This was Ian Tyson's first solo album, in '73-- and it's
a testament to his talent that to me it sounds as fresh today as ever. It's a bit more country than the cowboy/western focus of his later stuff, and maybe not quite as psychologically complex as some of the recent stuff on, say, 18 INCHES OF RAIN or LOST HERD, but great. And as always, that voice! Some great songs too like "If She Just Helps Me," "She's My Greatest Blessing," fun 'road' song "Great Canadian Tour" & classic "Spanish Johnny." Tyson rules :)!

Although Sylvia sings background with him on this album, it is primarily a solo album. It signals a new direction for Ian as this is more of a country sound than one would normally expect to hear from Ian Tyson. But it is an excellent album that bears hearing over and over again. I haven't heard anything from Ian that I didn't enjoy so for me this is just another in a long line of great albums.

Living in South Africa, we don't get introduced to western country music much, but Traditional Country music is a style I love. For this reason, after reading about Ian Tyson via an article in "The Western Horseman", I bought my first CD of his, and now realise how much I have been missing. Ol Eon is everything I love in a country and Western album - a good series of stories, with a great melody and an exceptional voice. Now I need to go and get the rest of Ian Tyson's albums, and hope they are all the same standard. A great album for any collection in my opinion.
