TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS (John Denver) - Tommy Johansson

[@LizWeirTX]

My mom loved John Denver. She passed away 2 months ago. I might cry when it starts

[@vingilote1]

I´m sorry for your loss...

[@ulrikeriemenschneider6154]

[@luizalicaramos1247]

I'm so sorry for her loss, she would be very happy if she had time to see this wonderful Tommy cover.👏💯🪕🎸

[@flutegirl9124]

Never in a million years would I have guessed that I would fall head over heels for a Swedish giant who does power metal. I am a flutist/pianist in Michigan and I wish with all my heart that I could meet you. My heart is the problem though. I have a heart transplant and I now need two valves replaced, which means a third open heart surgery. Your music has a wonderfully calming effect on me. Thank you.

[@OfficialBeeswax]

That comment took a twist halfway through 😳

(Senior Citizen talking here). You know, you see the name of a song that you have liked all your life, then you see Tommy Johansson's name, and you think...no...not sure he is going to be able to pull this off and make it sound good. Then you listen and are blown away, and now you have two favorite versions of the song you like so much. Outstanding work, Tommy. Simply outstanding.

[@PammW]

I absolutely fell in love with him, well, his music, first time I heard him sing "I'd Do Anything for Love". I'm a Jim Steinman devotee and am a very tough critic on anyone covering his songs ... you won a fan with that one, Tommy! ... I'll be 65 in June 🤣

[@fennellabergeson5046]

68yo here ...one of my favorite things is when I am around several generations younger than me and a metal song comes on and they can't believe I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I remind them that it was my (our) generation that invented metal!!! I love how he takes songs from so many different decades and genres and turns them into an amazing metal version.

I just found Tommy Jay by accident. Love this song by John Denver and typically I would not like the remakes, but Tommy J rips it up. Love this version. So I now wonder what else Tommy Jay has done that will blow me away.

There is so much technical proficiency and talent in every one of Tommy’s cover’s that it’s impossible to hear one without it adding something to the original track itself. He is extremely gifted and generous in the way he shares his music with us, we are blessed to have access to one of rock’s biggest name’s and rising star’s. Thank you Tommy, we love you bro, keep on rocking, and well keep on supporting you my friend - you’re a massive gift to music and we’ve only sampled a small amount of your incredible potential - I drink a toast to your future, because you *will* be a huge influence in years to come, it’s a pleasure to share this journey with you! 👍😉🫶

This is not an easy song, and definitely I have great respect for the original. Well done Tommy.

[@C.Roxana]

Right, so, apart from the talent that obviously goes through the roof, both vocally and instrumentally. What I also admire about this man, is his good humor and positive state at all times. That is to be appreciated, because after all we’re all human beings, and therefore have got our own troubles, either health-wise, or family-wise, or u name it any other type of problem. But he never allows that to affect the quality of his work as a musician, and because I realize that is probably quite hard to achieve, man u’ve got all my respect. Blessed be and keep up the good work 💙

[@ReinXeed]

Thank you for that! :)

❤ John Denver ❤ Absolutely loved that this cover was a tribute to someone you admired greatly and loved.❤ This was also my Dad’s favourite song and whilst I was caring for him in his last months (I actually resigned from my job of 16+ years to make sure Dad spent as much time as possible in his own home and wasn’t put into “care”, the least he deserved after being my rock for my whole life), Dad requested that I play this song pretty much at least once every single day. I knew when he started mentioning that he was being visited by his mother that it was nearly time for him to go…from what the nurses in the hospital told me, this was the song that was playing when he passed (3am on 12/05/23). 😢 FYI….I had set up a speaker with a USB filled with Dad’s favourite songs at his bedside and had it playing on repeat during his last few days.

I found Tommy 6 months ago with his version of “Your the Voice”. (Nailed it of course🇦🇺) I found Sabaton 2 weeks ago (from the comments) and of course Majestica, none of which gets played on Australian radio. I’m 51 and feel like I’ve been ripped off not knowing of these or other Swedish bands. (How many more are there?) Now, on the way to work I have Tommy ripin on the Spotify, lovin Tommy’s versions of popular songs as well as ReinXeed/Majestica. 🤙🏼🇦🇺

[@marinamucic908]

Do you know Nightwish? My favorite band next to Sabaton and Majestica, in fact Nightwish is the reason I got to know both Sabaton and Majestica 😊

Now that I’ve discovered these two awesome gents, I am going to check out their Collab and find out what they’re all about.
