MC Horses ~~~ Ian Tyson

[@richardfowler4358]

Ian went home to the Lord 12/29/22. Thanks for the songs cowboy. You where one of my favorites. And brought a lot of joy riding down the road singing along with you.

[@SHANNONBARTLETT-fy4vp]

Thank you Ian...the epitome of a cowboy poet. My Dad was like you also. He wore riding boots and western hats...and he spun stories/yarns in an old- fashioned way. Guys like you built our western Canadian culture. So...thank you.

[@connor4366]

hopefully after a peaceful Christmas surrounded by family

[@lawrenceyoung7614]

Ian Tyson Has been my favorite singer of all time. Way back when it was Ian n Sylvia... He is a great singer n song writer he puts life into every song.. God Bless

[@garenmartens]

I was so intrigued by this song, I studied the MC Ranch story then took a 4000 mile road trip from Oklahoma to look at the old ranch, have a beer at the Adel store, and find Mr. Kitt's gravesite. An incredible story.

[@knotbumper]

You aren't the only one. Wife and I had a beer and fries at the Adel Store summer 2019.

[@lovechild89507]

If you're interested, there's a great book about the MC Ranch, "A Hole in the Sky".

[@arober2]

All of the above…..is frickin’ amazing! If only you could have visited where Banjo was …. He didn’t go easy

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

The Adel is closed now, as I understand.

[@summerlakephotog8239]

When I look out my window every morning, off in the distance I see the old Kittredge barn in Summer Lake, Oregon. I helped move the old ranch house where William “Bill Kit” Kittredge senior summered and hayed long before I was born. He pioneered the MC Ranch and many smaller ones. He is an unsung giant of the American West. Ian’s song makes this lost history a little less unsung😃❗️

[@rogerstuart2592]

I was lucky enough to live for 3 years at the base of Picture Rock Pass on the Silver Lake side in the mid 80's. Some of the best years of my life.

[@christinarizzo2412]

Tears in my eyes....history! Let's all remember.

[@goosebradford9999]

Thanks for a wonderful; compilation! Had to go to town in 1984. First time I heard this song I sobbed.

[@paulcraig6404]

Goose Bradford

[@patticooke9300]

One of my favorites over past 25 yrs Ol Banjo took his trailer apart dam I LOVE THIS

[@deabadami4435]

Me too - and I still do, every single time I hear it.

[@billdentskyhighdrones]

I was at that sale. Exciting but sad day, the passing of an era. The world will never be the same.

[@edwardgilpin2453]

Met Ian after a concert in Peterborough Ontario in 2014, I told him MC Horses was my favourite song, he said it was his also.

[@ronaldmorneault1321]

Great Song , Thank you . Mostly I listen to singers Ian Tyson, Dave Stamey , Chris Ledoux,, and Red Steagall, this is great music.

[@mjuhanil]

Ronald Morneault You should have a listen to Corn Lund- Truth comes out

[@happyanderson2]

My kind of music, too.

[@robertmoore1123]

You should listen to tom russle.

[@garysatterlee7430]

My brother and I live in ST. Marie’s Idaho seventy years same place the Benewha road We have fifty years of D N A in three running quarter horse studs . This song lets me know just how blest I’ve been , because we picked out and road all there relatives .

[@TandRprojects]

this song was played at my best friend tate smith's funeral this song has never been the same ever since

[@normhall1622]

This is the epitome of Western music. Ian is one of a kind.

[@travleer1]

I played this for my German roommate in college and he loved it. asked for a copy. its a great song in itself, thought it means something special to some of us.

[@anne91276]

Its so nice that Ian Tyson went back to his roots even though he is divorced from his first wife, Sylvia Tyson. He's a very talented country singer and songwriter. And most Americans like me truly appreciate Canadian country music. It makes American country music seem heavily modified that it literally lost its true country roots. Its time for most American country music artists to learn something from a legend like Ian Tyson.

[@billmarme2480]

When you know how to use Google lol

[@arober2]

Ian Tyson was a real working cowboy and that shows in his songs

[@jimmylizabethwolfenden2503]

RIP Ian Tyson. Never be another like him!!!!

