    I'm a relatively new fan of John Denver - discovered him last year by watching a documentary about his life on public television. I love most of the songs on this 2-CD set (could do w/o the Cowboy/Lady song and a few others that are not to my taste). But I have viewed video clips online and especially lament that "This Old Guitar" is NOT in this collection! That song is really beautiful, heartfelt and moving. He himself describes it as his autobiography in a just under 2 minutes - words to that effect -- and when he sings it, you feel how meaningful it is to him. Surely it is "Essential" John Denver – a song he performed frequently at his concerts, and I am baffled that the producers of this set opted to leave it out of this collection. (I also recently purchased the DVD of the Wildlife Concert and feel cheated that "This Old Guitar" was chopped out, even though John Denver apparently DID perform this song at that concert -- it is included in the 2-disc CD version of the concert, which I don't have. What are/were the producers thinking?)

    2.0 out of 5 stars Poor packing, hard plastic cover was broken
    Reviewed in India on October 3, 2018
    Song collections and the recording is of no question, absolute beauty. But hard plastic cover was broken in delivery, cheap packing. 2 stars for packing not for the collection of songs in it, there is no question about the songs which are included. CD1 is my pick of the best, i have those songs in my Vinyl as well but that quality beats the CD. I bought this CD just as a back up for my VINYL and i prefer hearing it in that than the CD.

    Tutti i brani musicali, inseriti in quesato CD, sono splendidi da ascoltare, soprattutto per la bella e dolce voce di John Denver. La forte emozione che emerge dai suoi brani fa rabbrividire, Per me è l'icona del fascino musicale. Ascoltarlo è meraviglioso.
