On my trips I've encountered individuals from New Zealand or the other side. If you inform people you're from Colorado, the first words they'll use are"Oh John Denver. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads written by co-writer Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo artist following a short time in small folk groups. Danoff originally wrote it to Johnny Cash's tune with a focus on Johnny Cash, however Denver knew from the first time he heard the early versions that the song could be a huge success. The song was recorded by the singer within a couple of days after performing it to an enthusiastic audience at Washington D.C.
