Oliver Anthony Delivers a Great Version of the John Denver Classic

November 25, 2024

Oliver Anthony “Country Roads”

Oliver Anthony- who went mega-viral last year with his hit “Rich Men North of Richmond”- just dropped a cover of John Denver’s “Country Roads” and it’s pretty dang great.

I’ve always loved this song, and there are so many versions of it out there, but Oliver’s definitely stands out with it’s simplicity and authenticity:

Dang, son.

Now Oliver had announced recently that he has left the music industry to focus on ministry. He also said he would still be making music and outting it on his youtube channel.

Good. He really is one heck of a pure talent.

Lana Del Ray “Take Me Home, Country Roads”

I just stumbled upon a version of John Denver’s classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads” that Lana Del Ray just reimagined, and you know what? It’s pretty stellar.

Kind of hauntingly beautiful, isn’t it?

Being from the country myself, this song always resonated with me, and this is just an extra cool version that I am definitely adding to the playlist.

It turns out, Lana was inspired to record a version of this song after a recent tour to the Southern states and Appalachia.

I know there are some people who complain about covers and reimagined versions of songs, but I like hearing different voices on classics. I think Lana Del Ray nailed it on this one.
