Raven Singer
Posted: Sun May 05, 2013 8:08 pmWhen we went to the Ian Tyson concert in February, I got his latest CD without giving it too much thought, and listened to it a few times. His voice is actually better now, since he's had surgery on his vocal cords, and it took a while to get used to the rougher sound on the CD.
Then, in late February, my Dad, who's 94, took a fall, his heart condition started getting worse, and he died about a month later. During this time, I would drive to Denver about twice a week, 100 miles each way. On the way home in the dark, I would listen to Raven Singer, and it really helped. The Circle is Through would always make me cry, in a good way. Blueberry Susan made me think of my Dad's Scottish Canadian ancestors. Some songs were spooky & dark (Charles Goodnight's Grave and Winterkill), and the rest of them were exotic & beautiful. How does he do it...he's almost eighty. God bless Ian Tyson ♥
