coincides with his 70th birthday
1888 Press Release - In honor of the 70th
birthday of the late and legendary
singer/songwriter John Denver on Dec. 31,
acclaimed Indie recording artist Luanne Hunt
releases what may have been his greatest musical
work, "The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer)."
Denver did not record the tune. Hunt brings forth
an emotional production, passionately delivering
the song's timely and awe-inspiring
message. Denver, CO - Coinciding with what would
have been legendary singer/songwriter John
Denver's 70th birthday on Dec. 31, chart-topping
Indie recording artist Luanne Hunt releases his
rare and powerful composition, "The Wandering
Soul (Love is the Answer)." Denver, who died in
a plane crash in 1997 off the California coast,
delivered perhaps his most profound message
through the inspiring and timely ballad. The
"Rocky Mountain High" singer stated in his
autobiography that he wrote the tune in Santa Fe,
N.M. around 1994. "I went off on a hike, and
midway to where I was headed, the song I was
trying to write ("The Wandering Soul") just came
to me, fell from the sky," Denver said in his
book, "Take Me Home." Hunt says she recorded
"The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer)" to not
only showcase what may have been Denver's finest
work, but also to help others find healing,
wholeness and a deeper meaning on their journeys.
2"The first time I heard 'The Wandering Soul (Love
is the Answer),' I broke down and cried for a
very long time," said Hunt, who resides in
Southern California and records on the Star Creek
Entertainment label. "I knew I had to record it
and felt certain it was meant for something much
greater than I could even fathom. John's song
definitely has been life-changing for
me." Hunt's own musical journey has been one of
profound personal, creative and spiritual
transformation. By focusing on her artistic
vision, she found the strength to overcome
devastating emotional wounds and follow her
authentic path as a singer/songwriter. Over the
years, the Pennsylvania native has built an
impressive list of accomplishments and a
worldwide fan base with her contemporary folk
songs. Her 2007 CD "Breaking Through" produced
two hit singles on U.S. and European Charts. The
enchanting "Solace In The Wind" reached No. 1 on
the European Country Music Association's chart
(Belgium) in July 2010. The song also landed on
the 2009 Grammy ballot in two categories Best
Country Song and Best Female Country
Performance. In December 2011, Hunt's holiday
tune "Christmas Without You" went to No. 1 on the
European Country Music Association charts in
France, Denmark and Austria. It also was the
second most played song in Europe during that
month. "The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer)"
is being utilized to raise funds for Forest Way
Productions, a 501c3 charity dedicated to
providing retreat opportunities conducive to
spiritual growth. It also promotes creative
projects designed to support a unified vision of
spirituality in the world.
3"I am deeply moved by 'The Wandering Soul (Love
is the Answer),'" said Matthew Flickstein,
founder of Forest Way Productions and Telly
Award-winning documentary filmmaker of "With One
Voice." "The lyrics are exquisite and Luanne's
voice and presence profoundly touch my heart. I
can see how her voice and music can open people's
eyes to the Divine and lovingly transform their
hearts." "The Wandering Soul (Love is the
Answer)" can be purchased and downloaded at
