Rocky Mountain Christmas is the tenth studio album and first Christmas album by American singer-songwriter John Denver, released in October 1975, featuring his warm, folksy vocals over lush orchestral arrangements that captured the spirit of Western Christmas traditions. The single "Christmas for Cowboys" became a minor hit, while the album showcases Denver's originals like "Aspenglow" and "A Baby Just Like You" alongside traditional carols transformed by his signature acoustic guitar style. The album was featured in Denver's TV special of the same name that aired December 10, 1975 on ABC, filmed on location in Aspen, Colorado, cementing this as the definitive Rocky Mountain holiday experience. Essential for country-folk collectors, John Denver fans, and anyone who understands that Christmas in the mountains hits different.
