Brown the curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame stated that John Denver was by far one of the most popular musicians who was a symbol of Colorado. Denver was a member of the Hall of Fame as its first member in 2011. He is now the symbol of Colorado for all people. Through my many travels, I've met a lot of individuals who do not hail from Colorado. People will declare, "Oh John Denver!" When they hear you're from Colorado. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief stint as a folk musician and was his debut Top 10 solo hit. Danoff was credited with Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the song, but Denver recognized that the song could turn into a hit once it was discovered that an earlier version.
