5.0 out of 5 stars My absolute favorite John Denver album., August 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit (Audio CD)

I have been a huge supporter of John Denver and his music since I was 10 years old (28 years ago). I own all but his very first album, and "Spirit" is by far my absolute favorite. Someone else wrote about the last track, "The Wings That Fly Us Home", and I agree wholeheartedly. The whole album is good, very good, but this one song is exceptional. Words cannot describe the feeling I get whenever I hear it. I can almost feel my own spirit wanting to take flight with the music. When music brings tears to your eyes, that says something and this one did it long before John died. This is John Denver at his best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great album, wish John could see this., September 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit (Audio CD)

The Spirit CD is one of the best, and by adding the songs from Whose Garden Was This only makes it better. The 12th cut The Wings That Fly Us Home brings back memories as it was played at John's funeral. Joe Henry wrote the words and is a beautiful piece of music. The songs from Whose Garden Was This, an early 70s album, hold very true to what John believed and lived for. This is a very FAR OUT CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 1970s Classic, March 5, 2001

This album was a good follow up to "Windsong" and there are some great songs here. I do give it 5 stars but I was not happy with what RCA/BMG did with this CD by putting half of the album "Whose Garden Was This" on it. Having said that, I will concentrate on the music on this CD. The song "The Wings That Fly Us Home" is one of the best songs John ever did. Back in 1984, as a new fan, I saw him in concert and heard the song for the first time and I was amazed at this masterpiece. It has become one of my all time favorites. "Like A Sad Song" is a great example of John doing what he did best...singing ballads. "Pegasus" and "In The Grand Way" are also good songs, but "Wrangle Mountain Song" is classic JD. If you're a big fan of John Denver's music then, by all means you'll need to have this one too.