[@broadleafrag]

Very nicely done, putting authentic photos to a great song.

[@kathleenpeet1194]

Ian is simply the best.... even at 81!

[@happyanderson2]

I love this song. Ian Tyson is such a great writer and performer. The first time I ever heard this song was by Brenn Hill, a talented young Utah singer/songwriter. Both versions are awesome.

[@sageshaffer7482]

I love this song, it brings out the little cowboy in all of us :p

[@vivianperino5006]

Sage Shaffer ...gitterdun,,,

[@JD_Mac]

Listening to this song bawling my eyes out hoping I don't have to sell my grandparents place one day

[@johnspizziri1919]

you wouldnt be the first- trust me- biggest mistake I ever made, even though I had to

[@jeremygobbato738]

You will

[@xasjodeau]

Thank you so much for putting all of these good Ian Tyson songs on YT. I love him. I guess you do, too. This is a special favorite of mine. Thank you, thank you.

[@DancingWhiteBuffalo]

I was one of the last men on the MC and I didn't see many pictures of the cavy I knew at all.

[@keenankelley187]

If you still here I’d love to hear about the MC

[@bobanpen1]

Those are stock photos

[@keenankelley187]

You still hear? Like to hear about the mighty MC

[@keenankelley187]

You still around I’d love to hear about the MC

[@chuckcurl1156]

this is what real cowboy music is god bless ian

[@vivianperino5006]

I’m a great Ian Tyson fan....I’m old ...but remember all the lyrics....god bless... 💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️🎹🎹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸🎻🎻🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

[@celticjh]

This is real life! Enhanced by Ian Tyson's singing, but, real life never the less! Love you Ian Tyson! :)

[@jimcardwell6907]

I branded for an outfit that grazed old MC land. Lunch was of course at the Adel store. A good poem came out of it.

[@larrysims9053]

I love this. Grew up on big cow outfit. Can ride any bucking horse.

[@dlpine71]

Lin .. Nice song .. nice images .. nice video!! Five stars!! David

[@equity44]

@ akountreegal Fantastic and creative slide show that really enhanced one of Ian's best songs. Like one of your other commenters, I've followed Ian's recording career since 1963. I have all the Ian & Sylvia albums and all of Ian's solo albums. I don't prefer one period of his career over any other. He truly is one of the most prolific and creative songwriters of the 20th and 21st centuries.

[@ronmainemarine]

Thanks for video , always enjoy Ian Tyson. This song is special , I too have sat the hurricane deck of some good horses and some rank, and some mornings good horse could be a bit rank.

[@dylanpelo]

I had to look it up, but the MC outfit was real. Adds just another layer to this amazing song.

[@MrBuckwilliam]

thanks lin, this is awesome. it's on my favorite ian tyson album, "all the good'uns" :) mister tyson has been a fave of mine since i was knee high to a grasshopper. thank you for posting

[@mitchellrowley8663]

I guess this outfits history. Rest easy Cowboy

[@Duder807]

History. I've had a beer at the Adell Inn. History.

[@bobanpen1]

You mean store not inn right?

[@preppergirl6173]

A legend ❤

[@danargraves7130]

I have always loved this song and to see this video perfectly timed with the music does pull on my heart.

[@olgasparky]

Ian sang this in Pendleton, and it was so good!!!!!

[@hitchhikrr]

ian tyson is the best singing cowboy music

[@hopplaschorsch]

5 thumbs up :-) thanks for posting this great song, impressiv pictures

[@iraotley9350]

Thank you for the video... great job!

[@davidpowell7803]

One of many of my favourite Tyson tunes

[@lizmartinez9195]

I luv it when my handsome husband sings Ian Tyson songs to me .. (:

[@vivianperino5006]

liz martinez ...You should luv your husband ....

[@Crawfish47]

Great Creative job! Hard work I bet too.

