River Music, Americana-Style
It seems that members of the Scioto River Band must listen to a lot of John Denver, because "Montana On My Mind" is exactly the kind of song he used to write: lush, romantic, Americana songwriting celebrating a state of the great mountain region (think "Wild Montana Skies" or "Rocky Mountain High", which even have slightly similar tunes to this song). This band, however, uses a female singer, and has a nice, upbeat backing band as support. The band hails from Ohio, though they must enjoy touring or vacationing in Montana. This is a great little song in the Americana songwriting genre, and I hope more keep coming.
