Through my travels, I've met individuals from New Zealand or the other side. If you inform people you're from Colorado, the first words they say are Oh John Denver. Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads is the only Denver Top 10 Hit as a solo artist after having worked with small folk groups. The song was written in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff used Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the song, but Denver realized that it could turn into a hit once he heard an earlier version. A few days after performing to an excited audience in Washington D.C., the performer recorded the track.
