"Yellowstone"

John's brandnew song
"Yellowstone / Coming Home"


  • "Yellowstone" had just been written by John, for the upcoming PBS special he had been working on. The special is called "Reunion - Mind And Nature" and deals with the re-introduction of the wolves to Yellowstone National Park. The song is a beautiful, haunting song that conjures up images of the wolf, including that lonely haunting mid-night howl that fills every camper with fear and delight. I hope he had already recorded it in studio! (The TV special is planned to be aired next spring.)

    Oh the Yellowstone
    Oh the buffalo free
    Oh my brother the wolf
