John Collis takes a different perspective on John Denver in his book Mother Nature's Son. It is not a straight biography per se; rather, its chapters are divided by significant events in John's life and the music he wrote about those events. The book is not entirely flattering, but it is much more objective and less harsh than other commentaries written about John and his fans. The most notable theme you will find throughout the book is that Collis, whose other books are about singers with a much harder sound than John's folk music, wasn't impressed so much by John's music and lyrics as he was by John's singing voice. The book isn't that long and could be read through in a couple of evenings.
