The global appeal of "Take Me Home, Country Roads"; CBS Sunday Morning, December 26, 2021

CBS Sunday Morning; The global appeal of "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

""Take Me Home, Country Roads," a song about a longing for home (co-written by a songwriter who had never even been in West Virginia), has been embraced by the Mountain State in a big way, and has since been appropriated by singers around the world looking for their very own "place I belong." Correspondent Conor Knighton looks into the genesis and global impact of John Denver's first big hit; and with country star Brad Paisley about the special pull the song has for him."
