A Tribute to John Denver
Thank God I’m A Country Boy!
With Thank God I’m A Country Boy!, Jimmy Duchateau shows that John Denver was much more than just a few big hits.
After four successful years with the show Country Roads, a fresh new production is here. Jimmy and his band take the audience on a musical journey through Denver’s life, with stories that touch the heart and music that lingers.
In addition to fan favorites like Perhaps Love, Calypso, and Thank God I’m a Country Boy, lesser-known gems are also featured. “Music only works when it’s genuine,” says Jimmy. That’s why he relies on the authentic arrangements by Lee Holdridge, Denver’s musical right-hand man for many years.
Even after 25 years, John Denver’s music remains alive and well. Though Jimmy is from a different generation, he perfectly captures the soul of Denver’s work. Thank God I’m A Country Boy! is a musical tribute where the warmth of Denver’s music is felt from start to finish.
