Take Me Home Country Roads is Denver's only Top 10 Hit as a solo artist after having worked with small folk groups. The song was written in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff initially wrote the song with Johnny Cash's music with a focus on Johnny Cash, however Denver knew from the first time he heard earlier versions that it was going to be an instant hit. The song was performed in Washington D.C. to a huge crowd, the singer made a recording a few days from now.
