About JOHN DENVER
John Denver turned his love of nature and the American West into some of the most beloved folk-country anthems of the 1970s, with "Take Me Home, Country Roads" becoming an unofficial hymn for West Virginia despite being written by a guy from New Mexico. His earnest, acoustic-driven songs like "Annie's Song" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders" captured a simpler time when environmental consciousness and heartfelt storytelling could top the charts. Denver's wholesome image and soaring melodies made him a crossover star who could fill both country venues and pop radio until his tragic death in a plane crash in 1997.
