Additional Country Roads Collection Information
|
Massive and impressively comprehensive, the Country Roads Box Collection is classic John Denver. Spanning four discs, the collection not only draws upon the obvious highlights of Denver's career, but also includes fan favorites that might not have received the same airplay as their more popular counterparts. Listening to Country Roads, the finesse with which Denver balanced his folk rock tendencies with his country leanings emerges as testament to his talent. As a box set, the collection would be remiss if it didn't include "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Annie's Song," "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," or "Rocky Mountain High"--and, of course, the box set's namesake is here. Later hits like "Calypso," with its sea-shanty yodeling, portray Denver's ability to ease himself into the role of balladeer, regardless of the genre. Novelty duets with Placido Domingo and Emmylou Harris were intended to rekindle what seemed to be lagging popularity, but Country Roads establishes John Denver's contributions as timeless, nonetheless. --Steve Gdula

What Customers Say About Country Roads Collection:

Too bad it wasn't 'remixed' for the price. A great collection of John's varied writings. The sound mix was 80's and sounded like it.
Even though the radio stations began ignoring his new music after 83, good songs kept coming, even beyond the scope of this collection. Amazing to learn that RCA actually rejected his Perhaps Love album of 82 for not being country enough. Denver's music recorded between 88 and 91 is just as good and well worth buying. great set of music from one of America's greatest troubadors. He was a dedicated crossover artist who refused to be pigeonholed into the safe conformity of country music.
Also came with pictures and information about John Denver and how many of the songs came to be. Good listening and sing along songs. 5+ Star - would recommend to anyone who loves his music. Always love John Denver's music. This collection is wonderful it spands several decades of his music.
Looking back through these reviews I see I'm not the only one to notice this. As soon as I started playing the first disc I thought to myself "something sounds different from what I remembered". Buy his "John Denver's Greatest Hits" rather than this collection. Very disappointed. I took out my old cassette tapes of his Greatest Hits album and compared each song. Sure enough, the instrumentals from the greatest hits album were much fuller sounding.
John Denver's songs are lovely. Country Roads CollectionWe listen to these CDs nearly every evening. They are a relaxing way to end the day.
