I worked for John Denver for many years and also became long time friends with his lead guitarist. Sadly they're both gone but the great memories remain. Thanks for this great rendition of his classic song.

I miss John Denver and his great band too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This next generation helps to keep his memory alive. 😊

I went and married a West Virginian some 25 years ago. My wife and I have traveled pretty extensively through Europe and made many new friends in pubs. Whenever anyone in any country hears she is from West Virginia - they immediately start singing this song. We've heard it in probably 7 different languages too! It is amazing to us that such a humble song about a humble place could be so embraced worldwide. You've done a beautiful job capturing it and presenting it as your own. Well done, Ms. Sara!

Not many people are not that well-read/around educated to know the reason why there is a Virginia- and a West Virginia though.🤔A simple answer is the U.S. civil war. Greetings from Stockholm, Kingdom of Swden!

@@17461771 Yes, the counties that became West Virginia could not form a new State without the consent of the existing State. They wanted to form a new State even before the war, but couldn't. So it took the secession of Virginia from the United States to pave the way for those counties to form the new State.

A gift to the world...John Denver. RIP

Glad this showed up just now, never heard of her until now ! Greetings from UK

While working in Dutch Harbor AK in 2009. I was singing "Take me Home" Karaoke at the local bar: UniSea Bar. Thru the first verse, I heard a voice that said: "Sir, I am from West Virginia, can I sing this song with you?" There he was, this young Coast Guard recruit docked in Dutch Harbor, AK. I replied: Get a Mic...… and, so He did.... That made my day... I loved John Denver growing up. He is one of the reasons I started to play guitar, and to write songs in my youth. He has been a big mentor in my music career. Being so far away from home. This song brought me home every time. Still now, when I sing this song in any bar, the whole bar sing in one voice. Is like, we all want to go home...… Sara did a great rendition of this song...…Love her voice, and the way she placed the song...…excellent! I think John would approved.

I saw that game!

This is a long story, I'll shorten it, so please no comments on grammar. 30+ yrs ago somewhere in east Thailand. 16 guys from 10 different countries. Every evening same bar hangout. Come closing time the waitress would put country roads in the tapedeck, turn volume to max, and we would sing our adopted national anthem top of our lungs. End of our time there, we said we'd meet same bar 350 days later. Internet and email did not exist of course. So 350 days later I went alone into same bar at 1400 hrs. Same girl there said nothing at first but played country roads. Thought it was coincidence. I told her I was there the year before. "Yeah, I know. You're the coca cola on the rocks guy. This your national song. Your friends coming too?" By 1800 hrs 15 guys made it.

Hi, I'm from Denmark which ain't a typical country music country either. But when I was a kid, there were one weekly program called "the country express" with an intro of an old steam train. My father loved it, and I remember how to sit in the kitchen listen to the music on the transistor radio 50 something yrs ago. Dad is long gone, but my iove for country music stayed, and even transferred to my kids. Perhaps something about being a redneck living in rural areas kind of thing....
