That wide-open, wholehearted spirit John Denver captured has a wonderful way of making the natural world feel deeply personal. Here are three tracks that carry that same mountain reverence and vocal lift. Do you lean more toward the warm, 1970s radio-folk arrangements, or are you curious about modern harmony groups exploring similar landscapes?
TrackAlpine folk romance
Carolina in the Pines
Michael Martin Murphey
Written while living in the Colorado highlands and released on his 1975 album Blue Sky - Night Thunder, it pairs imagery of high timberlines and changing moons with an earnest, soaring vocal.
TrackLush pastoral harmonies
Blue Ridge Mountains
Fleet Foxes
Directly evoking the same mountain range referenced in Denver's song, this cut from their 2008 debut album builds into towering, multi-part vocal harmonies wrapped in winter woodscape imagery.
TrackSweeping coastal majesty
The Reach
Dan Fogelberg
Penned about Maine's Eggemoggin Reach for his 1981 double album The Innocent Age, it channels an expansive appreciation of the natural elements through Fogelberg's soaring tenor and rich acoustic arrangement.
