Take Me Home, Country Roads is a song originally made famous by John Denver. The version here is done by the Acapella group Home Free and I love their rendition. They’ve slowed the tempo a little but their flawless harmony almost makes it sound like there are musical instruments being used, though there aren’t any. As usual for music by Home Free, the arrangement has beautiful scenery as a backdrop. This is the sort of music I really enjoy listening to.

These guys are really good.
Home Free is one of my favorite acapella groups.
I cannot think of listening to any other version but that rendition by John Denver and no other. I have great sentimental memories when I listen to the John Denver version.
I can understand that, but one of the greatest tributes an artist can get is when another talented artist or artists sing their songs and both do it well and put a lot of feeling into the music. John Denver was a favorite of mine and there aren’t many artists who can do a good job on his hit songs, though many have tried. Home Free does a good job and I suspect that if John was still around, he’d probably be performing songs like this one with Home Free.
You have a point but somehow for me no one can do an original no matter how much they try.
It is a very lovely arrangement on this song,
I agree and the way they do it shows that they have a great deal of respect for the original artist.
