Rhymes & Reasons (John Denver album)

Rhymes & Reasons is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter John Denver, released in October 1969 by RCA Records. The album continued Denver's folk-based musical style and contained several songs that became staples of his early career.

Key tracks on the album include "Leaving on a Jet Plane," written by John Denver (though often misattributed, this song was written before his solo career and was made famous by Peter, Paul and Mary), "Take Me to Tomorrow," "Rhymes and Reasons," and "Follow Me." The album also features covers of songs by other artists, showcasing Denver's interpretation of contemporary folk and country music.
