- The version of this song that initially caught my attention was released by Judy Collins way back in 1968. It wasn't until a couple years later that I finally heard Ian and Sylvia do the original version (from 1963) - which then made me a big fan of that Canadian folk duo, along with all of the great material they wrote and produced. So this was an important find to me and led to me learning about a lot of different artists and a whole bunch of new material.
It is also the song and production that really brought my attention to the beauty of the pedal steel. After years of hearing pedal steel played much differently on most old country records, this just had a different and amazing sound and feel. It's also why, after doing this song for well over 50 years I still love singing this song and our great steel player, Bruce Derr, never misses on this one.
This is also one of the first songs (after which there will be many more to follow) that we have produced at our new music video production facility in York, Maine. It was filmed and recorded at Stone House Studio in the beautiful Blind Mule Barn (in honor of next door neighbor, Jack - a friendly old blind mule). This amazing looking and sounding A/V facility was personally constructed by our awesome drummer and singer, Rob Kneeland and Rob and I have been installing and learning all of the related tech that go into the making of beautiful looking and sounding music video.
Rounding out the band are Todd (the King of all Todds) Robertson on upright bass and myself on guitar and vocals.

My brother played guitar for Ian for a short while. Like Gordon Lightfoot - Ian was one of our homegrown heroes who STAYED here - and we miss them both . . .
Great Canadian artists who wrote great songs covered by so many other artists.
Who is your brother? I`ve known all Ian`s sideman?
You’re darn right sir …. Along with Neil and Stomping Tom they brought Canada 🇨🇦 to the limelight light internationally …. World class super talented song writers , musicians and artists ….. there should be a Canada Day assigned to all of them …🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I was very surprised a few years ago to learn Ian wrote 'Four Strong Winds'. And now I learn he wrote this classic. Just wow!
I acquired "Four strong winds " on LP a few years back. Ian and Sylvia. Funny how on the cover he looks more like a beatnick then than the later cowboy image.
@@jaredclawson1813Ian and wife Sylvia had a tv show when I was young. Had great artists on it ( believe Bob Dylan appeared once).
@@johnlennon8653 Never got to check that out but would sure like to do so.
Well I'm Canadian, so welcome to the club
😊where have you been???
Whole band had a great feel w this song! Thumbs up ya'll.
Nice job fellas. I've heard many versions of this song over the years - including the original when it first came out. Your's is right up there with the best!
Great rendition of Ian’s song super …. Thanks bud 👍
I've covered this for years based on the Suzy Bogguss version
This one is great!
You know, sometimes the cover of a song turns out even better than the original. This is one such case. Glad to see you still killin' it Mr. Watson!!
This is simple and pure! So great to listen to! Superb cover!
Vocals are in the pocket
Great version
Uh, no, he's hitting the notes but there's no sweetness and light. Sorry
Great song and singer. WELL DONE Spot on my Friend.🪗🪗🪗 Mick.
That's great, the point of view of him. Superb job!!!
Just visited the saloon where Tyson's guitar and hat still occupies the stage in Longview, AB. "Longview bard"! Of course, this was a decade before he settled down to ranching life in the early 1970s.
Sounds very good, and love the steel!
Man! Bruce you sound great! Can’t wait to play with you again this summer at the steel guitar show. Great version of the song.
In at #142 --- some really good musicians here ... smooth and working together ...
Wow! All I can say is Wow!
Well now you all are the Sung Heros. Great version. I've been on a 24/7 melancholy song thing recently...heartbreak thing 💔. This ain't helping but anyway....
Lovely!
This is the most beautiful version of this song I’ve heard! I’ve loved you and Todd live but this studio quality and full band is fantastic. I want you guys on vinyl so I can enjoy you here in Germany 😅

Hello from Indiana, old friend!
From Dale, Bonnie and Tyson.
Classic.
Great mix.Steel tone is really nice.This has always been a great tune.I may have brought the bass up a bit more.
Actually written by Sylvia Tyson, Ian’s wife at the time
No, it`s all Ian`s "write"
Maybe some confusion wirh a song Sylvia wrote: "You Were On My Mind," covered with some alterations it become a hit for We Five.
