John Denver's breakthrough album, 1971's POEMS, PRAYERS AND PROMISES, is also one of his best. In addition to containing two of Denver's strongest and best-known compositions, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders," POEMS, PRAYERS AND PROMISES epitomizes the straightforward folk of the artist's early recordings, without the country and pop influences that would find their way into his later '70s work. The disc has a close, intimate feel, with Denver's softly finger-picked guitar and clear, plaintive tenor front and center throughout.

The reflective lyrics and pensive mood of the title track sets the tone for the rest of the record. Though Denver includes a few covers, the Beatles' "Let It Be" and James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" among them, he is at his best with own tunes, like the wistful "I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado," or the unabashedly romantic and tender "My Sweet Lady." Denver's ability to express simple, sincere sentiments is in top form on this recording, making it one of his most directly affecting efforts.

Personnel: John Denver (vocals, guitar); John Denver; William Danoff, Taffy Nivert (vocals); Mike Taylor (guitar); Eric Weissberg (steel guitar, banjo); Frank Owens (piano); Gary Chester (drums).

Audio Remasterer: Ray Hall.

Rolling Stone (9/16/71, p.43) - "...a very solid good-timey singer who is at least talented enough to be forgiven for a few of his trespasses..."

5 stars Excellent
Beautiful because of it's simplicity, yet poignant because of the times. A time when our dreams were reachable;not silly. I enjoyed this 35 yrs ago and I still enjoy it today.

5 stars relevant after almost 30 years
i remember listening to this on vinyl when it first came out....after purchasing it as a remastered cd, it brings back the same wonderful feelings it did when i first listened...this is still one of his best recordings...fresh, filled warmth and compassion...the quality of the recording is still remarkable with extraordinary vocal harmonies....the cover of james taylor's "fire and rain" is done with care and only someone of denver's abilities could or should cover taylor's classic song..he also does an excellent cover of the beatle's "let it be"..giving it luster and sweetness...the song "gospel changes" still fills me with with bittersweet feelings, particularly now that john is gone...the reverence and haunting harmonies are a testament to john's talent....all i can say is amen for this recording.

Doom Crew, a 3 man band/group made up of Guitarist/beat maker-S Man and Rappers-MC Marc & D.

Nasty, began in early October of 2004. They set out wanting to make different music from what they heard everyday. The first song was a Rap/Rock mixture called, "The Brand New" from their first album "Shadow". D.

Nasty would make the drum tracks and S Man & original member Mattson would play guitar over them. Then MC Marc, D.

Nasty & original member DSlicK would Rap. The entire album became a Rap/Rock mixture with 16 tracks finished in March of 2005.

Then in May of 2005, they released a 5 song EP called, "Doomology". The big difference in this album was that it was completely produced by S Man and there was only one song with guitar. There we're no features on the EP except for a verse by DSlicK.

Doom Crew helped produce and featured on their friend NeXXGeN's 3rd album, "Wrote Dis On Da Bus" in late September 2005. S Man produced ...
