Home Free A Cappella Cover Of John Denver's 'Take Me Home Country Roads'
A cappella group Home Free performs an incredible rendition of the John Denver classic ‘Take Me Home Country Roads.’ This classic song was written by Denver back in 1971. The entire tune is an ode to the state of West Virginia.
“Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze”
Almost everyone knows these nostalgic lyrics. The words paint a picture of a simpler time where back roads and Mama’s homemade dishes were all we needed. Nowadays, our world seems to always be in a hurry.
Everyone moves from one event to the next without taking time to pause and reflect on their surroundings. There’s something about open fields and dirt roads that allow us to stop and truly take in the beauty that God has created.
“Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads”
Today, the talented men of Home Free are taking on this classic and their rendition of ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ is absolutely phenomenal. Since their beginning on the show, The Sing Off, this group continues to make waves with their a cappella covers and stunning original songs.
This classic country tune is the perfect compliment to their unique vocals. It is so refreshing to listen to these lyrics and let them take you back to the ‘good old days.’ This is just the dose of nostalgia that I needed today.
