The title of this collection by the Jesus of 1970s soft pop makes no bones about its intentions. Fortunately, it delivers what it promises in spades. DEFINITIVE ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS chronicles the hit-packed career of John Denver without missing a trick. From his earliest, most folk-oriented material ("Leaving on a Jet Plane," a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary) to his more country-flavored compositions ("Take Me Home, Country Roads," the stomp-along "Thank God I`m a Country Boy"), we`re given a full picture of Denver`s abilities. Early-`80s duets with Placido Domingo ("Perhaps Love") and Emmylou Harris ("Wild Montana Skies") underscore both the far-reaching ripples Denver made in the music world and the full range of his own gifts. Such gentle, melodic ballads as "Annie`s Song" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders" are the distilled essence of what made `70s AM radio tick, and will elicit instant nostalgia for the era when Denver`s brand of quiet, graceful songcraft reigned supreme. For the hardcore fan, a bonus disc includes previously unreleased versions of some of Denver`s classic tunes.

    Great

    This CD was a gift for my husband, and he really enjoys it. It includes John Denver's best songs. However, the bonus CD is just a repeat of some of these songs.
