Album Notes Contains 1996 recordings of previously released material. Personnel: John Denver (vocals, guitar); Pete Huttlinger (electric & acoustic guitars, mandolin, background vocals); Chris Nole (piano, keyboard, background vocals); Alan Deremo (bass); Michito Sanchez (drums, percussion). Recorded at 16th Avenue Sound, Nashville, Tennessee in September, 1996. Personnel: John Denver (vocals, guitar); Pete Huttlinger (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Chris Nole (piano, keyboards, background vocals); Michito Sánchez (drums, percussion). Recording information: 16th Ave. Sound, Nashville, TN (09/1996). If John Denver hadn't tragically died in a plane crash, it's unlikely that Celebration of Life/The Last Recordings would have been celebrated upon its release. Nevertheless, he did die, and Celebration of Life was tagged with the subtitle The Last Recordings, as if this was a special recording. If you discount its historical standing as Denver's last recording, the album isn't particularly noteworthy. It simply offers 12 songs, mostly hits like "Dreamland Express," "Rocky Mountain High," "Take Me Home, Country Roads," "Sunshine on My Shoulders" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane," in pretty good live versions, which may be enough for dedicated fans to remember him by. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
