Take Me Home Country Roads, co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief time in folk groups and was his debut Top 10 solo hit. Danoff had originally written the tune using Johnny Cash's songs in mind, but Denver was aware from the very first time he heard first versions of the song that it would be a big success.
