If you inform them you're from Colorado the first words they say are"Oh John Denver. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads was Denver's first Top 10 Hit as a Solo Artist after working within small Folk Music groups. The track was written with Bill Danoff. Danoff wrote the song along with Johnny Cash in mind but after Denver saw an early rendition he knew right away the song could be an instant hit.
