Artist: John Denver
Album: John Denver’s Greatest Hits
John Denver shouldn’t be considered your dad’s roadtrip music. It should be, and given a chance, will be your summer roadtrip music. Denver’s music centres around the love of nature, the joy of music, and the highs and lows of relationships. John Denver was one of the most beloved American singer songwriters of the twentieth century, and his greatest hits are an absolute must for any road trip that weaves through mountainous, arid, or deciduous landscapes
At the age of 53, Denver, an avid pilot, flew off in his personal aircraft and crashed in a single-fatality accident. Given Denver’s open contemplation of mortality, and his love of nature, some fans have speculated that Denver had received bad news regarding his health, and had decided to fly off into the sun.
