“Wild Montana Skies” was written and released by John Denver on his 1983 album It’s About Time. Denver recorded this as a duet with country music great Emmylou Harris. I was thrilled when Marsha McConchie MacMartin agreed to join me for this project, and while I’m no John Denver, I believe Marsha gave Emmylou a run for her money. This started out as just me and my 12-string, but once Marsha came aboard I thought the song deserved more, so I added a six-string and a bass to fill it out a bit. Montana has always been a bucket list destination for me, and I now have it in my sights for a 2026 road trip.
