This 1998 reissue contains 5 bonus tracks (including the previously
unreleased "White Christmas") not included on the original release.
John Denver's music always had a warm, home-spun quality to it, so it isn't surprising that his 1975 holiday effort, Rocky Mountain Christmas, is a wonderfully low-key and friendly Christmas album. Divided between classic carols and new numbers, such as the fine "Aspenglow" and "Christmas for Cowboys," the album is an appealing, pretty record, perfect for late nights by the fireside. The 1998 CD reissue adds five bonus tracks: "Jingle Bells," "White Christmas," "The Music is You," "Perhaps Love," and "Dreamland Express." ~ Rodney Batdorf

Still my favorite. I have many, many Christmas cd's, but this is my very favorte. John Denver's "Aspenglow" is so beautiful as is his voice on every song. Trust me - you won't be disappointed. This album will be a treasure for years to come! Submitted by Holly (South Carolina) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
additional selections While it was a treat to hear this collection of Christmas songs from John Denver, I was a bit put off by the last two extra selections. They are fine songs but have absolutely nothing to do with the Christmas season. They rather put me off. Submitted by jdscummings (Montpelier, Vermont) Was This Review Helpful?
