Interesting terminology in a very opinionated article "Almost Heaven once" on John Denver:-

in Chicago's "Pop Matters" at:-
http://popmatters.com/music/features...nverjohn.shtml
"Granted there were others like him: Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Melissa Manchester, James Taylor - a whole goddamn stormfront of twinkletoe tumbleweeds who wanted to be superstars. But Denver was different"
And later in a section on a JD greatest hits CD reissue
"None of his peers not James Taylor, nor Carole King, not Gordon Lightfoot (but maybe Cat Stevens) could have cobbled together an early collection with this level of tune density."
John Fowles
