Comments for Denver, John, John Denver

Though it never spawned a hit single (that was becoming an all - too - evident fact to Denver at that time, that he was losing his audience), Denver''s 1979 self - titled release stands out as one of his best, if not his best. Though some fans may argue its simplistic and occasionally inane lyrics, this is a treat for anyone who ever wanted to hear John Denver rock ("Downhill Stuff", "Johnny B. Goode"), even though it''s kind of fluffy. Still, James Burton''s guitar licks are as good as they were when he worked with Rick Nelson.
