Toots & The Maytals - Take Me Home, Country Roads

[FFScantgetadamnname]

i love toots and this a great track, but i prefer the john denver version.. It just feels more heartfelt to me. But i still love this version, especially the 4:55 - 5:00 bit

[rodrig8vo]

[reesenicholas]

i expected the rocky mountains to be a little more rocky. that john denver is full of shit man

[BLURODEOSEXSHOW]

FUCK JOHN DENVER!

[warlord4254]

@BLURODEOSEXSHOW why fuck john denver? he wrote this song and its a damn good song, and without him there wouldnt be this cover. stupid comment

[AndrewJLintz]

@warlord4254 FYI, Little technicality, Danoff and Nivert wrote the song... gave it to John Denver. Danoff and Nivert originally wanted to sell the song to Johnny Cash, but had a working relationship with Denver from playing at the Cellar Door (Washington D.C.)

[AndrewJLintz]

@AndrewJLintz still a damn good song & still props to Denver for making it a hit!

[BushmasterJH]

@BLURODEOSEXSHOW Why would you even say such a thing? Have a little respect. If it wasnt for John Denver this song wouldnt even exist.

[malcolmscotty1]

Oh my goodness! My room-mate at the uni in Africa listened to this song everyday. Tears are flowing in my eyes everyday. This group is going to perform here in London...I have to go just to honor my fallen friend. This music is staxxxxxx

[Uncharted182]

@kucheza :)

[kokobutterbuns]

This song brings back memories of hitchhiking in the Kootenays and singing this at the top of my lungs on the side of the road, sign in my hands and waiting for the next adventure.

[hispanicmagic]

John Denver is cool man, he smashed his car every two weeks, racked up DWIs in the dozens per year, and was caught naked and drunk on a roof-top in freezing weather. And his grand finale- Smashing an "experimental plane" he built, into the water at 500mph. They don't make musicians like that anymore. But he was a fine song writer, I will give him that.

[lemonite1]

It's one of those cases where the cover is better than the original.No offense to Bob Denver.......but

[malicho69]

@lemonite1 eh, it's john denver. and they're entirely different, both are great.

[BifMcAwesome]

Take that, Zombie John Denver!!!

[neosmedia]

I saw Toots last night in Vancouver and it was an awesome show. Glad to see them again live. Big up!

[davieboy09xbl1]

[vtjibber9]

[goonerballs]

@vtjibber9 A lot of people..

[bluesman332]

[rpmxer2]

You guys got here so quick!!Great tune

[earthtv1]

this song makes me so proud to be jamaican

[littlebigbrain]

The greatest SOUL singer living today. Just a GOD of the tunesmiths art.

[ilovemingers]

MOTD 2 just reminded of the greatness of Toots and Man Utd.

[davieboy09xbl1]

@ilovemingers united UNITED

[littlebigbrain]

@ilovemingers Greatness foundered on a runway. Sad but true. Man United are no longer a manchester team and owe hundreds of millions

[ELLANDRD1966]

@ilovemingers Why mention this great song and great performance and then associate it with Vermin? You absolute twat. And you'll get twatted again when you dare to set foot over this side of the Pennines. Tosser.

[twobit211]

@ELLANDRD1966 so, uh, how's life in the lower divisions working out for ya?

[ELLANDRD1966]

@twobit211 Its great mate, especially last year when we were in the third division and turned your Theatre of Dreams into Nightmares. It was well worth our double relegation just to see you crawling away from under your prawn sandwhiches. Good job we were there really, it must have been years since you lot sampled an atmosphere.

[twobit211]

@ELLANDRD1966 cool, cool, good to hear; nothing like taking pride in the accomplishments of your club. i dunno, maybe i'm just logy from all the prawn sandwiches, but i can't remember much of what mufc did last year.

[njackson118]

MOTD2 brought me here.

[TheUltimoLee]

@njackson118 Lol same

[trishanne1]

Hey Toots... how're you today.... ??? blessings great version..... One love... :) x

[KillaDose]

im soo young and i like this old music waaaay more then you dinosaurs, your sooooooo old your days are coming to an end and im still young

[nretelas]

@KillaDose That's what John Denver said, then he died......

[0iTrojanSkinz0i]

everyone that is complaining about young kids stating their age and likeing this is stupid. im glad that at least some kids in the younger generation listen to this as appose to all the other garbage that is out there today. anyway, i didnt come here to bitch. i came here to listen to a good tune.

[wouter275]

@0iTrojanSkinz0i that's the way it should be;)

[ShadowCrashed81]

@0iTrojanSkinz0i They're kids. Everyones music taste changes. Everyones.

[easytoremember246]

FUCK JOHN DENVER

[Salinear]

@easytoremember246 Fuck you. What kind of trashy person speaks ill of the dead, go jump off a cliff.

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@Salinear will you shut up, firstly, everyone speeks ill of hitler and alot of ppl of kurt cobaine but the nazis and the grundgers don't moan about it all day. this guy is merely expressing his love for this cover, in my opinion FUCK DENVER!! :P

[Salinear]

@666jimmysmusicgirl Which simply shows that your low class.

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@Salinear oh, well thats the thing to say, just because i'm 'low class' and because i'm not standing right infront of you and you're going to insult me like this. you are such a coward.

[frylocck]

ya, both the original and this are pretty badass

[urmthrshldknw]

hey all... I did a video to this song, i did it about almost 2 years ago and it hasn't gotten a single view except for a few from myself and my friends... but not a single comment ethier... it makes me sad :( its the only video i have uploaded so it should be easy to find, if anyones willing to look and comment id appreciate it cause it documents a time when the country roads brought me back home and i have always been curious if the message i tried to get at truly comes across or not.

[scram113]

@urmthrshldknw dude get over the fucking video. the country roads brought you home and look at all these other people who are sharing your same feeling as they watch/listen to the music. share it and appreciate it and get over yourself

[inotcare]

@scram113 and smoke weed

[Zudruff123]

hammer froi mi ufs reeeds au wänns das stuck nöd bringet^^

[howrisky]

@Zudruff123

[inotcare]

@howrisky was? warum sollte es deutsch aus jamaika sein... hör dem lied zu.. chill.. höre andere musik.. rauch grass und nimm keine anderen drogen. und dann fühl dich frei

[tom134luv]

saw this live yesterday ... amazing :)

[casomaticvvh]

I like this version way more than JohnDenvers. Toots has an awesome voice for reggae.

[DudeWhoLuvsMovies]

i wanna go to jamaca

[1989Foxy50]

I love this

[Treadsoftly14]

[marquettefootball]

My wife is from West Virginia, and she nearly killed me when she heard this. But it's awesome!

[wiredwezl]

[qpertinaxp]

kurtzb1970 has a heart full of neutrality.

[kurtzb1970]

This song is different from the original and it is good.

It is not better than the original, just different from. To say it "blows the original away" is to imply the original was bad.

I like this version too.

[hellokatty08]

i'm completely in love with this song, think it's better than the original as well

[eers2ya]

@hellokatty08 I like it, but it doesn't beat the original.

[hellokatty08]

@eers2ya fair enough, your opinion this one makes me feel really good though, john denver's doesn't, plus toots & the maytals are just incredible :)

[scfbstar]

thank you!!

[Steamstock]

Nice, havent heard this in YEARS!

[fredbacon89]

driveing down manchester take me home to old trafford ;)
