Denver's 1971 Hit "Take Me Home Country Roads" is one of his most recognizable. It is a standout track from the LP Poems, Prayers, and Promises.
According to Country Living, "neither Denver nor his co-writers Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert had ever actually set foot in the Mountain State when the song was written. In fact, the winding road that inspired 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' was really a two-lane stretch in Gaithersburg, Maryland."
Danoff told Country Living that the tune, "sounded to [him] like a hit song when [they] were writing it: The words were pretty; the chorus was nice; it felt good to sing."
"Almost heaven, West VirginiaBlue ridge mountains, Shenandoah riverLife is old there, older than the treesYounger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze"
"Take Me Home Country Roads" ultimately became the official song of West Virginia in 2014. The beloved folk song has reportedly been covered more than 150 times and has also been recorded in 19 languages.
John Denver died in 1997 when his airplane crashed into Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove, California. He was 53.
