艺人介绍

by Sandra Brennan and Michael McCallHalf of the early-60s folk group Ian & Sylvia, Ian Tyson retreated from performing and recording after the duo disbanded in the mid-70s to become a rancher in the foothills of Southern Alberta, Canada. He quietly returned to music-making in the 1980s, releasing a series of albums that focused on detailed songs about the concerns of the working cowboy.Tyson was born in Victoria, British Columbia. As a child he was involved in rodeo, not music — he didnt learn to play the guitar until he was recovering from rodeo-related injuries. In the late 50s, he began performing as a folk singer. In 1961, he met singer/songwriter Sylvia Fricker and the two musicians began performing together; they also married three years later. Ian & Sylvia and their band, Great Speckled Bird, became popular on the folk scene and released their self-titled debut album in 1962. In 1963, they released Four Strong Winds; the title track, written by Tyson, became a folk standard. Ian & Sylvia successfully recorded together through the mid-70s. The duo also began hosting a television show, Nashville North, which became the Ian Tyson Show when the couple split up in the middle of the decade. After Ian & Sylvias break-up, Tyson recorded OlEon. He temporarily retired from recording in 1979 to work his ranch, but returned with Old Corrals and Sagebrush in 1983. In 1984, he toured with Ricky Skaggs and also released an eponymous album. Tyson released a third album, Cowboyography, two years later, and in 1991, he released another popular Canadian album, And Stood There Amazed, which contained the hits Springtime in Alberta and Black Nights. Subsequent releases include 1994s Eighteen Inches of Rain, 1996s All the Good Uns and 1999s Lost Herd. Tyson released Live at Longview in 2002, followed by Songs from the Gravel Road in 2005.
