Reader and friend Frances Sniatecki tagged me on Facebook yesterday with the most amazing video featuring a medley of country songs with Take Me Home Country Roads (Almost Heaven, West Virginia) leading it off.
Turns out this amazing song was recorded two years ago for the 50th anniversary of the Country Music Awards. Somehow I missed it. It brings tears to my eyes. Amazing performers, fabulous lyrics, and a reminder that I still miss John Denver.
Check it out for yourself! This video includes a neat “making of” element. Enjoy!
I’ve watched/listened to that video dozens of times since I “found it” by way of a facebook friend. I would have sworn John Denver was in the middle of it!! I love the mix of all kinds of country being represented.
Me too!
Country Roads is in with our sophomores this year. A fun fact.
If it’s been long enough for that song to cycle around again, I think that makes me OLD.
Nah—I’m going with “classic”
