Just a quick note to say that Ian Tyson's new album, Lost Herd, is now out
in Canada (on the estimable Stony Plain label, for which I flack and toot
horns).
Ol' Eon is back for the first collection of new material since
Eighteen Inches of Rain in 1994 (apart from the best-of collection All the
Good Uns, which had two new songs). Fans will know what to expect -
fionely crafted songs about the real west, rather than the myth. The songs
were cut in Nashville and Toronto -Ian hates both places with a passion,
but he knows where the players are!)
The record will be released in the US by Vanguard in March;
hard-core fans who can't wait may care to e-mail Stony Plain
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), And if some of you would like to read the
(ahem, modest cough) brilliantly hand-crafted, updated and un-hype-like bio
material by yours truly, in which Ian talks about his gloomy take on the
changing west, please e-mail me, and it'll be there in a flash.
Yours truly
Richard
PS: Now planning his road trip to SXSW. Where's this so-called fluff list
that covers this, and Twangfest, and the fashion sense of today's country
icons?
