"Country Roads" by John Denver cover by Reina del Cid
Subscribe: bit.ly/subRdC
We found ourselves on a truly idyllic east coast farm on tour, so figured we’d play one of the most beautiful songs ever written about the eastern US countryside - John Denver’s iconic “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
We are currently here quarantining after a couple of the members of our crew (not pictured here) caught COVID on the road. We did have to postpone our Philly, NYC, and Boston shows, but we are still planning on being able to do Montreal (Aug 2) and Toronto (Aug 3), and continue on the rest of the tour from there, provided none of the rest of us go down with the bug in the meantime.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more immediate updates, and hope to see some people out there at our shows!

Try "Stumbeling In" for real nice guitar action.!😘

Does anyone else get that warm tingly feeling listening to this?
yessssssssssssssssssss
This song has an interesting genesis. The tune was composed by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert while driving along Clopper Road in Maryland outside of Washington. DC. Back then it was a fairly rural road, but development has caught up to much of it today. The duo could not make words rhyme with Maryland, so they then tried Massachusetts where they were from, which also failed. They played it for their friend John Denver (before he was famous) who thought the song would be a hit, so he and Danoff and Nivert re-worked the words, finally settling on West Virginia in lieu of Maryland or Massachusetts. None of them had been to West Virginia nor knew much about it. Most of the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge mountains, for instance, are in Virginia. I drive on and by Clopper Road occasionally and think about its inspiring this famous song.
We sing it 'West-ern Virginia' ❤❤
Thank you 🙏🙂
Nice!
oh' you know alot.
Thank you. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Reina’s singing is always crystal clear and clean. Her singing always opens up a colorful story book when you relax and settle back
I have been all over the world and every where I have been i heard that song performed either by a band at a club , a busker on the street or at a karaoke bar .
John Denvers song “ Country Roads” belongs to the world.
This is perfection. The gentle sound of the 3 musicians - Reina, Nate, and Andrew - is ideal for Country Roads. The timing of the sunset, and Capt. Kevin’s video put me on the farm-house porch with you.
LOL!!!!
Sure !!
Cheers from France
J'adore très belle reprise je vous dis un grand bravo ça me rappelle ma jeunesse
Reina's voice is sounding better than ever!
Really? It really is quite ordinary with no power behind it.
@@lorenarios9461 Sometimes I'm in the mood for fancy baked Alaska and other times a simple slice of apple pie hits the spot.
I totally agree. so sweet.
Hasn’t it been pleasant hearing the evolution of her unique voice. What a privilege for us
Love it Reyna
2024 Country Roads, any friends still listening?❤
All the time
Here
Here❤
Here listening to this amazing version
Take me home 🎶
Beautiful rendition. I sang along and cried. It brings us together. One Nation under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The language of Love . MUSIC. I'm in Italy. Lets roll America.
This song never fails to make me cry, I don't know why. Brilliant, faithful rendition. I would say John Denver himself would have a smile on his face listening to that. Thank you.
yes
Happy Sunday morning coffee cheers! When I was a kid (57 years old now) I didn't consider myself cool because I liked Denver. But now I will dig out my old albums and spend the rest of the day on repeat. Great cover!
Denver, in my humble opinion, was one of the greates songwriters of our gen (going back a ways here). I love especially albums of his done live with an audience. He was so humble, so genuine. songs that ordinary people can relate to was what he did. and it's still important.
@@tomlederle1960 He was indeed genuine. You are right. What you saw, that was John. I met him...in fact sat with him at a table for an entire evening in Aspen Colorado. My friends there were selling their little soup & sandwich shop & Johns ex band mate John Summers was buying the shop for his wife. We went to a place called Jake's Alley - a pub in the basement beneath a restaurant there...John S was playing with his new band & we went to listen. Who shows up but John D & our host invited him to sit with us.
A life altering evening for me.
I think it's cool and I'm only a young juvenile 72 year old.
Decade older and at CU Boulder in early 70s he was the opposite of cool - largely because Rocky Mountain High infested "Our" mountains with wannabe hippie tourists from wherever. Even then I loved this song on the QT and I remember seeing Mary Travers at Tulagis where she let on one of my all time favorite songs Leaving On A Jet Plane had been written by him. He was a true icon to use an overused word that definitely applies to him.
