An acclaimed music historian brings us the long-awaited story of Ian &amp; Sylvia - marking the first time that the legendary folk duo has endorsed a biography of their groundbreaking career. Their classic "Four Strong Winds" is widely considered to be one of the great songs of all time. Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, and Joni Mitchell count among their admirers. Their music, including hits like "You Were On My Mind" and "Someday Soon," has been recorded by everyone from Dylan, Joan Baez, and Johnny Cash to Sarah McLachlan and The Tragically Hip. Their influence on music - both in Canada and the United States - has endured over generations and surpassed genres. Yet until now, we have known little of the story behind the folk sensations Ian &amp; Sylvia. In Four Strong Winds, John Einarson takes us back to Ian &amp; Sylvia's early days in Toronto coffeehouses, to their experiences at the heart of the vibrant 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene, and beyond, as their personal and musical partnership continued to change and evolve. Based on Ian and Sylvia Tyson's own personal reflections as well as on the recollections of contemporaries, associates, and admirers, Four Strong Winds is the definitive account of this iconic musical duo and a window on a fascinating period in music history.

Magic Carpet Ride: The Autobiography of John Kay and Steppenwolf

Kay, John

The Guess Who were Canada's first international rock music superstars, leading the Canadian invasion of artists like Neil Young, The Band, Rush, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, and Crash Test Dummies. The achievements of this Winnipeg-based band were dazzling: the first platinum record award in Canada for American Woman, five American top ten gold singles, RPM magazine's top band four years running, the BMI award for over one million airplays of These Eyes. The characteristic "wheatfield soul" of The Guess Who was sown in the community clubs of Winnipeg in the 1960s when teen-aged performers like Neil Young, Randy Bachman, and Burton Cummings were trendsetters. The band made this Canadian "sound" international. The Guess Who also created some of the greatest songs in rock music history.
