►LYRICS - Take Me Home, Country Roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowin' 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 around her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue waters
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 that 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
Oh West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, down the country roads

@donkeyslayer4661 3 жыл бұрын
Why? He discarded all the tree hugging stuff and went Hollyweird. Plastic Surgery and Lasik on his eyes. Screw making an album or writing songs. He had tons of money and now he was going to spend it. Unfortunately, one of those things was an E-Z Flyer a one man airplane and not an ultralight as was reported. These things are sold as kits and must be assembled.John Denver bought his already assembled. He was flying along the coast of his new home, California, when something went wrong and he plummeted to his death on the coast.

I have a different "Why?" John Denver didn't write this song; Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert did. (Bill and Taffy were "Fat City," Denver's backup band; later, with another couple, they were Starland Vocal Band, of "Afternoon Delight" fame.) John is given some of the credit; he helped, but it basically wasn't his. He sure did a beautiful job recording it, of course. Bill, or Bill and Taffy, have writing credits on several of John's hits. And there are some which John himself wrote. Fred

As an older gent still existing in an ever changing world, it's refreshing to see a mainly younger generation group that can interpret a song written well before they were born, re-arrange it in a bluegrass style, but perhaps even adding more feeling and emotion than the original. The harmony and feel, different than the original, but still the same. I feel sure that John would be smiling! You are a shining light so needed in our times. Thank you!

Bill Danoff and (then-)wife Taffy Nivert ("aka, Fat City"), who wrote this song, are both still alive, I believe. They'll probably smile at this performance, too, if they find it. Fred

I've said this before, but watch these folks perform very carefully. This is how it's done. No amplifiers, no dancers, no fancy stage effects, no auto-tune. Just a lot of talent and hard work doing something they clearly love. You can tell they're having fun too. And whoever does their arrangements - great job!!

It ain't easy! The coordination/doing two things at once part is fine, but if you get off key on one or the other, it's very tricky to figure out which one's wrong and then fix it. Looks like what she's doing is fairly straightforward, though- open strings, then off beats. Not to knock Katie, I think she's a fantastic singer and fiddler.

Awesome version, John Denver would be proud of this. My mother was an alcoholic in the late 70's,and when she was on a bender, she would play this until she passed out. She passed away in 1984. I hated the song for 30 years, but in the past 10 years have grown to embrace the words, and enjoy the songs message as a 60 year old.

I'm impressed and pleased at several levels so I don't know where to start. I'm a bit puzzled. I grew up in Hollywood and the music industry in LA. I'm an engineer and a musician, and have some idea of what it takes to produce a recording of this quality. Yet, I don't see all that stuff here in the video. And, it's obviously not a lip-sync. Yet, it sounds amazing -- stunningly good -- jaw dropping. All the instruments are present. The vocals are perfect. The performance is flawless and the engineering perfect. These days, I'm retired and living in West Virginia. Imagine that. And, I've been a fan of this song since the 1970s. So, just wow! This performance is superb. Until now, the best performance of this song I'd ever heard was when John Denver did this as a duet with Mama Cass Elliot, who is the ultimate expert at harmonizing with another singer. Now, there are two performances that are in first place. You guys are amazing. There's so much garbage being sold as "music" these days, you give me hope and make me very happy. Please continue.

Phillip I agree with you 100 percent. I've worked in television audio up here in Toronto for over 40 years and have worked for all the major US and Canadian networks; thousands of live audio projects and this piece definitely stands out. I'm thinking a very expensive console, perhaps a NEVE with extremely high precision mic preamps, recorded in a professionally treated room by someone with producer type hearing. Member of AES, SMPTE, SBE, ASA. A lot of care and good planning went into this, not to mention the super talent of these young people.