Holy-smoke ,what a beautiful performance. ❤❤
One of the greatest campfire singalong tunes ever written. John Denver was such a great artist and would be very happy with this cover.
The world`s most beloved song!!
Thanks, Reina and friends, for evoking one of the premier mental snapshots of my life: driving through West Virginia, in the summer of 1971, with a couple of my best friends while John Denver was singing "Country Roads" and we were all harmonizing. . . long before you were born.
A true display of America's beauty & it's beautiful people. ❤
Love the the porch ambience and subtle background road noise. Cue a car driving by right before "blowing like a breeze" 🙂
With everything from aliens to COVID changing your plans and some folks losing their minds glad to hear some soul soothing from you.
Timeless music from a man who died too young.
I must be getting old. This one left a bit of a tear in my eye. Thank you.
Join the club, Wally. It did the same thing to me. We must be old and sloppy sentimental.
I third that..
Yeah I bawled my eyes out.
@@kevinspence5093 Smartass.
No, it shows you are human and yearn for a more peaceful world. This song brings out such emotion and is so nostalgic. I went to a John Denver concert in the 70's and it was so wonderful to see people enjoying themselves. Good times!!!
I was enjoying this with exercise, not paying attention to the video, then I caught a glimpse of it. Wow, what a golden-hour-like setting.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and such a wonderful performance.
John Denver would be proud ❤️
Love this song. Toni's guitar is missed. I love you girls!!! Thank you!!
My family was really into that song. My mom's parents had lived in West Virginia for 3 years after they retired. My mom & I were set to do an instrumental (clarinet and tenor sax) of it in late spring of '71. But the bowling banquet had to be shortened because of an incoming hurricane in New Jersey. This was definitely the best cover I've ever heard.
My dad used to play this song for me on his piano when I was a young kid in the 1970s. I also had the privilege of seeing John Denver in concert a few months before he passed away. And I LOVE this version. You did a great job!!!
this young lady is amazing.
I'm sitting on a black painted metal bench in Inverleith park, Edinburgh Scotland...What am I doing sitting ect?
I'm star gazing.
To my front, and well above the horizon, is our beautiful gas planet...JUPITER.
To my right, and well above the horizon, is the most fashionably dressed planet...SATURN.
To my left, and well above the horizon too, is our most visited. One could even say, a good friend...MARS.
And two and a half feet, in my hand is...No. Not a planet, but a STAR...Reina Del Cid.
You warmed up the cold night air! Thank you.
The singing, music, and surrounding - perfect. Just perfect!
This video is so perfect! The setting. The delicate vocals. The simple bass and that brush snare!
Well said I agree.
Can’t help but she’d a tear or two whenever I hear this song. Excellent rendition of a modern classic, y’all.
The first two words of the song say it all - "Almost Heaven" .... Thank you so much Reina & friends -very, very beautiful. 😊❤
"One of my all time favorite songs performed beautifully."
This is Korea. It's so nice to hear the song quietly. Thank you.
A beautiful rendition - true and clean. Best I heard on YT.
Very pretty! Even John Denver himself would have liked it!
Pretty sure!!!
Everything this girl does is pretty 😍
@@scottgestl2008 I most definitely agree to that. I have been watching her for a long time now. I just don’t comment often, but I think I will change that from now on, because I love their music. Reina and Toni are just great together, and I never get tired of listening to them. I always loved the little things that they do and say at the end of videos. Humorous and personal touches that help keep them real. Makes it kinda like your sitting there with them like good friends do.
@@scottgestl2008 Yes definitely. I like Toni as well, I think the two complement each other. One with the voice and charisma and the other one with the guitar and her sensuality!!!
Beautiful voice and setting! Great song as well!
I met Jessie, the owner of this home last night. Jessie was so excited to tell me about you guys
and this recording!
I lived next door to this home the first 21 years of my life.
I have many fond memories in this neighborhood. This small town was called Springville. The pond across the street was spring fed. I shared this with my family. My Amish brother in law said he has been following you guys for the last couple of years. He said, you could sing on his porch anytime!! 😊
@@michaelhart1614 Lancaster County Pa
@@samuelbeiler4454Hello fellow Pennsylvanian. 👋🏻 From Berks County. 👍
This illustrates the importance of a good drum beat.
