Having enjoyed one career as half of the folk duo Ian & Sylvia in the 1960s, Tyson, a real-life Canadian rancher, branched out into cowboy music in the 1980s, making an authentic contribution to a genre that sees too many silver-screen cowpokes and comedic galoots. While his songs have long been covered by Judy Collins, Jerry Jeff Walker, Suzy Bogguss, and others, his albums, especially the platinum-selling Cowboyography, are prized almost as much as original Bohlin saddles in some circles, both for their artistry and their ability to capture the romance and realism of the ranch and rodeo culture. This album, recorded live over four nights in an Alberta, Canada, community hall, reprises the best of Tyson's repertoire ("Navajo Rug," "Someday Soon," "I Outgrew the Wagon") and introduces four new tunes that stand tall with their elders. At 68, Tyson's vocals may be a bit frayed around the edges, but they're still as warm and cozy as an Indian blanket, and his acoustic-trio framework fits the material as snugly as a favorite pair of pointy-toed boots. Makes for fine listening around the campfire or simply in a saddle of your own imagination. --Alanna Nash

 Great cowboy music with a Southern Alberta flavor August 15, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
For a live concert, this CD has some amazing quality. The tracks and guitar sounds are clear and free of pick and finger slide sounds. The songs and music are a tribute to the cowboy way of life, much of it a lament for its vanishing. Some unique new songs and old favorites like "Navajo Rug" make for some really enjoyable listening. The last song "Magpie" even has a reggae rhythm and I am positive that Ian develops a Jamaican accent while singing it. If you live in Southern Alberta, as I do, you will appreciate the way the music and songs evoke the landscape here, although there are tributes throughout to the Old and New West of America also. My favorite is the Mexican polka. If you like good western guitar and fiddle sounds, buy this CD, a real gem.
 It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This December 18, 2004
Okay, okay... as with any "Live" recording, there isn't the purity of the studio. In my estimation, this is what really makes this a fantastic CD. It's Ian Tyson at his best, heard the way he should be heard, live onstage.If you're a fan of "Nashville Trash", give this a listen. Even friends who aren't C&W fans love this CD. Why, because it's a work of quality and of sincere passion. The best thing he's released since "All the Good'uns"
To my ear - perfect! March 3, 2003
My first really cowboy recording and I was blown away. This guy is nearly 70, sings on key, the lyrics feel real to me, and I enjoy live recordings and this is one of the best I've heard. Despite the the theme of some of the songs there is an optimisim that shows through thus is a very upbeat album. Will now have to start backfilling with other Tyson albums.
If I could give a gift to all my friends, it would be a copy of this CD. And great photography in the liner notes, a nice add.
Tyson's Still Got It January 29, 2003
I have been listening to Ian Tyson since the 60s. His voice is still as strong as ever. Age has not diminished it at all. This is a wonderful CD for any cowboy folk fan. I especially enjoyed the live recording. I hope he is still writing and recording for a good long time.
