Ian Tyson, the Canadian folk legend turned cowboy storyteller who penned 'Four Strong Winds' as one half of Ian & Sylvia, has died at age 89.
Posted: Dec. 29, 2022 4:42PMCountry music singer Ian Tyson performs while being inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in Calgary, Alta., Thursday, Sept. 5, 2019.
The singer-songwriter was a part of the influential folk movement in Toronto with his first wife, Sylvia Tyson. But he divided much of his life and career between two passions largely unrelated to his folkie past: living on his southern Alberta ranch and pursuing songs about the cowboy life.“He put a lot of time and energy into his songwriting and felt his material very strongly, especially the whole cowboy lifestyle,” she told The Canadian Press on Thursday.
They moved to New York together where they met manager Albert Grossman — who steered Peter, Paul and Mary and would soon count Bob Dylan as a client. He signed Ian & Sylvia to Vanguard Records. In 1969, the Tysons explored that new fusion by forming the country-rock outfit Great Speckled Bird, whose influential self-titled debut dropped in 1970.
Things were going well in Tyson’s personal life, too. In 1978, he met a waitress named Twylla Dvorkin. She was only 17 at the time, but Tyson — then in his mid-40s — pursued a relationship with her. The couple married in 1986 and had a daughter, Adelita, a year later. They divorced in 2008.
