Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the "Rocky Mountain High" album and song, John Denver's Windstar Records is reissuing the album on limited edition blue vinyl. Originally released September 15, 1972, "Rocky Mountain High" was Denver's first Top 10 album, propelled by the self-titled single.
In 2007, the title track was made a state song of Colorado. "Rocky Mountain High" was written while Denver was camping in the Rocky Mountains during the Perseid Meteor Shower, with lyrics expressing the love and wonder her felt for his adopted state of Colorado, and speaking of environmental sustainability. The album also features Denver's take on songs by The Beatles and John Prine, and the five-part Season Suite finds reflection through the seasons.