Very simple and uncomplicated.
A snare and two brushes and it really shines on this song.
Great job!
one of the most best i have tears in my eyes
One of my all time favorite songs performed beautifully.
I sing this song every time I sit in the car when I am returning home from a business trip after a couple of months. Because, no matter where are you, you always miss your country roads. I love this performance, so gentle and clean. Greetings from Czechia.
I don't get tire of listening to her voice...👍
I'm so glad you are enjoying The East. Alot of times people from The West have a warped sense of what East is all about. Some of the best, fertile, beautiful country...plus top notch "culture" not too far away.
The perfection of sobriety. Sound, leading voice, harmonies: best cover ever.
If perfection exists for the ear, this gets very close. A superb, flawless couple of minutes of nostalgia and warmth for the soul. For me, a highlight is the bass, my word, he couldn’t have performed this any better.
RIP John…. Miss you so much.
John Denver knew this song was about singing.... Reina kills the game
It's the best cover song I've ever heard. It's the best song that makes me miss my hometown. How can you sing so calmly and well. I am really happy to hear your song. Thank you very, very much. I wish you all the best.
You can be sure that John was peeping down from Heaven with a big, wide smile on his face. You did him proud, Reina! Yours is a gift straight from God Himself. You brought tears of joy to my eyes!
Sounds and looks amazing! Got me really looking forward to playing all together again in a couple days. Make sure to tell Captain Kev that he has a real future as Director Dumpy Grapes.
Toni--Missed your guitar licks on this. Hope you recover quickly & get back with the band!😊
KEVIN! KEVIN! KEVIN! (I was in LA when THAT happened). Hope you recover super-fast Toni. You guys were amazing that night.
Let's have a new recording of this song with Tony together!
Toni, I hope you only have a mild case like I did.
(After 3 vax-shots) when I finally tested positive back in Feb., I really didn't have many symptoms. It was sorta like a low-level cold/flu. But I isolated anyways! And tested negative a week then two weeks later.) Let's all hope and pray that covid and its' variants will eventually go away!
We are all SICK of this sh*t!
Rain Rain, Go Away!
Don't Come Back Any Day!
Yeah, y'all are really great musicians vocalists and instrumentalist. You guitar playing is amazing. Inspiring me to pull my strat out of the closet where it had been hiding for years. Sorry I missed y'all in Houston. But I had chemo that day.
John Denver wrote some of the most beautiful songs in music history.
I am weeping tears of joy. Thank you.
No one is missed... The rendition was beautiful and both Toni and Reina play a vital role in their music. Stunning!!!
A beautiful Version of this classic. Andrews style of playing Bass Guitar on this one reminds me a lot of my Note Choices: Root and 5th work like a charm on the Baseline.
I am British and I would love this sense of community 🥰 I would love to wake up and hear this beautiful song instead of hearing buses roaring past my house, blaring bass music from cars, cars honking nonsensically & morons talking loudly about how their Costa Coffee (British coffee brand) is 'not great today' (fyi I live in the suburbs!) 🤩 They are a great band and have a real a talent 🤩
Helping me recover from surgery. Makes me feel so peaceful. I love it. Thank you sooooo much for your talent.
Beautiful light, beautiful singing, beautiful song.
One of my favorite songs and now one of my favorite renditions, right behind John Denver. Your voice is so soulful. Thank you.
This is my favourite song, I listens to it everyday in my spare time
This is the meaning of perfection.
It's the best cover song. It's so warm and sweet.
This song has been in my head all day - I get in from work and lo and behold, here's your version waiting for me. A damn fine version it is too; my dad loves John Denver, so I'll try and get him to listen later. Best wishes for speedy recoveries and a successful rest of the tour!
Man her voice is just so smooth.
Rena is fabulous.
Thanks so much for this, Reina 💖 My mom died two weeks ago, on July 16. She was a John Denver fan and my two younger brothers and I grew up with his music. The night my mom went into labor with me on March 10, 1975, John had a TV special airing with special guests Jacques Cousteau and Danny Kaye. Mom didn’t want to miss it so she had my dad set up a tape recorder next to their TV before they left for the hospital. Years later, when I was, I think, 19, Mom and I saw John in concert at what was then Deer Creek Amphitheater, an outdoor venue in Noblesville, Ind., near Indianapolis. She loved music, had great taste in it, and continued to catch live shows in her beloved Bloomington, Ind., when she could, even in her later years. She was the most voracious reader I ever knew, and she’d have loved your songwriting and no doubt would have been delighted to see you perform. Best wishes, Reina, and thanks for sparking some fond memories of Mom 🥰
I live in the swamp of NYC. Your beutiful rendition takes me away to the place where I belong.