[@aledmonds1737]

sang this in recent Portland concert. still as good as ever. no one realizes how influential Oregon ranching was to the history of the West. too bad Oregon has become a Lefty liberal cesspool and anything East of the Cascades is considered expendable.

[@joenadeau9557]

Bob Boise III Why politicize a great song and way of life? The song is about change, missing and respecting the past, wondering quietly between the lines about the memories that the future will bring. Let the song sing…….

[@gwynnevans1282]

+Joe Nadeau - I agree with you 100% Joe!

[@dundonrl]

+Joe Nadeau because there are those of us from Oregon that remember the log trucks rolling through town, hearing the talkie tooters echoing off the hills and the snarl of chain saws bringing down the timber. The REAL Oregon, not the politically correct liberal left that have taken over the best state in the Union and turned it into a cess pool of sodomy and hipsters. THAT'S why he and I are upset.

[@LadyNolaJ]

Secede like Northern Ca and Southern Or are trying to do - to form the state of Jefferson! I hope they're successful - getting a lot of support right now! "The recent movement for statehood started on September 3, 2013, when the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 in favor of withdrawal from California to form a proposed state named Jefferson. ... On January 15, 2015, three more counties, Glenn, Tehama, and Yuba, submitted their official declarations as well."

[@danargraves7130]

Fantasize about your brown shirt, white pure, destroy everything "Jefferson" all you want. It will never happen. It is not in the constitution to succeed only to enter. If he were alive today he would kick all your asses.

[@ItsWaldo]

Great song and pics !

[@looselatigo]

Nice montage. The song is a favorite.

[@Nefarioso]

Very well done., thanks.

[@MrBarnardRoom12]

I have created many a video put to music. You did very well. Love the song and you did it justice.

[@dscowboy10]

Unfortunatly, with this bad economy, more of the big remudas for top ranch and performance horses are selling out for pennies on the dollor. With low prices and high feed bills I Hope I can hold on to my small brood band of good mares and my two good studs, otherwise this outfit is history...

[@tpeterhern5480]

Great first time I've seem it !

[@bobmirabile9400]

great man and his music

[@yatyas02]

Awesome - many thanks for doing this!

[@travleer1]

one his later works, but one of his greatest IMO.

[@lawrenceyoung7614]

Beautiful song

[@janasymonds6403]

I love this song ever

[@sheilapendley1716]

Thank You!

[@travleer1]

I actually remember some of the faces in this video, though I don't know them. over a few block and bridle excursions.

[@teeddd]

Thanks Lin, very nicely done, Cya

[@silverstar600]

good song and some good ole stockyards pictures

[@xasjodeau]

P.S. Thanks, too, for including Jack and Ennis. Nice touch!

[@jdcox9491]

the best

[@fubar50cat]

countrygal, you honour us with this video, almost looks like Ian dfid the filming himself, lol. Hey, just glad that some of you out there like that Ol' Ian, cause he is starting to feel those winters now, so keep him warm with your like, even irf he is a damn curmudgeon, lol

[@FtValleyPS]

Very nice, thanks.

[@akountreegal]

I haven't even seen the movie..and as for people being gay...my brother-in-law was and I also have a niece that is...I love them dearly, and they know it.. I guess if I was so unhappy about the picture being in there...I could have deleted the video and redone it, I didn't...Guess that should say something...but anyway...Ian is still singing...his new CD is great..although his voice has changed from his illness..he is still awesome...! Sorry if I have offended you. That was never my intention

[@snowcrash4286]

Always be like Banjo and take the trailer apart when they try lo load you up for town.

[@universalradio]

I'm not a real western fan, but I like Ian Tyson. I'd class him along with Johnny Cash, just a bit more subtle.

[@melissaschroeter161]

I love some fiddle.

[@MrBuckwilliam]

LOL linny, i see that the disliker was here... imagine having such ambition, to travel through you tube finding videos that have only likes on'em and clicking dislike :) can you say "peebrain"? i like to tell people like that "and don't let the door hit ya on the way out" :) this is another one of your good uns... more please

[@tugjones5187]

my dad is the buckaroo on the left in front of the red barn haha

[@fordpowertik6049]

My dad grew up near the Mc ranch and has even worked for them

[@vivianperino5006]

Fordpower Tik ...Wow...I love this music and Ian and Sylvia....getterdun....

