Description
Greatest hits collection on vinyl LP
The collection includes material from John Denver's earlier days as a songwriter (going back to 1965 on "For Bobbie") to his later hit "Rocky Mountain High." Indeed many of these tracks were not hits per se, but as Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for AllMusic, "these were (the) songs that defined him."
Moreover, Greatest Hits is important historically because it contains new, revisionist recordings of several songs. Notable new versions include "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Starwood in Aspen," "Follow Me," "Rhymes and Reasons," "The Eagle and the Hawk," "Sunshine On My Shoulders" and "Poems, Prayers, and Promises."
