Story telling at its finest. The beauty of this song is that all of the tribute covers I have listened to remain true to the spirit of the original. The arrangements differ, but the longing expressed, for the place you belong, come through loud and clear. It is no surprise that all these artists choose to cover John Denver’s work. When his music first came out, the melodies and heartfelt lyrics struck a chord with a wide swath of divergent people. His way of using lyrics to transport you through verbal imagery to a place of home, whether that place be a location or a person, were without parallel. He immersed all your senses in the experience, sight, smell, touch, and hearing, carried along with a melody that enhanced the emotions expressed, from pathos and regret to joy and wonder. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to the original and never grew tired of it. With the blend of Peter’s smooth and Adam’s whiskey voice textures, they achieved a unique depth of sound for this song. Adam’s texture reminds me in many ways of a young Kenny Rogers, and Peter Hollens seems to be able to sing with anyone and make it work. I could listen to the covers I have checked out and feel that they do John Denver proud.

It is interesting to hear different takes on the same song! Peter and Chance recorded a great cover together! This one had more of a Country Music sound than the Home Free version. Home Free’s cover was a little more Contemporary Country, but I still love it very much! Peter’s voice is so amazing, and Chance’s voice was a great match to Peter’s! Love Chance’s voice with that airy and raspy quality, and that rapid vibrato that he has at times.

I love your line about them running out of roads. 😄 So many great versions of this song - I think you're very right to make the distinction being saying which is best, and having a favourite. Great to hear Peter and Chance singing together - as Peter said, they were on the same season of the Sing-Off, season 2, and unless it was very different from season 4, all the participants became good friends during the filming. Chance had driven up to Oregon from Los Angeles to stay with Riley and McKenzie (Hound + Fox) because Riley is producing his solo work, so I guess he dropped in on Peter (who also lives in Oregon) along the way.

Okay I know that you didn't want to say which version was better but I will! 😂😂 1. Home Free 2. Peter Hollins and Adam Chance 3. Geoff Castalucci (sp?) Home Free and PH & AC gives you the "Feels", makes you Emotional, whereas I didn't get that with Geoff's Version! I Love all of these guys (Home Free, Peter Hollins, Chance, Geoff Castalucci) and the rest of the VoicePlay Guys but I found that Geoff's Bass Drops didn't work for me everytime he did them in his Version! A couple of them were PERFECT IMO! All 3 Versions were enjoyable still! 😊😁
