Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed John Denver’s “The Very Best Of” album, it would probably go something like this:

John Denver – The Very Best Of

5.8

John Denver, the man who made us all want to take to the skies and breathe in that fresh mountain air, is back with a compilation of his greatest hits. But does this collection truly capture the essence of Denver’s unique charm and timeless appeal?

The album kicks off with Denver’s iconic anthem “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” instantly transporting listeners to a simpler time when denim flares and tie-dye were all the rage. From there, we journey through Denver’s discography, revisiting classics like “Annie’s Song” and “Sunshine on My Shoulders.”

While Denver’s soothing voice and heartfelt lyrics are undeniably captivating, there are moments where the album veers into cheesy territory. Tracks like “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” and “Rocky Mountain High” may induce involuntary eye-rolls from even the most die-hard Denver fans.

Despite its occasional corniness, “The Very Best Of” is a solid reminder of why John Denver remains a beloved figure in the world of folk and country music. So, grab your flannel shirt and cowboy hat, and prepare to take a trip down memory lane with this collection of Denver’s greatest hits.

About the artist

John Denver

John Denver: The Eco-Friendly Crooner John Denver, the bespectacled folk singer who brought us classics like "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and "Annie's Song," may seem like your typical wholesome 70s musician. But delve a little deeper into his discography and you'll find an artist with surprising depth and complexity. With his earnest lyrics and warm, crystal-clear voice, Denver effortlessly straddled the line between commercial success and artistic integrity. His music was a breath of fresh mountain air in a world filled with electric guitars and synthesizers. But Denver's impact went beyond the charts. A passionate environmentalist, he used his platform to raise awareness about conservation issues long before it was trendy. In fact, he was so committed to the cause that he once said he would give up his music career for the environment if he had to. Despite his down-to-earth persona, Denver had a rebellious streak that endeared him to fans and critics alike. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind or challenge the status quo, even if it meant ruffling a few feathers in the process. So, whether you're a die-hard Denver fan or a casual listener looking for a new jam, take a trip down memory lane with John Denver. His music may be as timeless as the mountains he sang about, but his message of love, peace, and harmony is more relevant today than ever.
