On today's show: how a potential rail strike could play out on Alberta farms; and from neckerchiefs to Navajo rugs, the Estate of Ian Tyson is auctioning off some of the legendary Alberta country artist's personal items.

Dave Peyton and Charlie Bowen could not know it, of course, but 11 years ago this week the pair of them spent their last afternoon with the man who had been their dear friend for nearly a half century, fellow Flood founder Roger Samples.On a perfectly suitable-for-framing Saturday in the summer of 2013, the Peytons and the Bowens trekked from their Huntington homes to Mount Sterling, Ky., to be with Roger and his wife, Tammy.They would always remember it as a day of laughs and food, of stories and, of course, music. And Pamela Bowen was wise enough to capture videos of some of the tunes they played that joyous day. Most of them were songs that dated all the way back to the very beginning of the band in the mid-1970s.The Demon at the DoorIt was impossible, of course, to know that this would the last time the Samples, Peytons and Bowens would all be together; however, a suspicion surely lurked in the background, unspoken. After all, by then Roger was mid-way through what turned out to be a five-year battle with cancer. Good days and bad days for him were the new normal in 2013, and, sadly, after that sweet summer, it was more bad than good. But Aug. 17, 2013, was a decidedly good day. At the end of a particularly fine music session, Roger often liked to quote the opening lines of a favorite old Ian Tyson song: Play one more and then I'm leaving, boys. Pick one more — let those guitars ring …. And ring they did on that sunny day in Kentucky. This is a public episode.

Ever the masterful crafter of musical stories, Corb Lund has just released his eleventh album El Viejo — a new collection that weaves together inventive narratives and introduces us to some compelling characters. On this record we encounter: a veteran card sharp dealing out hard-won wisdom, a down-on-his-luck journeyman MMA fighter, a speed addict trying to kick the habit on the family farm, and on the album's title track, a true-life heartfelt tribute to the recently departed country great Ian Tyson, known to some friends as “El Viejo” — or “The Old Man”.  Listen closely, and you'll hear lots of Corb's own story, too — there are a few tales of adventures and misadventures on the road, and the song “I Had It All” in which he muses about having a “cowboy past and a speed metal future”.  Corb's professional life in music began with a stint in jazz college, followed by a dozen years in a celebrated band who played a blend of psychedelic rock, hardcore punk, and speed metal -- not exactly a textbook beginning to a fruitful career in roots country music.  Corb Lund initially embarked upon his career as a singer-songwriter as an acoustic side project - one that stood out in sharp contrast to the decidedly heavier stylings of his internationally renowned rock band, The Smalls. It allowed Corb to develop his personal sense of expression and storytelling, while also connecting with the roots music that he heard growing up in the rural foothills country of Southern Alberta.  Eventually, The Smalls broke up and Corb's solo project became his primary focus. True DIY success would soon follow with a series of gold records, international tours and meeting personal heroes like Ian Tyson. Throughout it all, he's been determined to walk his own path and to keep his roots at the center of everything he does.  El Viejo takes Corb's homespun philosophy to a whole new level. The first Corb Lund album since the 1990s to feature exclusively acoustic instruments, it was recorded in his own Southern Alberta living room, performed live off the floor in a circle with his bandmates.  The international El Viejo tour saw Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans take a spin through Corb's home province, and he shared an intimate backstage conversation just ahead of soundcheck at his Edmonton show. He reflected on his journey, how he's still bridging the metal/country divide, being outspoken in his advocacy for preserving the Rocky Mountain foothills, the long shadow of his friend and mentor Ian Tyson and finding new ways to be as personal as he can with the art that he creates.   ____________________________________________________________________________________  Host: Grant Stovel | Producer: Scott Zielsdorf | Graphics: Craig Taffs | Music: Doug Hoyer  The Hidden Track podcast is a CKUA production made possible by the generosity of our donors.

Canada's folk music scene in the 1960s produced legends — from Gordon Lightfoot and Ian Tyson to Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young — and that remarkable community also nurtured a whole world of talented acolytes.One such folkie follower was British-born David Wiffen. Growing up singing skiffle with the Kingston-upon-Thames-based Black Cat group, Wiffen at age 16 moved from Claygate, Surrey, England, to Canada, where he became something of a rambling man.Initially part of Toronto's burgeoning folk music scene, Wiffen hitchhiked to Edmonton in 1964 and later managed a Calgary folk club called “The Depression.” The following year he moved again, this time to Vancouver, where he was invited to perform at The Bunkhouse club on what was intended to be a live ensemble album. However, when the other invited musicians failed to show up, the gig became 23-year-old Wiffen's first solo album. David Wiffen at the Bunkhouse Coffeehouse, Vancouver BC was released on the Universal International label.By 1970, Wiffen had written what was to become his best known song. “Driving Wheel” was included on his self-titled first album for Fantasy Records. However, David Wiffen, the album, received such spotty promotion that the song was not widely known until it also appeared on Tom Rush's own self-titled 1970 album, his first for Columbia Records. Since then, “Driving Wheel” has become something of a signature song for Rush, still today often making it onto the set list for his shows around the country.Other artists also have covered the song over the years, notably David Bromberg (who 50 years ago played dobro on Rush's classic rendition) as well as Roger McGuinn and The Cowboy Junkies.About Driving WheelsWhile Wiffen's lyric contains a memorable automotive reference (My car broke down in Texas, stopped dead in its tracks…), the “wheel” in “Driving Wheel” actually is locomotive in nature.When the chorus says, I feel like some ol' engine that's lost its driving wheel, the “engine” in question is a stream engine. In that context, we're talking about a powered wheel that is driven by the locomotive's pistons… … or turbine, in the case of a steam turbine locomotive. Uh, class dismissed.Our Take on the TuneIt's funny sometimes how songs come to us. A while back Charlie was just noodling with his new resonator guitar while waiting for a phone call, when suddenly he landed on chords from this song, which he'd not even heard for decades, much less played. A week later he was sharing it with the guys at a rehearsal, and they latched on to the sound too. Just like that, the song comes soaring in from the Seventies.

