This video was hidden from the world for 40 years! But we can’t deprive the people from the beauty of listening John Denver and Johnny Cash slaying this country classic. Take Me Home, Country Roads is one of the best songs we have ever heard so we will always adore John Denver for bestowing this gift upon us. Everybody loves Johnny Cash and his songs. So what do you get when you team up two country legends singing an even more legendary country song? One of the most amazing listening experiences of all time and that’s for sure. This rendition of Johnny Cash and John Denver singing “Country Roads” will definitely take you home.
Rare Video Uncovered of John Denver & Johnny Cash singing “Country Roads” Together
This is one of the best things about living in the information age because then we can all witness it. Every time they recover some rare, old footage of some legendary performances, we can listen and enjoy it. It will be on YouTube with all the funny cats, country pop team-ups and celebrities cleaning their houses.
Unfortunately both of our singers passed away, so they can’t repeat this amazing performance. John Denver is famous for “Annie’s Song”, “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” as well as the titular “Take Me Home, Country Roads”. Johnny Cash and his unmistakably recognizable voice sang songs such as “I Walk The Line”, “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Hurt”. Their duet is really, really good because you can notice Denver harmonizing with Cash instead of singing his melody. That is true musicianship and we love it.
The quality of the video and audio is not top notch because somebody found this as a VHS tape in their grandpa’s basement and decided to share it with the world. It was recorded in 1978 originally and kept hidden for 44 years until today. Wow! And aren’t we thankful for it?! Enjoy this gorgeous little performance and don’t forget to like, comment and share on your socials. Thank you.
