Blue Mountain, Bob Weir's first solo studio album since Heaven Help the Fool back in 1978, came out on Legacy on September 30, 2016, and it turned out to be the last solo album he made. The Grateful Dead's founding rhythm guitarist went back to his teens for it, to the time he spent working as a ranch hand in Wyoming at fifteen, and the songs sound like it: cowboy folk and country under wide skies, with a campfire hush and Weir's weathered voice sitting easy in the saddle.
It was his first studio record of any kind since RatDog's Evening Moods in 2000, and it climbed to No. 14 on the Billboard 200, his highest-charting album ever. He kept the songs alive onstage with Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros, and "Only a River" is the one radio's countdowns latched onto.
