I'm a British bloke, but not ashamed to say I'm heartbroken that Ian has finally left us - Loved all the old stuff with Sylvia and Ian's solo recordings and videos - RIP Cowboy

[@russparker1647]

Ian’s voice is so unmistakable and amazing. And Emmylou , well she melts my heart with her voice and beauty.

[@DouglasJBoyd-fz9fb]

Sadly Ian Tyson never got the recognition he deserved.

[@rjfah]

Emmy was so beautiful (not to mention her beautful voice). RIP Ian Tyson. I've been a fan of he (and Sylvia) for some 50 years and was lucky enough to see him sing twice in Utah. Both had such exceptional voices.

[@diosdadomandani7768]

A very wonderful songs of Emmy

[@Cliff2548]

So sad to say Ian Tyson passed on Thursday December 29,at his Ranch Home in High River, Alberta, I sure will miss him and his music!

[@willharris3798]

love him, miss him.

[@mattthompson9826]

Wish they had done more together. Emmylou can sing harmony to anyone, but Ian was one of a very few that could sing harmony to Emmy’s lead that well.

[@forrestpreece3148]

Amen!

[@mhgaffney]

What a treat to hear and see these two great talents on the same stage. Pray for peace in our world.

The sound of Emmylou Harris is bliss . "2 great duets .

[@jezebeljones659]

She's sung with Dylan, Gene Clark, Willie Nelson -- the list goes on and on. But her best duet partner was, of course, Gram Parsons.

[@wayawolf1967]

I know I.m not the only one who has had a lifelong crush on Emmylou.

[@sandy-pf9bb]

Lifelong crush on Ian!!

[@peterk.manning1868]

You're not alone- she's talented and gorgeous

[@daveyvane9431]

Her boobs were not very big.

[@TheNanzeee]

I was lucky enough to see Ian perform at Michael Martin Murphy's WestFest in Colorado a few times and saw Emmylou here in Chicago. RIP Ian.

[@dlc1119]

People forget that Emmylou was instrumental in bringing TVZ's music to a wide audience.

[@SkipWay]

Great to see/hear Ian in his prime!

[@garyholt8315]

She's one of the best rhythm guitarists .

[@murraythet]

Great harmonies by Ian & Emmylou on "If I Needed You." They should have done a duet album.

[@brucewatson1475]

Emmylou does have a great duet version of the song with Don Williams on her "Duets" album.

[@jackwalker1822]

Been catching up with Ian and Sylvia repertoire. Emmylou can duet with anyone!

Check out Emmylou's two albums with Gram Parsons is you're interested in duets.

My god I forgot how gorgeous Emmylou was!

[@dickmckenna9447]

How on earth could you forget? 😊

[@margaretross9150]

Read recently that Ian decided he would switch from folk to country after hearing Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers in L.A. Said he loved them. The world of music is very interconnected!

[@brianbeecher3084]

Just as Dylan went from folk to rock, while Springsteen went the other way, fro rock to folk. And Conway Twitty, Charlie Rich and Kenny O’Dell began as rock ‘n rollers.

[@longtalljay]

Southern white music. Thin line between the two.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

​@longtalljay No such thing as "WHITE" music...'colour coding' is the lowest common denominator of racist profiling...

I loved Ian and Sylvia but Ian was 98. None of us live forever.

Define good country... there's a yearning in vocals and lyrics. Really ...a yearning for love.

Also, I hope Tom Waits was suitably flattered that Ian rocked up his song!

I’ll never forget how handsome Ian Tyson was.

Would be great if some stats on the players could be included above - their names & instruments, etc.

I thought that one lead guitarist was Kix Brooks at first.

[@mosrite60]

Great backup band. But Nothing compared to the "Hot band" Emmylou later had with the likes of James Burton/Albert Lee. But interesting the drummer right here is none other than Stu Mitchell of Wes Dakus fame. He also wrote the theme song. Great musician. How long did Sun Country last? Don't seem to recall.

I wonder, why is the name "Salley Rose" is on her shoulder guitar strap?

She released an album called the "Balad Of Sally Rose" around about then.
