Our Take

Ah, LEE HOLDRIDGE Conducts The Music Of John Denver, where do we even begin? The man, the myth, the legend John Denver gets a symphonic update by the skilled hands of maestro Lee Holdridge.

From the opening notes of "Take Me Home, Country Roads," Holdridge's orchestral arrangements take Denver's classic tunes to new heights, turning them into grandiose cinematic masterpieces. The lush strings, triumphant brass, and delicate woodwinds breathe new life into old favourites like "Annie's Song" and "Sunshine On My Shoulders," making them feel fresh and relevant once again.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Holdridge takes some bold creative liberties with Denver's beloved tracks, adding unexpected twists and turns that may divide fans. Purists may scoff at the unconventional reimagining of "Rocky Mountain High," while others may embrace the bold new direction.

Overall, LEE HOLDRIDGE Conducts The Music Of John Denver is a delightful and whimsical journey that pays tribute to one of folk music's greatest icons. So grab your binoculars, hop in your vintage Volkswagen camper van, and let Holdridge's enchanting arrangements transport you to the hills of West Virginia and the valleys of Colorado. John Denver would be proud.
