"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 :)!"

Ol' Eon never gets old

"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."

Another good one

"I like everything that Ian Tyson does. I've never heard anything that I don't like from him. His great voice prevails through this as in all the others. I like all of his styles from the Cowboy & Western to the folk. He is an incredible musician with an incredible voice and I think it's good that lately he's experimenting with other styles rather than sticking to the expected. His voice and his arrangements are great no matter what he does, and this is another GREAT one."
