Issued by the RCA label in 2007, this two-disc John Denver retrospective features a well-selected collection of the late folk-pop performer's finest songs. Like the excellent though not as comprehensive DEFINITIVE ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS, the set presents many of the amiable Colorado-based singer-songwriter's most recognizable tunes, including the shimmering "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and the vibrant "Rocky Mountain High." However, ESSENTIAL digs further into Denver's catalogue, offering up lesser-known numbers such as the delicate "I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado" and the surprisingly energetic "I'd Rather Be a Cowboy (Lady's Chains)." Ideal for those wanting more than the DEFINITIVE compilation, but less than the weighty four-disc COUNTRY ROADS COLLECTION, ESSENTIAL easily stands as one of the best Denver anthologies available.

John Denver’s music is quite unique and it is really fascinating. You will like him especially if you are into soft and slow, or country music. I have been listening to John Denver for the last 10 years and I really admire his romantic and naturalistic songs about the country life.
