On a recent RV trip across country I had the chance to drop in on my friend John Bacon in Missouri. He had a recording studio set up in his own RV and was gracious enough to allow me to play his beautiful 6-string Collings guitar for this video. John did a terrific job on all the production work for this classic tune. (And, yes, that’s me and my wife Tina pulling out of his driveway in the opening shot.)
“Take Me Home, Country Roads”, also known simply as “Country Roads”, is a song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver. It was released as a single performed by Denver on April 12, 1971, peaking at number two on Billboard’s US Hot 100 singles for the week ending August 28, 1971.
