Rocky Mountain Christmas

Limited Edition blue colored 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve. John Denver emerged from the folk music movement of the 1960s to become one of the most celebrated entertainers of the '70s and '80s - with a string of nearly three dozen Billboard chart hits including the standards "Leaving On A Jet Plane," "Take Me Home, Country Roads," "Rocky Mountain High" (an official state song of Colorado), "Sunshine On My Shoulders," "Back Home Again," "Thank God I'm A Country Boy," "Annie's Song," "Calypso," and many others, a body of work that will continue to resonate for years to come. Throughout his RCA recording career, Denver released some 22 studio, live and Christmas albums including his first holiday themed collection, 1975's Rocky Mountain Christmas. Arranged and orchestrated by folk rock legend Milt Okun, the endearing 12-track effort features renditions of traditional carols and popular Christmas fare like "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Silver Bells," "Away in A Manger," and "Oh Holy Night" plus re-recorded versions of his previously released "Aspenglow" and "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)."
