Got a favorite song that mentions the Rocky Mountains?

Some of these may reference them in an oblique way (the continental divide)-

Across The Great Divide-Kate Wolf via Nanci Griffith & Emmylou Harris

The Blue Canadian Rockies-The Byrds

Night Rider's Lament-Nanci Griffith

Get Out Of Denver-Bob Seger

Rockies Turn Rose-Ian Tyson

Mucky Pup already mentioned Townes' Colorado Girl. Here's Steve Earle's tribute to Townes, which also mentions Colorado

Fort Worth Blues-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4WOys7sWvU

Kicking myself for missing Boulder To Birmingham, and kudos to Lucy for posting it. Its Emmylou's elegy to Gram Parsons...

This one came to me while answering another question-

10 Degrees & Getting Colder-Tony Rice (written by Gordon Lightfoot)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nikO4Yls52Y

thought I'd post Tony's version since he can no longer sing. He interprets Lightfoot better than anyone else.

1.Rocky Mountain High:By John Denver

#2.Rocky Mountain Way:By Joe Walsh

Well, my favorite, always homesick-inducing one, is the Rick Roberts/Flying Burrito Brothers version of Colorado (although Linda Ronstadt did an ok cover)

and then there's just about everything John Denver ever did.

But since those have already been mentioned, I'll say Things to Do in Denver when You're Dead, by Warren Zevon

and The Blizzard, by Judy Collins (heard her do this one live a couple of years ago, second row in Leadville's tiny little restored Tabor Opera House)

Since the Canadian Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park are an hours drive from here, we're actually heading out to do a little skating on Lake Louise this weekend!

"Rocky Mountain Home" by The Stampeders...cool 70's band from Calgary...

The Canadian band Triumph did an excellent cover of Joe's "Rocky Mountain Way"...

Can you even see the Rockies in South Colorado? I'm not sure, my geography sucks.

I'm missing someone who's there too :( Years ago I found this album (and another) at Sears for $3, in a milk crate marked "clearance". Score! :) The song is about missing someone, and also mentions a mountain and a Colorado town (obviously).

Boulder To Birmingham - Emmylou Harris
