John Denver: A Life from Beginning to End

Just like the seasons, he went through plenty of changes, but he always returned to the source of his inspiration. John Denver was inspired by nature and the love of life in general. He wrote songs about how sunshine made him happy and how the natural disposition of Mother Earth made him high.

And, behind the wholesome, carefree facade was a man wrestling with inner struggles. Denver’s life wasn’t as idyllic as his music might suggest. He faced many challenges, including a battle with alcohol addiction. This book takes you on a journey through John Denver’s life and music, exploring the man behind the melodies and the legacy of one of the most beloved artists of his time.
