At long last, the John Denver tribute album The Music is You: A Tribute to John Denver is available to the world. It’s no secret, we have some big John Denver fans around here, so we’ve been eagerly waiting to hear how this masterfully curated tribute turned out. Overall, there are some stunners (Josh Ritter and Barnstar’s bluegrass Darcy Farrow) and some oddballs (the hard rocking J Mascis & Sharon Van Etten collaboration on Prisoners), but overall it’s a powerful homage.
This trailer touches a few of the really solid covers including Old Crow Medicine Show doing Back Home Again, Blind Pilot’s take on The Eagle and the Hawk, and the unbelievable duet version of Country Roads by Brandi Carlile & Emmylou Harris. You can check out a couple other trailers to hear more here: trailer #1 and trailer #2.
