Sylvia has an earth-mother voice, Ian is a good picker and writes great songs, and they had a Canadian accent to their music which made them different from the legions of American groups.
Ian bought a ranch in Alberta with the money he made from "Four Strong Winds." Just like in the song, Sylvia chose not to live out there where the "winds blow lonely" and there "ain't too much to do." That was the end of Ian and Sylvia.
Ian's "Play One More," surely his most uninspired composition (hobbled, moreover, with a clumsy arrangement), comes inexplicably out of moth balls, leaving the listener to wonder why a neglected masterpiece like "Four Rode by" was left hanging in the closet.

What distinguished Ian and Sylvia was a driving respect for music, and Ian strong roots in real Western music, and a musical integrity and ingenuity that surpassed that of most "folksingers" of their period.
Eventually the legacy of Ian and Sylvia would be their style more than their songs as male and female harmonies made groups like the Mamas and the Papas, the Jefferson Airplane, and Fairport Convention successful.
However, keep in mind that Ian and Sylvia were more album oriented that most artists, so enjoying what you hear on this collection should be taken as a nudge in the direction of their other albums, especially the work from the early Sixties.

 Ian & Sylvia
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 ages, 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.
Ian covers a fair amount of ground, from the slow waltz "Flies In The Bottle" to the rockin' "Love What You're Doing Child," but the compositions are less than memorable.

Sylvia's dramatic "Southern Comfort" is wonderful, "Didn't I lie, lie, lie, didn't I?" The amazing thing about this music is that it is aging so well; it still sounds vital and relevant these decades later.
The quality, uniqueness and professionalism of Ian and Sylvia were compelling in its time and continue to captivate listeners globally ; and indeed there are very few duos out there today which have this range or depth in vocals and energy.

Ian & Sylvia hit their stride on their second LP, which features the first in a line of talented second guitarists (John Herald) they would use to augment their original guitar-autoharp-basslineup.
One was their version of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," one of the first obscure Dylan tunes to be committed to vinyl.
The title cut, an Ian Tyson original, would prove to be the duo's first song to influence rock musicians, as the Searchers covered it shortly afterwards with a reverent version that was quite close to the original; Neil Young revived it in the late '70s.

It's good to have this four-CD box set of everything Ian and Sylvia did in the studio for Vanguard, as their valuable contributions to folk and folk-rock are (several decades later, anyway) underrated.
The first upgrading of the Ian and Sylvia CD catalog is an improved version of The Essential Ian and Sylvia, with cleaner mastering and some songs added (most notably a pair of numbers -- the best here -- from the Live at Newport disc issued in the 1990s) for a total of 25.
The sound is an improvement over the earlier CD versions, although the duo's music was so utterly underproduced -- what annotator Ed Ward calls a hallmark of their sound -- that this is represented by quieter background, rathe… Read More »

To fans of the Ian Rankin crime novels on which the series is based, Stott's assuming of the role may've been more in tune with the original books.
Of the two, Canadian couple Ian Tyson & Sylvia Fricker were arguably the more folky: their first 1963 Vanguard release was primarily composed of traditional British and Canadian songs, while their own later compositions frequently looked to cowboy and rodeo themes, something that Tyson would more extensively explore in his solo career.
Sylvia's "You Were on My Mind" was a big folk-pop hit in the hands of Californians We Five, while Ian's migrant farm-worker song, "Four Strong Winds," is practically the second Canadian national anthem.