[@keenankelley187]

Fordpower Tik Still don’t understand why it was sold! Can u explain I run cattle and farm myself hard to digest. That big of a spread why let it go.😔

[@akountreegal]

@ImaRodeomom Thank you for your nice comment....lol..I think some people just need something to grip about...makes it all worth it though when I get a comment like yours...Thank you so much...!!

[@TheRanchLife]

Happy Birthday Mr. Tyson ....

[@randyrobinson8751]

this song reminds me of when Leachman cattle co. came apart

[@useearth]

@SlingerDun there was a gelding named banjo. He Came from Millers @ Rock Creek Ranch up by Frenchglenn.

[@1193239]

i live in oregon and i know the horses and the people who worked this ranch and dont kid your self these horses were real horses dont cheat them and they wont cheat you! and it was a sad day in oregon not orgun i love ian but that was the only part of the song that i did not like. and dont think that any of these horses in this song couldnt put you in the ground if you didnt know how to ride!

[@fubar50cat]

@SlingerDun where did you get that ian tyson was 26 years old, i mean maybe a half a century ago he was, but again, allow poetic liscense, as well

[@johnnymartin9368]

what ever happened to jesse

[@akountreegal]

@pilsnerperformance Oh Yikes..I never saw that movie and had no idea that picture came from there...I am sorry...your right...I would have never put that in if I would have known...!!

[@hanksenkow7313]

RIP IAN TYSON. YOU ARE A UNIQUE CANADIAN ICON. MAY YOU RIDE ON THE JUDITH BASIN RANGE IN MONTANA WITH CHARLIE RUSSELL. AND ON YOUR LONGVIEW RANCH RANGE.

[@fubar50cat]

ya see there is the mc horses, and then there is Ian, both endangered species, the only thing I know for sure is that love what we have today, tomorrow it might be gone, like tthe MC horses

[@MrCboy63]

Saddle them kids lets getterdun !

[@BuckViddy]

@akountreegal I'm sorry to hear that.

[@universalradio]

Sad - I wonder how many went to slaughter?

[@bobelliott2748]

I actually saw a horse take its trailer apart once. It wasn't a good outcome

[@akountreegal]

You know..I made the video..sorry I can't please everyone...but I tried...its about Ian's music anyway....what pictures I used..seemed to fit the words ...

[@charlie2foxtrot]

Sorry, I am not used to commenting on videos, but I think you missed my point. You accidentally used a photo from a movie about gay cowboys. But then, when someone pointed this out, you apologized. Why? I am sure that gay men were as much a part of the "Old West" as they are of any other part of society. Regarding Ian's music, I thank you and the others who has posted all of his more recent recordings. I had no idea he was still recording. Just got 2 of his cds. The guy is amazing.

[@charlie2foxtrot]

It is sad that you find it necessary to apologize for using a photo from "Brokeback Mountain" accidentally or otherwise in your video.

[@1nvnana]

Brokeback Mountain? Really?

[@DaveSmith-tb2cr]

Right? WTF?

[@akountreegal]

@Stclaircad I don't know who you are calling an idiot...I didn't write the song...I didn't sing the song...I made a video from it...no more...So don't be calling me an idiot..maybe you better call Mr. Tyson and tell him...and I won't tell you who I think the "real" idiot it here,....get a life buddy...and go someplace and look at someone else's videos....stay away from mine..!!! Thanks...

[@lizmartinez9195]

I luv it when my handsome husband sings Ian Tyson songs to me .. (:

[@vivianperino5006]

liz martinez ...Hi Liz ...I sing them to myself....my mate is Italian and Ian’s songs wouldn’t sound good....love ya...🇨🇦🇨🇦🇮🇹🇮🇹♥️♥️♥️🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🍷🍷🍷🍝🍝🥫🥖🧀
