Jesus and ME ReviewGlen Campbell is a longtime favorite artist of mine. His career has covered many genres of music. Just look at all the different artists he played for during his studio musician days! There were earlier forays in Gospel music. He recorded the "O Happy Day" album for Capitol. His composition "Less Of Me" has been a favorite with Gospel artists. A concert album included "The Lord's Prayer." I Knew Jesus (Before He Was A Star) was a hit. That album featured "Amazing Grace," with Glen on bagpipes. Yet the 80s and 90s brought a fresh committment to Christianity and Gospel music. This collection features many great songs. He recut "Amazing Grace." There are duets with Russ Taff and Anne Murray. He played a guitar solo on "The Boy In Me." Famed Christian trumpet player Phil Driscoll co-wrote "Jesus In Me." Glen said that it was like his life flashed before Phil's eyes. Sadly, I can't give this collection 5 stars. Several things bug me. 1. The practice of sticking new songs on a greatest hits collection should be illegal. There are two here. Ditto for remakes or live versions of old hits. 2. Most of these songs come from his New Haven albums "Show Me Your Way" and "The Boy In Me." How come no songs were included from "Wings Of Victory," the album in between? 3. We get the title song of his Word album "No More Night." If they could get it, how come they couldn't also license songs from the "Favorite Hymns" album? This would have made a great double album. Here's what I would have included. 1. Tall Oak Tree 2. Who's Minding The Garden? 3. I Will Arise 4. Wings Of His Victory 5. Searchin' Love (with Free Call) 6. I Surrender All 7. Suffer The Little Children (with Johnny Cash) 8. Less Of Me 9. The Lord's Prayer 10. Someone Above 11. O Happy Day 12. I Knew Jesus (Before He Was A Star)Jesus and ME Overview

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

John Denver: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 ReviewJohn Denver's Greatest Hits, Volume II, delivers one of the rarest situations in musical compilations: a second GH collection that is better than the first.
This disk contains 12 tracks which represent the full range of Denver's tremendous talents. There are wonderful, heart-tugging ballads like Annie's Song and Fly Away; tongue-in-cheek good-natured ditties like Thank God I'm a Country Boy; and the beautiful, multi-tiered tribute to Jacques Cousteau, Calypso.
The only reason this collection is rated at 5-stars is that 6-stars isn't available. Absolutely outstanding!John Denver: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 Overview
