Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist following a brief career performing in small folk-based groups is Take Me Home Country Roads written by Bill Danoff. Danoff had originally written the tune by putting Johnny Cash's song in his mind, but Denver knew from the first time he listened to the first versions of the song that it would be a big smash. The song was recorded by the singer within a couple of days following a performance to crowds of enthusiastic fans at Washington D.C.
