Thirty years ago,an unknown singer-songwriter by the name of John Denver,had his very first top 40 hit,"Take Me Home,Country Roads"-That initial hit paved the way for a string of hit albums,singles,& sold-out concerts around the world-Critics were quick to dismiss John's music as wimpy & devoid of meaning-Despite the negative press,he had a tremendous legion of fans from all corners of the planet-This collection features all the songs that made John famous,including four certified Billboard chart toppers "Sunshine On My Shoulders" (1974),"Annie's Song" (1974),"Thank God,I'm A Country Boy" (1975), & "I'm Sorry" (1975).John's final top 40 hit was "Shanghai Breezes" in 1982-Unfortunately,that song didn't make it onto this collection-In October 1997,John died in a plane crash off the coast of northern California-While his voice has been silenced,his music,however,will live on-Recommended for fans & for anyone who appreciates good music.
