Description

Amazon.com

John Denver could never smirk. It wasn''t in him. And while looking back from the perspective of the jaded, cynical ''90s makes Denver seem even more anachronistic, it must be admitted that he always told the truth as he saw it, no matter how awkward and painful such truths might seem. By the time of 1974''s Back Home Again, Denver had written the bulk of what would be his canon. Here he delivers "Thank God I''m a Country Boy" and his earnest, cornpone imagery ensures that to most he is never taken seriously again. Denver''s knack for melody, however, never abandons him and tracks like "This Old Guitar" and "Sweet Surrender" benefit from his gentle ear, no matter how simplistic his sentiments. --Rob O''Connor

See more This album was released when John was at the apex of his popularity, and the songs on this album served to propel him firmly into the stratosphere. From the comical "Thank God I''m A Country Boy'' to the incredible smash hit "Annie''s Song", John Denver showcases his incredible talents here. Denver almost single-handedly began the outdoor backpacking, hiking, and orienteering movements by popularizing the idea of nature as an important element in modern life, and more than a few of the young babyboomers, like John, were more than ready for the kind of unconventional intimacy with nature he sang about so effortlessly and so elegantly. From "Sweet Surrender" to "This Old Guitar''", Denver''s songs soar in their description of the beauties of a simple and natural life and in being close to the "great wide-open''.

Denver also does an unusually good cover of "Grandma''s Feather Bed", written by a friend by usually identified with Denver himself. Indeed, the simple and well arranged acoustic blast of infectious energy and sweet simplicity that was John Denver is here in spades, whether it be in original songs like "Matthew" or with covers of others'' work, the kid who had adopted the majesty of Colorado for his setting and his inspiration sings simply, sentimentally, and superbly about the simple pleasures and undying verities of a homespun and simple life well lived. My special favorite here is "Back Home Again", and I always wondered why it (and also "Matthew") wasn''t a bigger hit for John. Hearing John sing in his youthful enthusiasm about what turns him on is still a rare treat. This one has weathered the years with all its energy and beauty intact. I love this album, and I think you will too. Enjoy. 49 people found this helpful Helpful Report Craig Steven Phillips, Author of Living in the Flow: Reminders for a Supremely Happy Life4.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Thankyou for the Remastering........

See more Finally we have one of John Denver''s best albums remastered and sounding fantastic! Although this album came at the height of John''s success, it was never one of my favorites. That goes to "Rocky Mountain High", "Farewell Andromeda" and "I Want to Live", which I''m hoping will all be remastered soon. After hearing this freshly remastered version though, I must say that this is one of John''s finer efforts. Although a bit to much country seeps into some of the song''s there are many gems to be found. Standout tracks include "Eclipse", "Cool an Green an Shady", and "Matthew". I can remember seeing John perform the songs on this album at the Forum in L.A. on his 74 U.S. tour and the memory is something I will always treasure. If you''r a fan then by all means buy this newly remastered CD and enjoy John''s music sounding better than it did way back in 74. If you''r a casual fan then buy the newly remastered "Greatest Hits" and this one together. 7 people found this helpful Helpful Report Dulene C.5.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase I love John Denver Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2010 Perhaps I''m a bit biased, since I have listened to and loved John Denver songs since the early 70''s, but I love this album.

See more Perhaps I''m a bit biased, since I have listened to and loved John Denver songs since the early 70''s, but I love this album. I originally bought it as a vinyl record, and finally decided to upgrade to CD. Denver''s songs are tailor-made for the person who wants to sit back and think about all that is beautiful and just enjoy music; if you''re looking for head-banging anger and rage, Denver is not the artist for you. If you like the idea of country music with a touch of liberal love and peace, then this is the album for you. Also, there is more to this album than just the songs that made the Top 40; the other songs are just as beautiful...Of course, "Annie''s Song" is my favorite. 6 people found this helpful Helpful Report kone5.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase John Denver In His Prime Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2003 This was my first John Denver album, and after listening to it, I became a JD fan for life.

See more This was my first John Denver album, and after listening to it, I became a JD fan for life. The title track "Back Home Again", strikes a musical chord to the listener who longs for the simple good and satisfying things in life, like a fire softly burning, the smell of supper on the stove, and feeling the baby kick for the first time. The solo track "Back Home Again" was a top 10 hit for Denver back in the mid-seventies, but there are other soul-warming songs as well. The album is a good package and it will satisfy and calm your soul. It is a must for any John Denver fan. 17 people found this helpful Helpful Report Larry D.
