Re-Make of Original   (3 stars)
This is not the Calypso version I grew up with. This version is from Disc-5 of the John Denver Collection released in 1997. If you want the original, look to the Greatest Hits Vol.2 or the Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits (Re-mastered), etc.. This disc is still listenable, but way over-produced.
One of the best   (5 stars)
While I knew John Denver's music when he was a rising star, I didn't come to really get into his music until the last year. Over the past year I've become obsessed with collecting as much of his music as possible and I now can speak with some authority about those CDs I like and those I don't like so much. This is one of my favorites.

From the soul-stirring title song through the reprise of "Flower that Shattered the Stone," in duet with the "Japanese John Denver," which moves me to tears every time I hear it, each song in this album is a treasure. I first heard "Potter's Wheel" on this collection and it has to be one of my top 10 of Denver's songs. "Postcard from Paris" is the love letter that any traveler would send home to the one s/he left behind. "Sing Australia" is wonderful for anybody who feels any connection to that country. "Alaska and Me" is kind of a variation of Calypso, and isn't as strong as some of the others.

But really there isn't a weak song on this CD and when I load up the CD player in the car, out of the 17 Denver CDs that I currently own, you can bet that this is one of the ones that gets loaded just about every time.

Like a musical hug...   (5 stars)
When I listen to John, I feel myself wrapped in his warm embrace. Sometimes we slow dance, sometimes we spin all around the room, sometimes we just stand there, contemplating the message. But always, it's enjoyable...his music feeds my spirit. This collection will feed yours.
John Denver sings Calypso? Enough said.   (1 stars)
What was Denver thinking when he made this
THIS IS A MUST !!!!!!!!!   (5 stars)
John Denver's music and messages have touched the hearts of many. Once you own a John Denver CD you will be hooked for life.CALYPSO is an absolute treasure. If you admire John Denver's music then Calypso is a must. If you are not an avid listener of John Denver's music, believe me YOU WILL BE after listening to Calypso. Thank You John!!!!!!!
