Ian Tyson - Yellowhead To Yellowstone and Other Love Stories

2009 release from the singer/songwriter, his first album in four years. A tough time for Ian Tyson yields an important new album of touching, heartfelt songs. Now, thanks to a stubborn virus, Tyson has what he calls 'a new voice': grainier, grittier, and different from his former sound. The last two years have been a time of dramatic change in the life of the iconic songwriter. Going through a difficult divorce and another broken love affair, he faced his 75th birthday in September with a mixture of satisfaction and regret. Tyson's new songs reflect these two difficult years as he faces the prospect of his senior years. 'Growing old is not for wimps,' he says: and his legion of fans will understand and fight the future with him.
