THE LOST TAPES [2LP] (20 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED RECORDINGS, LIMITED TO 750, INDIE ADVANCE-EXCLUSIVE) (RSD BF 2019)

Regarded as pioneers of the folk & Americana genre, Ian & Sylvia first came to prominence in the early 60's folk scene in Greenwich Village and Yorkville performing alongside Bob Dylan (they were also managed by Albert Grossman), Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot (who they made famous by being the first to record Early Morning Rain) and were a headliner on the now famous 1063 Newport Folk Festival. Ian's composition Four Strong Winds is now considered a standard and a CBC poll in 2005 named it the most essential piece of Canadian music. Ian & Sylvia were one of the first artists to explore an electric Country Rock sound recording with both New York and Nashville musicians.?In early 2019 Sylvia discovered a box of old 1/4 analog tapes in her attic that were professionally recorded in the early 1970s in front of a live studio audience. Over 20 previously unreleased recordings, included many of Ian & Sylvia's classics, but also enough to have a full CD of recordings of songs never before included on any Ian & Sylvia album. The Lost Tapes is being released as a 2CD and double Vinyl album . Both Ian & Sylvia have been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. ??Track Listing?Disc 1:?Keep On The Sunny Side?Darcy Farrow?Will The Circle Be Unbroken?When First Unto This Country?Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies?Four Rode By?Nancy Whiskey?Four Strong Winds?Little Beggarman?The French Song?Summer Wages?Crazy Arms?I'll Fly Away?Disc 2:?After The Fire Is Gone?Heartaches By The Number?Sweet Dreams?Come On In My Kitchen?Jimmie's Texas Blues?How Long?The Last Thing On My Mind?That's The Way Love Goes?Crying Time?Starting All Over Again?Together Again?Silver Threads and Golden Needles?The Goodnight Loving Trail
