to get you started, and to give you a real sense of the man. "Grandma's Feather Bed", which he eventually did one night on "The Muppets", show his comedy side. Also, his movie "Oh God!", with George Burns? You just might want to do a review of that, as well. I think you'll really love it. Enjoy your reactions, and will be looking forward to more in the future.

My favorite country song of all time!

Dear Russian Beauty, Home, Happy and Sad, the word is Nostalgia. The song made you Nostalgic for the Past.

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares to You

Song by David Frizzell and Shelly West (You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma)

Very few songs touch me like this song, my Dads family is from West Virginia, I spent some summers up in those mountains. Their all gone now, its just a faded memory.

We always love our homes, mothers, friends. Where are hearts abide forever.

RIP John Denver.

His live album "An Evening with John Denver" is a lot of fun! Lots of great hits played live with lots of jokes and fun. Check it out!

From WV, and a found memory is comming back home via VA and this song comming on with the blue ridge in sight. The tunnel through the ridge and state line starts the WV Turnpike. That ends in Charleston WV. Above on the top of the ridge is a senic highway and parts of the Appalachian Trail. I hate ads for country roads that always cut off the state name denver is singing about. Imagine all the love songs with a girls name in it and ad companies said never give the name in an ad.

John Denver is a treasure trove of soul singing music! Rocky Mountain High will make you soar like an eagle 😉 and would make a great follow up to this one. Annie's Song also, and MANY more!

So much fun watching you get carried away by this song... West Virginia is a beautiful state, if you'd have visited it, you'd be even MORE carried away.. you'd have a point of reference... REALLY great reaction 🤠🤠🤠. Peace!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amen!!!

Thats where i live and from. Nothing like it in the world. Glad u enjoyed the song

Not to confuse you, but the late great John Denver was a folk singer..

Chris Stapleton from Tennessee Whiskey that you love ❤️... Try Chris Stapleton Whiskey and you... and Fool me again...and I was wrong...they are all the best and I promise you will agree lovely lady.. 👍🏻

RIP, John Denver was flying an experimental when he crashed in to the ocean and passed away.

Along with Country Roads on Denver's greatest hits album, there are: Follow Me Starwood in Aspen For Baby (For Bobbie) Rhymes and Reasons Leaving on a Jet Plane The Eagle and the Hawk Sunshine on My Shoulders Goodbye Again Poems, Prayers and Promises Rocky Mountain High -Virginia Beach, Virginia

I was standing right across the street from the beach when his plane went into the water....

My vote for what's next is John Denver's "Shanghai Breezes".

Having lived in both wv and Colorado, John Denver's song rocky mountain high is a good song to review. The true mountain state

That dog is awesome. Don't feel bad. A lot of people cry when they here this genius of folk music

This is timeless and true John Denver music.

The official song of my state.
