John Denver, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter and Poet Laureate of Colorado, released over 20 studio albums in his three decade career; 12 gold and 4 platinum to go along with a string of gold singles. Poems, Prayers & Promises is arguably the album that put Denver on the map. Featuring his first worldwide hit and signature song, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" the album also includes the enduring classics "Sunshine On My Shoulders," "I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado" and the title track "Poems, Prayers and Promises." This 1971 platinum-certified release features a total of six self-penned tracks along with excellent covers of The Beatles' "Let It Be" and James Taylor's "Fire and Rain." 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of Poems, Prayers & Promises – which Sony Legacy commemorates with a vinyl LP here!
