4.0 out of 5 stars Shame it's not a double, 21 Oct 2004

By	Mr. R. B. Ager "Ronald Ager" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Thirty years ago it was that the BBC enticed John Denver across the pond, gave him and his blend of seeming homespun country and folk songs a concert and then a primetime TV series with which he duly won the ears and hearts of the great British public. Most of this collection draws from his most popular mainstream material of that time through to the early 1980s, and the tunes have certainly stood the test of time, even if some of the lyrics may now be unfashionable. They track his development from one man and his guitar, singing "Poems Prayers and Promises" through the much-covered group number "Take Me Home, Country Roads", and the twee love song to his (then) wife Annie, to the rather over-produced, orchestra-led tribute to Jacques Cousteau, "Calypso", and the perhaps ill-advised duet with Placido Domingo, "Perhaps Love" - even on the back burner Domingo has more heat than most.

It's a fine single album tribute to the late singer and includes all his chart hits. A double album would have been even better, for there is much material on his LPs, both early and later, worthy of bringing to the attention of today's audience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Music to heal the soul, 27 Oct 2004

By	E. Crofts "Emma C" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There really are no words to describe the feeling you get when you here John Denver sing. If you've ever heard him sing you'll know what I mean. If you haven't then you've missed out. I can't recommend this album highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring Collection, 20 Jan 2005

By	Mark Smith "rich123" (UK) - See all my reviews

This man's voice is inspiring, I have never listened to music that has had such an emotional effect on me as this. The first time I listed to this cd and heard Annie's Song (which I have learnt he wrote about his first wife), I literally stopped what I was doing just to listen. I love it.
