It's another world, the West. It's not the city, it's not the Internet, it's not your office, your house, or your new clothes. It's hard weather, horses, cattle, space and sky. There's time in the West - time for stories, legends, myths and songs. And it's Ian Tyson's world. And now, with Carnero Vaquero, Tyson's 13th album in the Stony Plain catalogue, the legendary singer and songwriter brings his world to yours. Ten memorable songs with tunes you can remember, stories that resonate, and a resolute, strong voice. The album title: "Carnero" is the Spanish word for ram, and "Vaquero" is Spanish for cowboy, and, indeed, the cowboy tradition in the south-western United States. Now 81, Tyson is the preeminent western singer in North America. He continues to tour across Canada and the U. S. and still manages the Tyson Ranch south of Calgary. Key tracks: Colorado Horses, Darcy Farrow, The Flood, Cottonwood Canyon. Recorded (mostly live off the floor) at the Stone House on the Tyson Ranch. 10 songs ranging from the traditional ("Doney Girl") to co-writes with Calgary's Kris Demeanor. Five new Tyson songs, a tuneful remake of "Darcy Farrow" (originally recorded in the early '60s Ian & Sylvia days). "Wolves No Longer Sing" is written with Tom Russell - the pair co-wrote "Navajo Rug," one of Tyson's biggest hits. The distinctive Tyson voice has recovered from the accident that damaged it in 2007.
