Wonderful Step Back To The Original Folk Duo Of The Sixties!,
By Barron Laycock "Labradorman" (Temple, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Four Strong Winds (Audio CD)
This is an album that is an absolute necessity for the real folk enthusiast, and also a wonderful listening experience for anyone interested in a wonderful and very talented folk duo performing just as they emerged into their own special limelight. Both Ian and Sylvia are Canadians, and at the time of this album were husband and wife. The music is simply magical, although a bit uneven, but the title cut of "Four Strong Winds" is worth the price of the CD alone. I also especially like "Spanish Is The Loving Tongue", a song Judy Collins has done a wonderful cover of. The whole song cycle on the CD is interesting, eclectic, and worth the listen. A few of the songs take a little time to warm up to and appreciate, but a few plays will have you unexpectedly humming them in the car until you can memorize the words. Incidentally, everyone from Neil Young to John Denver to Judy Collins has recorded "Four Strong Winds", but although I prefer Judy Collin's version to all the others, the one on this CD is the definitive version. After all, Ian Tyson wrote it! Enjoy!

Folk Music Supreme,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Four Strong Winds (Audio CD)
I first heard them play when I attended a concert more than 30 years ago. Immediately afterward, I bought this album and then all others as they became available. My tastes in folk music are rather eclectic. For whatever it may be worth to those who read this review, I would rank Ian and Sylkvia in the company of Leadbelly, the Weavers, Bud and Travis, Odetta, and others who finally received appropriate recognition in the 1960s. Every cut on this album is superb.

Strong to This Day,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Four Strong Winds (Audio CD)
IAN & SYLVIA are a duet with deep roots in the folk revival of the 60's. Their wide range of music spans the traditional (Cruel Mother, Silver Dagger, etc.) to the more contemporary (Thirsty Boots, Four Strong Winds, Song for Canada.) Ian's attractive masculine tenor blends well with Sylvia's "purest" alto. They are noted for their flawless timing and vocal clarity. Songs range from the bittersweet to the jocular.
