Denver's first Top 10 hit as a solo artist after a short period of performing with small folk bands included Take Me Home Country Roads composed by Bill Danoff. Danoff was the one who wrote the song to imitate the style of Johnny Cash, but Denver could hear an early version and knew it would become a top 10 chart hit. Following the performance at Washington D.C. to a vast crowd, he made a recording a few days later.
