"If you truly love the western grasslands and sagebrush steppe, then you'll love Ian Tyson's music - all of it - because he'll take you back to it like no other artist could do. You'll smell the dust and sage; you'll feel the blazing sun and stinging sleet; and you'll hear the sound of the wind in the wire. The pairie's infinite expansiveness, its quiet and loneliness and unquenchable thirstiness, its midday deadness and its spring to life at low sun, it's nourishing protection for the lucky and its steadfast brutality for the unprepared. It's all there in Tyson's muscic."
