	Rambles: Ian Tyson, Songs from the Gravel Road (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tyson has been recording since 1963, when he and Sylvia Fricker (whom he subsequently married) released the first Ian & Sylvia album on Vanguard.
		Ian & Sylvia were the most visible Canadian act on the 1960s folk scene, arriving before Gordon Lightfoot but covering two of his songs before Lightfoot himself cut them and went on to become something of a pop star.
		I say this knowing that Tyson, a jazz fan, has little patience for those of us who are not enamored of his horn experiments; he calls us "Little Joe the Wranglers," which is Western-speak, I guess, for mouldy figs.

	Ian & Sylvia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The real-life Mitch and Mickie, Ian and Sylvia were a Canadian folk duo that flourished in the early 60s, married in the mid-60s, faded in the early 70s, divorced in the mid-70s, and went on to solo careers.
		By the time they cut their debut, Ian and Sylvia had been singing these songs for months, and it sounds like it: their interpretations, from the familiar ("C.C. Rider") to the obscure ("Rambler Gambler"), are confident and idiosyncratic, often with the pair singing dual, asynchronous leads.
		The Tysons left Vanguard for MGM and began the nomadic phase of their career, much as Bobby Bonds left the Giants and with similar results.

		Tyson, never one to cower from change, embarked on a solo career that would become legendary on its own merits.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Ian Tyson rides again
		Ian Tyson was born in Victoria and spent a lot of time singing in the coffee houses of Toronto as half of the legendary folk duo Ian & Sylvia.
		For the past couple of decades, Tyson has been balancing music with horses and cattle, writing songs inspired by the West in an old house on his ranch and travelling around the country to play them.
		The result is a uniquely Tyson hybrid, with his mellow voice singing about working on the rodeo and the oil rig, losing love and not making it home for Christmas -- in Silver Bell, about his Texas-based, rodeo-riding daughter -- accompanied by not just pedal steel and fiddle, but trumpets and soprano sax.

	REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ian Tyson doesn't try to sell an image as the last of a breed; he embodies it.
		Yet Tyson is a modern cowboy who, while yearning for the past, certainly doesn't pretend he's in the middle of a different century.
		The echo on Tyson's voice is set on "a little to strong," but that's about the only blemish to the excellent sonic production.
