Various - Magnificent Mountain

Review by Elizabeth Patel

Magnificent Mountain, a compilation album by Various, is a must-have for anyone who loves folk and acoustic music. The album features a diverse range of artists, each with their unique style and sound, yet all tied together by a common theme of the mountain. The tracks transport the listener to the serene and majestic landscapes of the mountains, with their soothing melodies and introspective lyrics.

The album opens with "Mountain Song" by Tim O'Brien, a beautiful ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the tracks. The album then takes the listener on a journey through different moods and emotions, from the upbeat and cheerful "Mountain Jig" by The Chieftains to the haunting and melancholic "Black Mountain Lullaby" by Kathy Mattea.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver, a classic song that captures the spirit and beauty of the mountains. The album also features lesser-known but equally impressive tracks such as "Mountain Air" by Peter Rowan and "Blue Mountain" by James King.

Summary by Elizabeth Patel

Magnificent Mountain is a well-curated collection of songs that celebrates the beauty and grandeur of the mountains. It is a perfect album to listen to while driving through scenic routes or simply to unwind and relax. Highly recommended for fans of folk and acoustic music.
