Reminds you of all the best that life has to offer..Nov 02, 1999

This was John Denver at his best, all his greatest hits and then some... This is a absolute buy for anyone who loved John Denver or for anyone who enjoys good heartfelt music. Brings back all the memories of better days gone by.. when life was a little simpler.

If you play guitar, don't bother.Oct 24, 2006
By L. Lave
If you play guitar, don't bother with this book. This is a piano book with some guitar chords thrown in. I've played guitar for more than 30 years (also play mandolin) and I am quite disappointed. The beautiful open chord intro to Eagle and the Hawk is missing, the 12-string guitar intro to Rhymes and Reasons is NOT there, and the key for Take Me Home, Country Roads is not original. Compare it to any "guitar" book and you'll see what I mean.

Piano players will most likely enjoy it, but then John didn't play these songs with a piano. I'll be looking for a better book.

Version IISep 16, 2005
By James T. Kirk
This is the second book with the title "Anthology". It includes some of the songs from the first version, but when reissued, it was updated with some of John's later works. There were some very good songs from the first edition that were left out; but for those of us who admired John's work, there really aren't any BAD JD songs.

Regardless of your playing ability, you'll find most everything you need to play John's songs pretty faithfully to the original recordings. In fact, with the help of this book, and recordings of the songs, you should be able to actually improve your ability if you're a beginner. For those of you who are more advanced, you'll be able to jump right in there and go to town. It includes capo positions, and special tuning notes that are accurate to John's style, and easy enough for a novice player to follow.

If you're a fan of John's at all, this book is something you should have. Enjoy!

Likely all the Denver you'll ever needSep 16, 2007
By Loren Hall
This is the complete works, except for a few songs that may be your personal favorites. Organized almost alphabetically. Decent range of difficulty across the songs, but most should be manageable by intermediate piano players. Also contains a couple of pages with John's thoughts about his favorite songs.
