Rocky Mountain High ReviewI have been a musician now for over twenty years and no other musician has inspired me more than John Denver. I love acoustic music and John Denver's album "Rocky Mountain High" is acoustic music at its best. This album does have bite. It has some of the best acoustic guitar playing I have ever heard. From the opening lick on "Rocky Mountain High," which proclaims the reverent majesty of the mountains, this album is an homage to the environment, a subject very dear to JD. The title track is personally my very favorite song and it finally galvanized my desire to play the guitar. The song is not just about a man who lives in the rocky mountains, it is a personal anthem about the spiritual quest to find oneself.
"Mother Nature's Son" indeed is a song that JD made his own. I love the Beatles, but this is, in my opinion, the definitive version. "Paradise" was written by John Prine and is pure folk music. With the senseless destruction of the environment as its theme, it is interwoven with a nostalgic reminiscence for what once was. The love song and lullaby "For Baby (For Bobbie)" was an early song written by JD and first recorded back in his Mitchell Trio days. It displays one of JD's predominate talents...the gift of melody. Its a beautiful song, pure and simple. "Darcy Farrow" has become a classic folk tune and although it did not originate from JD it was another song that has become closely associated with him. It is another example of poignant and heartfelt finger-style guitar playing and singing that JD was a master craftsman at. It is another personal favorite song of mine to sing and play on the guitar.
"Prisoners" is one of the many songs in JD's career that are rare undiscovered gems. Many people all know his big hits, but delightfully sprinkled throughout the albums in his catalog are songs such as this. Prisoners also demonstrates that his song writing did, at times, cover some dark themes that are common to humanity. In "Goodbye Again" JD returns to a familiar theme in his music; the sorrow and the hardships of living a musicians peripatetic lifestyle. The song reveals one of the motives that drove JD to sing. As a musician I can relate to the desire to stand in front of people and communicate through music. It is a powerful drive. The album closes with the "Season Suite." It is a celebration of the seasons, and life in general. JD includes an instrumental "fifth season" "Late Winter, Early Spring." It is perhaps one of the most relaxing and meditative works ever done on the guitar. The playing reflects the genius of Mike Taylor, JD's lead guitar player at the time. It took me a couple of months to figure out his lead work, and now I perform that song any chance I get. This has been a little trek through John Denver's best album; if you purchase it, you will not be disappointed.Rocky Mountain High Overview
