whatever happened to Suzy?I miss her and Dwight Yokum.Saw open once for Clint Black back in '95 great show for sure.Love Ian and have seen him twice and meet him once fine man and a great musician.Love it.
totally agree. one of the finest remakes in music. i began working in country radio in '91 when suzie was just beginning her meteoric rise. she simply blew away almost every singer in the business. what a talent!!!!!!
Tried to post a query re the pickers on this project. They're all terrific and the fiddler just knocks my socks off. Anyone know who he is? Since I post fairly frequently w/no difficulty, I was surprised when my query was held, rather than posted at once. If anyone knows why, please tell me. Thanks!
Judy Collins did such a fine job with this song 40 years ago - and I've never been a big of remakes, but Suzy just knocks it out of the park with this version! A great arrangement, nice production - and what a beautiful, strong, clean voice! She's such a fine singer!!
I have listened to Judy Collins and Crystal Gayle and now Suzy Bogguss do this great lifes tale. I keep replaying Suzy's version however, maybe because its closer my rodeo's and life on the road.
The pedal steel solo is lifted note-for--note from the Judy Collins version, featuring Nashville great Buddy Emmons. This version, which Suzy sings beautifully, is pretty much a very close cover of Judy's version. Collins released this as a single - the album "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" featured this and was probably her greatest work. Steven Stills played awesome guitar on that album. Check it out.
What a great cover of one of the best written songs of all-time; Suzy is stunning both visually and audibly in concert...as far as female voices go, she's up there with Patsy Cline and Karen Carpenter to me...
This is a country song I suppose, but it has just as much soul as anything I've ever heard. It comes from the heart and feels like coming home. It just transcends any words.
this just reminds me of being young and in love...although im older and on to another chapter in life when i hear this it still hurts my heart a little...
A very good version of this song. I have only known the Judy Collins version of the song till now, and Judy is a TOUGH act to follow but this lady is VERY talented!
I always thought Suzy was pretty and could carry a tune...but I didn't realize she had a voice like this...she is awesome and not only does she have a good voice, but she also phrases the song very well
When I hear this song I immediately think of July 1994. I was assigned to Peterson AFB, CO and had just retired from the USAF. I was driving my pickup truck west bound on Interstate 70 heading to Steamboat Springs, CO and the Saturday night Rodeo. I must have played this song a hundred times - good thing I was alone. It was beautiful - the drive, the song, being an American - I will never forget that day!!
i drive highway 285 from santa fe, nm to just south of alamosa, co -- hauling 5 tons of hay per trip. as i head north and cross over the east side of san antonio mountain in nm and see the peaks of the sangre de christo's touching the sky for 150 miles in front of me -- i always think of this song.
....hard to believe that anyone could do this song better than Judy Collins and Suzy does.....goosebumps everytime I hear her voice break at 3:40.....
For me, psychologically speaking, it's a little disappointing that a gorgeous song such as this came out of the soul of a man, and not a woman. I'm a 100% hetro guy you see, so I guess I just have to accept that women, for whatever reason, just can't get it done in the creativity department.
The first time I heard this song was on Armed Forces Radio Korea. The next time was on Armed Forces Radio in Saudi Arabia the night the Gulf War started. Both times Suzys clear, strong voice wrote this song in letters of fire on my heart and on my soul, reminding meof my wife waiting at home for me. This song went through my mind as my plane landed at Fort Campbell Ky, where my wife waited for me. Even now, every time I hear it Im on my way home again.
The first time I heard this song was on ArmedForcesRadioKorea, near the end of my one year tour. The second time I heard it was on Armed Forces Radio in Saudi Arabia, the night the Gulf War started. Both times Suzy's clear, strong voice wrote this song in letters of fire on my heart and on my soul, thinking of my wife hoping for my safe return. This song ran through my mind as my plane landed at Fort Campbell,Ky, where my wife was waiting. Even now, every time I hear it I'm on my way home again.
One November evening...at dusk...years ago..I was driving on a long, lonely road in Montana. I pulled over and stepped out of my truck for a break. This song came on and echoed over the land. One of the most enjoyable moments in my life.
Suzy's voice is beautiful,but Ian's version with the Great Speckled Bird will always be my favorite.He used the money from this song and Four Strong Winds,a masterpiece,to buy a ranch in Alberta.He's been a working cowboy since,and released some amazing cowboy music.There is a documentary on Bravo that includes his partner in crime when this music was created,Sylvia ,that is touching."Years are gambled and lost like summer wages."Now that's a writer.
i heard this song a long time ago, and wondered who did it, it wasn't until i looked up Ian that i found out. I love this version, would it not be funny to see her do it with Ian, like as if, lol
The original "hit" was in 1969 by July Collins.... do yourself a favor and listen to her version.... The recorded version if you can find it... either way... Judy has the most pure voice
I know Ian Tyson (who wrote this) is Canadian, but this song is the sound of Texas and Oklahoma. It's hard to explain, but this song just takes me there.
Grew up in western Oklahoma with friends all over the Texas Panhandle. Rodeo was a way of life, with most towns having a "ropin' club" and a rodeo grounds. I miss it.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I always thought Suzy Bogguss was too cute/pretty/sexy to have any musical substance before I heard her. I was wrong, wrong, wrong.
I feel lucky hearing songs this good done this right.
This is the BEST version of this song. I've heard Judy Collins sing it; I've heard Moe Bandy sing it (1982) and I've heard Kathy Barnes' version from 1976 and Suzy's version is simply the best. :)
Surely the best of all the present Female Country singers. Great diction,phrasing and tone, make this the best rendition ever of this great Ian Tyson song.
@mpb1472 You should have heard her back when she was 22 yr old singing in the coffeehouses and clubs back in Peoria and Bloomington, Illinois where I first heard her and first met her. She was the sweetest and most charming girl you could imagine. Back then she sounded exactly like Linda Ronstadt except even better - if that makes sense. Her voice has only gotten more wonderful through the years. And she is still as pretty!!!
Nobody, nobody, nobody - did I say NOBODY - does this song ANYWHERE close to as good as Suzy does it. I salute Ian Tyson for a great song and I love Judy Collins, BUT Suzy Bogguss should be given title to this song. It is hers and hers alone. I love it. There is no better voice in the world.
Watching Suzy do this live gives it yet another dimension -- she's intensely present and concentrated, but totally relaxed and natural at the same time. Really a beautiful, appealing talent. I hope she does a whole album of these great country classics.
I like this song very much. Please tell me the meaning of "So blow you old blue northern" since I cannot understand it owing to my poor English ability. I am a Japanese.

really thought I had heard this song done by the by the best Crystle , Judy Collins BUT DAMN GIRL u keep that fine fine song alive kiss your beautiful face Im not sure whose cut I like the best what talent and the composition perfect 65 year old drummer just love music done correctly and u smoked that one
Let's give Ian Tyson a little credit here. Suzy's hot and sings great, but if there wasn't a song to sing or at least something good enough to sing, she could sound like Foghorn Leghorn. An incredible voice with the right blend of melody and lyrics rolling off the notes...there's just nothing like it.
You just can't find great country songs like this anymore. This has to be my favorite song by Suzy Bogguss. Thanks for posting this classic from the annals of country music.
