Unless you count the self-released "John Denver Sings" from 1966, this is his first album from a real label (RCA, who he would stick with until the mid-80s). For a debut album there are a couple of classics on here that would go on to be some of his most enduring (though perhaps not best when sung by Ben Affleck and the rest of the Armageddon cast) with virtually every karaoke night across the world getting in at least one each night.

The lyrics themselves are very dense, and come across more like short stories with a lot of thought put into them instead of production line "oh baby, yeah yeah". I can't imagine many modern pop singers having the ability to remember all of these, so even if JD is not your thing, you have to admit he was very talented. The stories/songs are paint a very cozy folk picture of more innocent times and the entire album is perfect listening for quiet nights in.