The fact marijuana heightens the musical experience is no secret. We know both listeners and players have enhanced their musical experiences through the use of this plant for over 100 years. This episode links cannabis to music through the stories told by acclaimed musicologist John Einarson. We follow a path of early jazz players influencing Canadian singer-song-writer Ian Tyson, who in turn influenced Bob Dylan, who in turn influenced The Beatles, to produce their iconic cannabis inspired album Rubber Soul. Einarson, author of 14 biographies of various musicians, tells stories with weed-inspired songs weaving through his deep narrative, as we learn how musicians created some of our most iconic songs under the influence of cannabis. Some very important pot smoking entertainers are discussed, such as Barbara Streisand sharing reefer with Peter Sellers and Neil Young testifying for his brother during a marijuana trial. Although cannabis is a very popular mind-altering substance used by musicians, Einarson believes it may actually pale compared to other psychedelic substances used in the industry. But that is another story for another episode. For now, this is a highly-entertaining episode produced, unlike any other from the ReeferMEDness team.Music:Steppenwolf - The PusherLinks:John Einarson Remembers Facebook Group Winnipeg Free Press Bio Books Topographic EEG Changes Accompanying Cannabis-Induced Alteration of Music Perception— Cannabis as a Hearing Aid?

Saddle up your quarter horse and grab that flask of whiskey for this ride through the life and works of country music legend Ian Tyson. Born in Victoria, BC, in 1933, Tyson's recording career spanned six decades, from his time in the Greenwich Village coffeehouse scene as one half of the folk duo Ian & Sylvia, to his years as a solo country artist working from his ranch in Longview, Alberta. With our guest Jeremy Klaszus, ghostwriter of Ian Tyson's 2010 memoir The Long Trail: My Life in the West, we discuss Tyson's love of horses, his tumultuous romances, and his fascination with the lore of the West.

Thanks very much for dropping by the Three Things podcast. Here, once a week, I try to stop to consider three things that left behind tracks of happiness and gratitude. This week 1. Palimpsest – Things fade, like autographs on guitar straps. 2. Family history – A new story from my mom! 3. Long view – RIP Ian Tyson. I am not a cowboy. I don't once a year pretend to be a cowboy. Not even a fan of the rodeo, gotta say. But on Friday, November 13, 1987, I danced a polka with Shelagh McAnally at a nightclub in downtown Edmonton. Since then I have been an Ian Tyson fan. (I was a Shelagh McAnally fan already.) I have known Harold Munsons who have helped me get through lean times. I have known what it's like to hold my tongue at borders. I have thought about the buffalo. I still like to strum and play Night Rider's Lament. The original music in the podcast is composed and played by Edmonton pianist and piano instructor Brendan McGrath. The end bells are courtesy Edmonton metal artist and humanitarian Slavo Cech.

His credits include several singles for Garth Brooks, as well as singles by Gary Morris, Diamond Rio, Patty Loveless and Chris Young. Blazy has a total of seven number one hits to his credit. Kent Blazy was raised in Lexington, Kentucky. At an early age, he played rhythm guitar and sang in various local bands, citing The Byrds, Rodney Crowell and Joe Ely as influences. He later played for Canadian singer Ian Tyson. Later on, Blazy met former Exile member Mark Gray, who suggested that Blazy move to Nashville, Tennessee. Eventually, he signed to a publishing contract, but the publishing company closed; despite the loss of contract, Gary Morris sent Blazy's "Headed for a Heartache" into the top 5 on the country charts. By the late 1980s, Blazy met with a then-unknown Garth Brooks, who gave him the idea for a song entitled "If Tomorrow Never Comes." He and Brooks co-wrote the song, which went on to become Brooks' first number one hit. Brooks continued to record Blazy's material throughout the 1990s, including the singles "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)," "It's Midnight Cinderella," "She's Gonna Make It," "Somewhere Other Than the Night" and the George Jones duet "Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?)." He also co-wrote "That's What I Get for Lovin' You" by Diamond Rio and "Can't Get Enough" by Patty Loveless in the late 1990s. Blazy, along with songwriters Pat Alger, Tony Arata and Kim Williams, recorded an album entitled A Songwriters' Tribute to Garth Brooks, which included their renditions of songs that they had written for Brooks. This album was released in 2001 via VFR Records. Other songs that Blazy has co-written include "You Can Let Go" by Crystal Shawanda and "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)" by Chris Young from 2008 and 2009 respectively, as well as American Idol season 8 finalist Danny Gokey's debut single "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me."Intro music artist credit: Short Guitar Clip by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Artist: http://audionautix.com/
