American Idol Contestant Puts Unique Spin On John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads”

I’m not much of an American Idol fan, but I’ll check in from time to time and this year, I’ve been loving Arthur Gunn.

A while back, he wowed the judges with a performance of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain,” the same song that he auditioned with.

His arrangement was so complicated the American Idol band could barely follow along, but nevertheless, he crushed it.

And speaking of arrangements, tonight he put an entirely different spin on the John Denver classic, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

With a unique reggae spin, it’s not the “Country Roads” you’re used to hearing, but either way, it was pretty damn cool.
