Railroad Earth – The John Denver Letters (7" Vinyl)
Product Details
Railroad Earth has always carried a deep reverence for the acoustic and folk traditions that shaped American roots music, and Todd Sheaffer's songwriting has long reflected that same plainspoken intimacy John Denver brought to his best work. Hearing these two artists meet across time, Sheaffer breathing life into lyrics Denver never finished, feels like a natural extension of that lineage rather than a novelty.
Railroad Earth has composed music for never-released John Denver lyrics, with two songs set for digital release Earth Day, April 22, 2019 and 7" vinyl to be available at music retailers Spring 2019. While preparing handwritten lyrics of classic songs for display in a 2017 Grammy Museum exhibit, Denver's management came across notebooks containing poems and ideas for songs that were never completed during Denver's life. Todd Sheaffer, front man for Railroad Earth, set the lyrics to music and he and the band recorded two new songs, "If You'll Be My Lady, " and "Through The Night."
