In the interest of full disclosure: I’ve never been much of a John Denver fan. However, when you pair Brandi Carlile and Emmylou Harris, you have my full, undivided attention. Which is why I’m writing about “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” Denver’s song that Carlile and Harris have no problem solving with their artistic gifts. It’s part of The Music Is You: A Tribute To John Denver, which also features My Morning Jacket, Lucinda Williams, Kathleen Edwards, and Blind Pilot, to just name a few.
Also: Brandi Carlile will be performing at The Pageant in St. Louis on July 10th. Get your tickets now.
