5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, July 9, 2001

This review is from: Calypso (Audio CD)

While I knew John Denver's music when he was a rising star, I didn't come to really get into his music until the last year. Over the past year I've become obsessed with collecting as much of his music as possible and I now can speak with some authority about those CDs I like and those I don't like so much. This is one of my favorites.

From the soul-stirring title song through the reprise of "Flower that Shattered the Stone," in duet with the "Japanese John Denver," which moves me to tears every time I hear it, each song in this album is a treasure. I first heard "Potter's Wheel" on this collection and it has to be one of my top 10 of Denver's songs. "Postcard from Paris" is the love letter that any traveler would send home to the one s/he left behind. "Sing Australia" is wonderful for anybody who feels any connection to that country. "Alaska and Me" is kind of a variation of Calypso, and isn't as strong as some of the others.

But really there isn't a weak song on this CD and when I load up the CD player in the car, out of the 17 Denver CDs that I currently own, you can bet that this is one of the ones that gets loaded just about every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a musical hug..., November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Calypso (Audio CD)

When I listen to John, I feel myself wrapped in his warm embrace. Sometimes we slow dance, sometimes we spin all around the room, sometimes we just stand there, contemplating the message. But always, it's enjoyable...his music feeds my spirit. This collection will feed yours.
