"I love all of John's music and have 28 of his albums, but Dreamland Express is one of my particular favourites. Some of the songs on this seem to have a haunting beauty, like so much of his music...I love it"
It helped to bring me back

"Having bought JD's albums since 1972 I had a lull - if I got bored or not I have no idea, he just did not seem to fit anymore. So I missed some releases. This was one, but when I heard it I regreted missing it - the music is rarely spectacular but it is very warm and engaging. Now the CD is a regular on my play list simply because it makes me feel good.And it generated my interest in his other late period releases. It is too easy to be critical as it set no real hights, but there are no lows either. It covers a variety of styles (Doo Wop as well) but remains JD - try it and you won't be sorry - except that you didn't hear it sooner."
A Real Kick*

"Listening to John Denvers' Folklore-Ballads is one unique experience, but playing this CD is an experience.
From the mundane pure mountain style, to the 'Rich in Spirit', this
high level energy music seems to be a real gusher.
It is a twist and a kick of musical relationships between society and lovers.
Each word is written with John Denvers vivacious color coded notes.
~It is exciting and yet serious. I enjoy this tremendously.
