The passing of Ian Tyson 2022 

RIP Ian, You will be so missed. A true Cowboy and Country singer! Canada and the world lost of wonderful icon singer.

What a wonderful career the man had, and what a great body of work he left for us. Canada is rightfully proud of this legendary, authentic artist.

Back in the 60s, I would go to sleep at night, with the stereo playing Ian and Sylvia's LP, Lovin' Sounds....

For me Ian nailed it with that cowboy country folk. Talk about a legend.

Long before I knew about western (cowboy) music, my heart yearned for it. Chris LeDoux cracked the wall to my awareness and Ian blew the lid off. What songs! So much heart and soul! From "Irving Berlin is 100 Years Old Today" to "Rockies Turn Rose" - from Someday Soon to 50 Years Ago, my heartstrings were seriously twanged. I never met him him, but am so thankful he was born and recorded such wonders!

GREAT compilation! TY 4 this!

Thanks for sharing!

Ian Tyson the storyteller. What young woman hasn't thought this thought when her father meets her beau: And when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in the younger days

I prefer to remember his music as "cowboy culture", instead of the pure garbage the hillbilly (country) music has become.
