Our monthly vinyl column Record Time is back with reviews of new releases from Simple Minds, OFF!, Black Lips, and more!
For a full decade and change, John Denver was one of the biggest stars on the planet, pissing off the country music establishment and securing a place in the soft rock pantheon with his cable knit vocals and the comforting glow of his arrangements. Adding fuel to this cozy campfire early on was his sixth studio album, released 50 years ago and reissued this month on blue vinyl, and its indelible title track “Rocky Mountain High,” both of which hit the top 10 in the U.S.
If all you know of this record is that tune, there is much more within to sink one’s teeth into. At the end of side one, Denver tells a powerful tale from the perspectives of an incarcerated man and his wife waiting for his release. He gets conceptual, taking up the bulk of side two with a long suite of songs written about the four seasons. And he sneaks in a lovely cover of the Beatles’ “Mother Nature’s Son,” to boot. Denver’s LPs are ubiquitous in used record shops for a reason.
