My mom used to listen to a lot of John Denver when we were kids. "Rocky Mountain High" is an old throw back from those days. I can't remember the last time I heard that song, but in my opinion, I think John Denver was a hell of a singer, much in the same way as Jim Croche was - nothing really showy or flashy about their voices in particular, but they were always consistent, always on key. That's something I always appreciated about folk singers like Denver, and "Rocky Mountain High" is definitely one of his best, if not at least for the reason that it was banned from the radio when it came out by the F.C.C.
**** the F.C.C., by the way.
