List All 6 Reviews His Best Early Work!
Like most artists, the most endearing
and sublime of his works are often the
least known. The exquisite poetry and
imagery of "Windsong" have made it my
personal favorite of all of his albums.
Any one who has not heard this one is
seriously missing out!

Very, very well-crafted
Here, you can see all of the elements that made up John Denver's career: the intimate folk singer/songwriter; the lonely cowboy on the range; the slick, adult contemporary entertainer; the whimsical, child-like balladeer; and more. Each song on this album is very, very well-crafted, with the obvious standout "Calypso" being the strongest song on here. There are other strong songs here, but "Calypso" just takes the cake, and was the epitome of John's commercially artistic success. There is no way that I can imagine anybody else other than John doing these songs; there just is no other voice that could do what he did on "Calypso". This is a good album to start with, if you want to start buying John's albums, because this is a blend of everything he was and everything he became. Definitely a masterpiece on John's part.

Just great to sing along to.
Had the honor to see him in concert. He will always be one of my favorited artists.
Still missed.

Classic!
This album contains some of the finest works he ever did. The songs sound as wonderful today as they did in the 1970's.

Beautiful!!!
Can you capture the wind?? Can you tell about it if you did?? John Denver did and did it very, very well. Calypso is it's highlight!! Riding the horse on the ocean beach put the cherry on top of the album!!!
