John Denver - Essential - Music & Performance - CD

John Denver's timeless songs literally echoed around the world as he blossomed into one of the biggest pop stars of the 1970s alongside such as Neil Diamond, James Taylor and Barbara Streisand. Denver's monumental lifetime sales, now in the tens of millions, are evidence of John's song writing mastery. Hits including "Leaving, on a Jet Plane", "Annie's Song" and "Take Me Home Country Roads" have become anthems for an entire generation. THE ESSENTIAL JOHN DENVER 2-CD set captures the essence of this compassionate, warmhearted singer/songwriter making it the perfect collection for the new and endeavoring Denver fan.

There is no shortage of excellent John Denver compilations, and RCA Legacy's two-disc Essential John Denver collection doesn't disappoint. All of the hits are here ("Rocky Mountain High," "Calypso," "Back Home Again," "Annie's Song," "Perhaps Love" etc.), and the sequencing is linear and concise. Fans looking for a more diminutive yet equally satisfying overview should check out 2005's Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits, but for the discerning listener looking to capture the full scope of the late country-pop great, this rich slab of history will more than suffice. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
