A Tribute to John Denver
Thank God I’m A Country Boy!
Anyone who thinks John Denver only wrote Annie’s Song and Leaving on a Jet Plane is mistaken. Jimmy Duchateau proves otherwise in Thank God I’m A Country Boy! After four successful years with Country Roads, he returns with a brand-new show that looks beyond the biggest hits. Jimmy and his band tell the story of a singer who touched the world with his words and melodies.
Alongside well-known songs like Thank God I’m a Country Boy and Perhaps Love, lesser-known works also get their moment in the spotlight. “True emotion can’t be copied – it has to come from within,” says Jimmy. Staying true to the original scores by Denver’s longtime arranger Lee Holdridge adds something truly special to the show.
Twenty-five years after his death, Denver’s music remains just as relevant and beloved. Though from a different generation, Jimmy feels and conveys Denver’s songs with remarkable depth. Thank God I’m A Country Boy! is a heartfelt tribute filled with emotion, insight, and respect.
