Denver is a symbol of the state to people around the world. On my trips, I've met people who are from New Zealand or the other side. When you tell people you're from Colorado The first thing they'll use are Oh John Denver. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads - cowritten with Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo artist following a short time in small folk groups. Danoff wrote the tune inspired by Johnny Cash, but Denver discovered the song's early versions and was aware that the song would be an instant hit in the top 10. The song was first recorded several weeks after it was performed in Washington D.C. performance.
