The Gift rolls through 50 years of Tyson’s catalogue, songs going back to the days of Ian and Sylvia and The Great Speckled Bird, through Ian’s honky-tonk years, while making room for a large slice of the cowboy culture music that is heard on albums from Old Corrals and Sagebrush, Cowboyography, 18 Inches of Rain, I Outgrew The Saddle and Songs From The Gravel Road. The Gift has been called “brilliant troupe of musicians who get to the heart and soul of Ian’s work” by Big Valley Jamboree producer Larry Werners.
