This version of John Denver’s 1971 hit “Take Me Home Country Roads,” which appeared on Toots & the Maytals’ classic album Funky Kingston (released in the US in 1975), is probably the best known reggae cover of a country song. Toots Hibbert puts a yardie twist on things, replacing Denver’s references to West Virginia with “West Jamaica.”
