Ian Tyson - Yellowhead to Yellowstone and other Love StoriesHis voice, once as well-worn as a warm saddle, is now as craggy as his beloved Alberta foothills. But Tyson, the grand old man of Canadian song, still sounds more authentic than a ponderosa full of today’s cowboy pretenders. His latest album features his usual mix of loving tributes to mythic buckaroos and evocative tales of the land, of deep canyons, rolling hills and vast horizons. And, because he’s also suffered personal setbacks of late, some of his most moving songs deal with his own palpable heartache.
