Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

Also one of the girls (singing mostly the highest notes) is not very steady. They indeed could use some training.
As a singer, I don't expect all folk singers to have professional sounding voices — that would lose the charm and authenticity. However, the soloist quavers in the lower registers on the long notes in a way that doesn't translate as confident or pleasant, but sounds like struggling. This is due to a lack of breath support from the diaphragm. There IS a way to sing soft AND have good breath support. A good vocal coach can help the singer strengthen their voice without fundamentally altering their tone or style.

Enjoying the harmonizing. This is quite nice.

This one caught me off guard. Denver's warm song wrapped in a gentle acoustic atmosphere. Beautiful.
Let me be the first. Decent cover.
Any JD cover is ok with me
