My Morning Jacket - Leaving, On A Jet Plane

From the collector The Music is You (A Tribute to John Denver) comes this song from My Morning Jacket. The band manages to make the song even sadder than it already was in the original version. The record also contains more big names such as Evan Dando, Low and Bonnie Prince Billy.
Denver wrote the song in 1966. It’s best known in the version of the American folk group Peter, Paul & Mary.
