Through my travels, I've met individuals who are from New Zealand or the other side. When you tell them you're from Colorado the first words they'll use are"Oh John Denver. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 hits after performing with smaller folk groups. It was co-written by and produced by Bill Danoff. Danoff was credited with Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the tune, however Denver realized that it could turn into a hit once he heard an earlier version. The track was released just several weeks after the Washington D.C. performance.
