“And John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High.”
And Joe Walsh’s “Rocky Mountain Way”.
The story goes that Walsh came blasting into Caribou Studios in the Colorado mountains shouting something along the line of “These mountains are mind-blowing and I want to write a song!” Kenny Passarelli, the “house” bassist, said, “Need bass?” And they sat down and wrote RMW. (As told to me by Mr. Passarelli.)
