Did you know that John Denver recorded nearly three hundred songs during his incredible career? He was one of the biggest stars of the 1970s because he sang about the things that truly matter. As a boy, Aaron Grubb fell in love with this sound and spent every single day practicing in his bedroom. He would even fake being sick just to stay home and copy every note from Denver’s records. This lifelong devotion is why he can now share the magic of I’d Rather Be A Cowboy.
John did not need fancy tricks or loud drums to reach people’s hearts. His clear voice and acoustic guitar captured a sense of peace that is very hard to find today. It is a beautiful way to escape the busy noise of modern life.
