Format: Box set

Release Date: 25-11-1997

Details: Amazon.ca Massive and impressively comprehensive, the Country Roads Box Collection is classic John Denver. Spanning four discs, the collection not only draws upon the obvious highlights of Denver's career, but also includes fan favorites that might not have received the same airplay as their more popular counterparts. Listening to Country Roads, the finesse with which Denver balanced his folk rock tendencies with his country leanings emerges as testament to his talent. As a box set, the collection would be delivered if it didn't include "Leaving on a Jet Plane", "Annie's Song", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", or "Rocky Mountain High"--and, of course, the box set's namesake is here. Later hits like "Calypso", with its sea-shanty yodelling, portray Denver's ability to ease himself into the role of balladeer, regardless of the genre. Novelty duets with Placido Domingo and Emmylou Harris were intended to rekindle what seemed to be lagging popularity, but Country Roads establishes John Denver's contributions as timeless, nonetheless. --Steve Gdula Product description Brand New
