Their musical union led to the band Great Speckled Bird, whose influence resonates today, said Neil MacGonigill, who managed Tyson in the 1980s.
Ian and Sylvia’s compositions, including Someday Soon and You Were on My Mind, have been covered by numerous artists, including Dylan, Judy Collins and fellow Canadian Neil Young. He garnered a Juno Award for Best Country Male Artist in 1987, and was nominated for multiple musical honours.Canadian singer Ron Sexsmith paid tribute to Tyson in a tweet that placed the Albertan’s place in Canada’s music pantheon in perspective.. I had the honour of meeting him at the Canadian Country Music Awards in 2001 as part of a Lightfoot tribute with Anne Murray too. Big night for me to meet all of these legends,” he tweeted Thursday.
“He was one of the most authentic and genuine artists ever – and because of him – Canadian music was put on the map and respected worldwide,” wrote Kissel.
