Ian Tyson and Sylvia Fricker were the greatest
duo of the 60's folk movement. Their 3rd
Vanguard LP is a true work of art. As the title of
the album accurately suggests, the songs are
regional reflections of living, working, loving and
struggling in the great untamed lands of the
Canadian frontier. The combination of Ian's
expert 12-string playing and Sylvia's autoharp
with their impeccable vocal harmonies brought
out the best in all involved. Cut from the original
session tapes and featuring the original
recordings of "You Were On My Mind" and
"Someday Soon". Cisco's 180-gram reissue of
Northern Journey is a colourful
exploration meant for all who enjoy top notch
music and music-making.
