Joshua James plus RIVVRS

Joshua James: “There is a mystic in the mountains high above the Great Salt Lake/ He's dancin' in the heaven far below his golden gates/ He's lookin' at our cars below/ And laughin' at our rock & roll,” sings Joshua James on the first lines of “Mystic.” The singer-songwriter is based in American Fork—where he co-owns Northplatte Records—and pens these songs from his personal spiritual epicenter, Willamette Mountain. In From the Top of Willamette Mountain, James deals in the currency of mysticism, trading thoughts of life's repressiveness and his misgivings about organized religion for a search for the holy, a personal quest for transcendence or something similar. He does it openly on this, his third album.
