This is the best album that I have ever heard. I love Ian Tyson's song: "Four Strong Winds" as well. I remembered hearing it back in 1988 at the opening of the XV Olympic Winter Games from Calgary. He is the best cowboy singer in North America! I recommend this album to those who want to enjoy Canadian Country Music at its best. This is one album that I truly enjoy.

If you truly love the western grasslands and sagebrush steppe, then you'll love Ian Tyson's music - all of it - because he'll take you back to it like no other artist could do. You'll smell the dust and sage; you'll feel the blazing sun and stinging sleet; and you'll hear the sound of the wind in the wire. The pairie's infinite expansiveness, its quiet and loneliness and unquenchable thirstiness, its midday deadness and its spring to life at low sun, it's nourishing protection for the lucky and its steadfast brutality for the unprepared. It's all there in Tyson's muscic.

Ian Tyson is THE BEST at bringing us Western music that tells the real story. No Roy Rogers/Gene Autry stuff here. "I Outgrew the Wagon" is a song that tells you what it's really like to live that life. "Wind in the Wire" and "Four Strong Winds" are also great songs. Folks, Ian Tyson is what the REAL cowboys (not of the rodeo variety) listen to out on the ranges in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Wyoming and Montana. I know. I used to be one myself.

From top to bottom the best cowboy stuff ever. I outgrew the wagon makes me cry and cowboys don't cry breaks your heart. Go get it...you won't regret it!

I have most of Ian Tyson's CD's, but this is the one I listen to over and over again. I especially like Cowboys Don't Cry and I Outgrew the Wagon.

This is the best CD I have ever bought!! What a great voice! I just discovered Ian Tyson on [...]. I was looking for the song Four Strong Winds sung by Neil Young and found out Ian Tyson wrote it. After hearing Ian sing it, I knew I had to have his CD!!!

Purchased this after reading about Ian Tyson in Cowboys & Indians magazine. "Four Strong Winds" was voted #1 song of the century by Canadians...another reason for buying this cd. We had heard it years ago when we worked on a ranch near Cody, Wyoming. Every song tells a story - we love every one!!!

Ian sounds like he is in the studio with this CD...not as good as an open mike in front of folks, but he still has the ability to
sell a song...and he is the #1 Western Singer this Century...so it is a keeper.
He is half of Ian & Sylvia Team that broke up in 77...but the music still moves along well and is excellent.
