It's funny because I was watching the NFL game in Germany from yesterday and apparently Country Roads is beloved even outside the States:

But I still think West Virginians sing it best themselves:

Always gives me chills

Oh lol yeah that would be weird. Course it's weird a Tom Jones version even exists

The most well known rendition is by Johnny Cash but it's been covered a million times

Speaking of Western, although it's a vidya game song, this one from Outlaws is awesome: https://youtu.be/SZuGcZ5Nt9Q

Clearly heavily heavily inspired by Ennio Morricone to almost the point of plagiarism

Also title theme slaps too https://youtu.be/80u82h35neg

Also far from a great song but it's interesting hearing the original Cotton Eyed Joe

the blue ridge mountains are not even in WV, they're in Virginia

i guess there's like 10 miles of shenandoah river in WV where it breaks off from the potomac, but again most of it is in VA

what the fuck john denver

Supposedly it was going to be "Western Virginia" but it didn't flow as nicely so it was shortened to West Virginia

Although the song was actually inspired by Gaithersburg Maryland

It's just Appalachia in general really
