Fifteen years after John Denver's death and 40 years after the release of his hit song “Rocky Mountain High,” ATO Records will celebrate the life and music with The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver, slated for April 2.
The album features covers of Denver’s most popular songs by Dave Matthews, My Morning Jacket, Train, Amos Lee, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Brandi Carlile and Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Josh Ritter and Barnstar!, Old Crow Medicine Show, Kathleen Edwards (produced by Jim James), Brett Dennen and Milow, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Allen Stone, Blind Pilot, J Mascis, and Sharon Van Etten and Evan Dando.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Wilderness Society in John’s name. See track listing below.
The album follows a recent resurgence in Denver’s popularity with his hits compilation Definite All-Time Greatest Hits being certified gold in 2011. Holding true to Denver’s message, 2011’s John Denver Earth Day Celebration Concert sold out, initiating the current Rocky Mountain High Concert Tour.
John Denver, the two-time Grammy Award-winning singer songwriter (and five-time Grammy Awards host) and the Poet Laureate of Colorado, released 23 studio albums in his lifetime.