Es un placer escucharte cada domingo por la mañana. Saludos desde Guanajuato, México
Y'all bring me tears of joy
Sou brasileiro paranaense admirador do seu trabalho... é isso ai piazada daí estamos aí
Ahhhh John Denver….an American treasure! You can’t help but be happy when you hear this song….or any of his for that matter!! Great video!!
My local football team come out to this song at every home game. Great rendition.
God bless John Denver and his family.
While John Denver lived here on earth he absolutely loved Jesus Christ 💕🎚️
Love Reina's voice. She's got that comfortable voice that could handle any genre of music. Still love to hear you guys do some Linda Ronstadt (Your No Good) or Wings (Band On The Run).
you guys are really something special. i could watch and listen to you guys all day.
Very well done and the perfect country setting with the bank barn and cows.
What a gift music is. It makes you feel you're in the right place wherever U are but it's best when U are with your friends and family
What a sparkling voice this girl has and such an interesting back drop !!!
Staying over in West Virginia at the moment on my way from Kentucky to NYC. And it’s easy to see what inspired this song. It’s a beautiful country out here.
Gentle, wistful even, but most of all beautifully sung. Thank you
the vibes in this video are absolutely immaculate
Reina's voice reminds me of the days I really want to go back to!!!
You're just awsome!!!!
What is a soulful voice? It's one that takes us home..... Yep you got that girl.......❤️❤️❤️
A classic, good choice. Beautiful cover !
I hope the missing members will get better soon.
The background makes this song fit right in.
A beautiful rendition! This song will be playing for reflection music at my nan’s funeral today so this is incredible timing to release this now. Thank you Reina and the band, your voice is sounding incredible in this one, and the accompaniment is so lovely.
Reina, your voice, your presence are just so compelling. Compelling and all your own.
Lotta people cover this song. You made me feel it. That's what I love about your music.
Ms. Reina & Co. brought tears to my eyes with this powerful version.... How Do You Top PERFECTION? Ask these incredible musicians! Ms. Reina sounding better, & better.... GBY all!
Pure music and the scene is pure gold. Loved every second of it.
The front porch they are sitting on looks almost identical to my grandparents old home and unfortunately was torn down a few years back and I miss it and them very much. They have been gone over 30 years but I can close my eyes and I'm right back on that front porch watching my grandfather making homemade ice cream. I know I will be seeing them very soon so that helps.
Great rendition, including the harmony singing.
I shed a tear whenever I hear an amazing JD cover. My favorite. God bless.
That was SOOO beautiful, I was reminded of when you and Toni sang I shall be Released.
Singing Country Roads, gave me chills.
What a peaceful place to live....
This is such a great song.. John Denver really wrote some classics. If you haven’t heard For Baby For Bobbie, it’s one of my favorites. Such a beautiful song and it paints some really beautiful imagery
Denver had help authoring this tune, a lot of help.
@@NeverTalkToCops1 He didn't write it. He tweaked what husband and wife team Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert had written. In their early draft the state mentioned was their home state of Massachusetts (each 4 beats).
Absolutely loved that, brings back very fond memories. Much peace and love from Dublin City...
💚☘️🎶💃🎵🕺🎶☘️💚🇮🇪
You're always great but have to say your singing in this one is a step above!! Awesome! Thank you for sharing your talent (once again).
Absolutely beautiful!! I’m crying right now missing my father and my old America!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😞😞😞
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
In the 1970s i really couldn't stand john Denver and this song but because it's Sunday afternoon in NYC right now and because it's you guys I forced myself to watch this video and I actually enjoyed it. Nice job as always 😊❤
I was in high school when this came out, and your soft, sweet voice really brought back a lot of nice memories. Have a nice time in Europe! 😀
My Dad was from West Virginia. Whenever I hear this song it makes me think of him.
