Jason Owen - Jason Owen Sings John Denver: The 20th Anniversary (2017)

Since the classic Annie’s Song launched Owen as a contestant on X Factor in 2012, he knew it would only be a matter of time before he recorded a full tribute album to not only one of his, but his much beloved pop’s, favourite artist’s. With his pop’s health on the decline and the 20th anniversary of the legend’s passing, Jason knew there was no better time than now. “I can’t believe the day has finally arrived. I couldn’t be more proud of this album and I hope everyone who hears it loves it as much as I loved singing every song on the record. I did my best to stay true to John’s unique creativity, while putting my own touch on each track – I think he’d be pretty happy with the results,” says Owen, adding, “and so is Pop!”

One of the best-selling artists of the 70s, John Denver was more than just a country music singer. He was outspoken on politics, an environmentalist and a humanitarian. Rather than putting the big smoke on a pedestal, Denver praised the virtues of country living, one most Australian country music fans can connect with.

Packed with songs that made Denver a household name, Owen’s exceptional vocals genuinely shine, perfectly capturing the soul of John Denver’s music. It’s a fitting tribute, each track mixed to honour one of country music’s most successful artists. A labour of love, Jason Owen Sings John Denver: the 20th Anniversary was produced by Bry Jones and features the beautiful voice of special guest, Chelsea Basham, on backing vocals.
