Rhymes & Reasons / Take Me To Tomorrow / Whose Garden / Poems, Prayers & Promises - John Denver

The late, great John Denver's first four albums for RCA Records, dating from 1969, '70 and '71. 

Denver had tasted success as the writer of Leaving On A Jet Plane which was a huge hit for Peter, Paul & Mary, but recording-wise albums and 45s he made for various labels failed to chart. 

Rhymes & Reasons made the US Top 200 Albums chart and was a Top 30 album in the UK. The following two albums had limited commercial impact, but the single Take Me Home, Country Roads was a US No. 2 and a Canadian No. 3; taken from Poems, Prayers & Promises, the album took off, making both the US and UK Top 20 Albums charts.
