A Music Fan from Mullingar, Ireland

An incredible collection of songs that truely touch the heart. John was an incredible songsmith who composed many beautiful songs none better than what he penned on this CD. Classic !!!

GOOD!

"All this Joy" and "Alaska and Me" are the best tracks. I liked this album because of the pure and innocent joy many of the songs represented. I still have the LP but have not played it for awhile because I haven't had a working turntable for over ten years. John had a way to make people feel connected after listening to his songs, a rare talent indeed, in this day and age of fragmentation in society.

This Album Is An Inside Look At A More Mature John Denver

I recently purchased this CD and have played it endlessly. I have been a John Denver fan since his career began. With the exception of It's About Time , I have always enjoyed John's music.
At one point, later in his life , John commented on how he was just learning how to sing . The songs about the mountains and the ocean have always been John's signature . Other than Annie's Song , little is said about John's songs about life and love .
This album is a complete expression of John's psyche . With John's marriage ending , the death of his father, and the decline of his ability to top the charts, he is definately reaching deep into his soul . Perhaps Love ( without Pavoratti ), Seasons of the Heart , and Relatively Speaking are three of my favorites . Opposite Tables is John experimenting with a new sound . I have not been too pleased with John's experiments with different sounds, but John hit the mark with this album .
Anybody who says that John Denver was just a fad , or that he was not a serious artist with real talent , should listen to this album with an open mind . Probably his best studio album ever .
