Quote:
While he has written many memorable songs, Tyson’s signature tune is Four Strong Winds.
Recorded in 1963 with Tyson’s wife Sylvia, the song has mushroomed into an international folk classic recorded by dozens of performers and revitalized years later by Neil Young.
“That song is really not mine anymore,” Tyson said backstage before performing a set at Filberg Park that ended with Four Strong Winds.

It is true what Ian Tyson says about "Four Strong Winds" a mate of mine pulled it out of his book to perform a couple of nights ago, and had "Four Strong Winds [Neil Young]" on the heading. He then sang the Neil Young version, begining with the 'Think I'll go out Alberta' verse. When he finished I put him in the picture, Ian Tyson, not Neil Young. But he had never heard of Ian Tyson.
