What can you say about John Denver? As one of pop music's five all-time best-selling artists and a tireless ambassador of peace and goodwill, the beauty and inspiration of Christmas like a Lullaby should come as no surprise. The title cut, with words and music by Denver, is the prelude to a dozen songs, both familiar and more obscure, that capture and intimately convey the spirit of the holiday season. The supporting cast of musicians is no less than sensational, with Glen D. Hardin, Jerry Scheff, Jim Horn and James Burton adding the instrumentation that makes it work so well. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats
As John Denver, the former John Henry Deutschendorf was a ubiquitous icon of the 1970s. Although he had been a musician and songwriter in the 1960s, penning "Leaving on a Jet Plane" for Peter, Paul & Mary, Denver hit his stride in the '70s with earnest folk songs celebrating the glories of the natural world and life's simple pleasures. Although he was sometimes savaged by critics for his overarching earnestness, his songs speak for themselves, and his records still sell in large numbers. In the wake of his premature death in a 1997 plane crash, a number of contemporary artists have recorded Denver's songs, without any hint of irony.
