My favorite version of the John Denver classic. These guys are having fun, and making great music. John and Japanese folk legend Kosetsu harmonize on "Country Roads"

John's ability to modulate his voice and the resonance he creates when working with Kosetsu highlight his abilities as a vocalist.

Leading into the summer of 1970, there wasn't a bigger sound than the fuzz from Norman's multi-million selling "Spirit in the Sky".

Thanks for the post. I never heard that version.

Here are two of my favorite covers of "Country Roads" by Brother IZ and Toots & The Maytals

Re: "The Devil in Disguise"....Thanks Wild Bill...that was a REALLY nice rendition by both of them. A buddy of mine that was in business in Decatur, knew Leann's family and played me a demo tape she'd made. She was 12 years old at the time...about 6 months before "Blue" was released...an amazing voice!

I remember the first time I heard "Blue". I was blown away! She does have an amazing voice.

Love Brother Iz, tragic loss. Toots always reminds me of my honeymoon, the wife and I calling each other by our initials so the street hawkers wouldn't be able to use our names, lol, Jamaica!
