John Denver – Take Me To Tomorrow (1970/2013) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Take Me To Tomorrow is John Denver’s captivating sophomore masterpiece. This 1970 classic surprised fans with its heavily influenced folk-rock sound. Breaking into the Billboard 200, the outing was one of Denver’s most inventive. It features the standouts “Aspenglow,” “Take Me To Tomorrow” and “Carolina In My Mind.”

Take Me to Tomorrow will come as a surprise to anyone expecting the pretty folk music and “listen to the wisdom of the children” lyrics usually associated with John Denver. The album, with its comparatively heavy folk-rock sound married to lyrics that mention belching and latrines, strives for the realism and capital “I” importance of Paul Simon, or even Phil Ochs, without the blatant politics. Denver tackles two Tom Paxton songs, including “Forest Lawn,” a wry swipe at the cemetery business that echoes Evelyn Waugh’s classic novel The Loved One. Pretty folk isn’t entirely absent – “Aspenglow” is the cut that is usually included on anthologies. According to the liner notes, Take Me to Tomorrow and Denver’s solo debut, Rhymes & Reasons, combine to replicate his concert performance circa 1969, with Rhymes & Reasons comprising the lighter first-half of the show, and Take Me to Tomorrow the more rousing and cerebral second-half. Viewed from that perspective, the album accomplishes its goal, but it is not a typical John Denver album and will not be to every fan’s liking.
