5.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting and Different Side Of The "Colorado Kid", April 27, 2002

I have always enjoyed this album because it shows a bit different side of John Denver's most considerable talents. Unlike most of his other albums, most of the songs included here are written by others, so he is left to interpret other's lyrics, which he does memorably here. Of course, I do admit that I would find a version of him singing just about anything pleasureable listening, it is no exaggeration to say that he brings a very unique style to each of these songs, some of which he made famous. Of course, this title cut was a hit for John, as was "Till You Opened My Eyes". But my own personal favorite here is "The Boy From The Country" written by Mchael Martin Murphey (of "Wildfire" fame)and performed perfectly by John. The lyrics illustrate what a difference in consciousness is involved in living in concert with thenatural world, and in recognizing the wisdom of the natural world. Listen to the song and I think you will begin to understand. Like the boy from the country, John was often misunderstood, and it is too bad we never appreciated what a diamond we had in hand while he was with us. At least his music remains. This is a great album. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars very good even if it was forced, February 4, 2000

This is one of many John Denver albums I grew up listening to. It wasn't until I bought the Country Roads Collection that I found he didn't want to do this, although I should have considering he only wrote two of these songs. Those two songs, "Sleepin' Alone" and "Country Love" are good, not the most memorable of his recordings though. "Some Days Are Diamonds," "The Cowboy and The Lady," and "Boy From The Country" are my favorite songs on this album. If he didn't like those he wouldn't have performed them live, which he did when I had the opportunity to see him twice. The rest of the tracks are good as well. The only track I really don't care for is "On Easy Street," as even that sounds too forced for me. But don't let that deter you. This is a very good album.

For someone who didn't want to do this album, from what I have read in other reviews. John did a fantastic job. My favorites on this CD are Some days are diamonds, Sleepin alone and Till you opened my eyes. This whole CD is great. I'd recommend it to all JD fans.
