    Well I know he's not cool but I'll admit I'm a fan and I look forward to this tribute. Some of my earliest memories of music are from my mom playing his records.

    Thanks for posting. I was a huge John Denver fan when I was young, and still enjoy hearing some of the old songs. I am definitely interested in this tribute album.

    I clicked on the link and read some of the comments, of which one pointed out that Rocky Mountain High is not listed. Oh no! I wonder why not.

    Finally got around to buying today. Although it's not mentioned in the song listings, J. Mascis does a bitching cover of the song "Prisoners". It basically becomes a Dinosaur Jr. song. I would have never thought in a million years this was possible to do with a John Denver song.
