I learned to walk and talk, learned to read and write in the hills of West Virginia. My momma a coal miners daughter taught me how to pray in the hills of West Virginia. It will always be a special place to me.

One of my life's premier memories is driving through West Virginia in the summer of 1973. My 3 best friends were with me, and we harmonized to "Country Roads" as we drove. . . I could barely see the road for my tears at the beauty of blended voices and scenery.

Gday! I'm 72yrs young, a country boy from a little country town, Allora, in Australia. My son lived in Pittsburgh for a while and my wife and I visited him and his wife there in 2004. I borrowed their car and toured eight states and loved it, with the first one being West Virginia. Listening to the car radio while driving, we heard Bluegrass music for the first time and loved it straight up. Coincidentally, that first bluegrass music for us came from an Aussie radio station Hawkesbury Radio, broadcasting through one of the West Virginia radio stations, how good was that! While travelling in your great land, we avoided the freeways and the blacktop (a word we had to find the meaning of 😄) and took to the country roads which is what we do back here at home. So the Country Roads song hits the spot with me. One of my favourite bluegrass bands no longer plays, but now I've found you guys, you're now top of my list. Luv yas!

Strangers to Tennessee as well fell in love not only with West Virginia,but this southern culture too❤

I may be from Alabama, not West Virginia, but this song still rings true. Country roads always will take me home

When I moved to West Virginia nearly 18 years ago I knew I was home. I love my country roads and mountain streams. Well done you nailed it.

I moved to east Tennessee in2012 and in a very short time I felt that way to. Driving down the roads and having people waving or going to the store and having people talk like they have known you for years. They always want to help you if you need it😃😃. That is how I was raised. Wish more people would be that way. It would be a better world I feel.

I drove through West Virginia 10 years ago with my grandfather who is now dead. The first time we saw the sign West Virginia we were astounded by how beautiful it was a few minutes later going down into this valley. My grandfather started crying because he knew his time was coming soon.. I visited West Virginia for work a few months ago and it’s very spiritual. I asked my bartender at this hotel in West Virginia if she knows how beautiful it is and why other people don’t know about it and she said… We want to keep it that way. People talk crap about the state and their people and it’s completely unjustified. I’ve never met more genuine people in my life. What you see is what you get

I actually cried through this song because of the rain in the background and it reminds me of the country i lived in that I love so much?

Nostalgia..my daughter and I used to sing this song together years ago along with the original artist. Thank you so much for bringing a happy memory back to me ❤️.

I grew up in Elliott County...a little town tucked way back in the hollers and hills of Kentucky. Keith Whitley and Ricky Skaggs and so many others seemed to be part of most of our celebrations and grievings. The Petersen Family transports and transcends every genre and box many people have tried to squeeze bluegrass into intentionally and unwittingly. The musicality and talent and gifting of this group are beyond beautiful.

I love your harmony. Such a wonderful tone and blend of voices.

Wonderful song 🎶👍🎶 so good

what a great song!! the "history" of this song is interesting. Denver didn't write it, nor had he ever been to west (by GOD) Virginia. he was in the Washington DC area recuperating from an auto accident when he heard the song from the couple who wrote it. he bought it, sung it and as they say ,made it a hit. the husband and wife duo would go on to write several more songs for Denver through the rest of his career

This song is beautiful. We also have it in our repertoire and my singer who is crazy about this song.

Greetings from the UK and I see someone is going to have a baby!

I moved to Washington State from Virginia... I will probably never be able to go back, but every time I hear "Country Roads", I sit back and remember for a spell... Your rendition made my eyes leak a bit, but they were good tears... Thank you.

This best I've ever hear this played singing beautiful . You all have a fan in Ireland.

Brings back such wonderful memories. There was a group of young men and ladies that used to get together on Friday nights (after dates), and Sunday afternoons at an old country store to play and sing, just for the joy of playing and singing. That is where I cut me teeth on learning to play good rthym guitar and singing harmony. Now, we are older men and women, some have even passed on to heaven, and this song just flooded my spirit with great memories!!! Thank you!!!

What a talented group. More,please of them!

Nothing short of AWESOME! My discovery of Southern Raised was sheer luck but I keep coming back for more of your incredible talent!

Violinist absolutely killed it

I watch this vd every day and never get tired of it. Great musicians and great camera too. That rain drizzling on the house is the perfect backing, so melancholic. I feel transported to that place!...

Fifth generation Virginian/West Virginian here. I have gotten around in my life and once was discussing retirement with a good friend, a Texan, who ended up in New Mexico. We were probably in Denver. She didn’t miss a beat, but said I was a West Virginian and would never leave. Now retired I sit at about 3,000 feet in the Alleghenies of West Virginia about two hundred miles from where this song was written!
