Wow!!! I was skeptical at first, but a great cover of a great song by a Canadian Icon.

Great song. Canadians are lucky to have heard and known. RIP Ian. Passed at age 89. Dec. 31, 2022

This is a great version of this song!

Outstanding. The smooth swing is perfect for this song. I'm sure Ian would approve.

Wonderful arrangement of a beautiful song. I’m sure Ian loved it.

Effin' brilliant, great song, EXCELLENT cover. Canadian X2!!!

True magic some of these covers from this album

Ian & Sylvia’s self-titled country album from 1971 brought me here. That’s a great album!

Amazing... just stumbled on these two while searching KZfaq... love their sound 💞

love the tyson music, great job you two, real nice groove on that song

You really brought back why I've always loved this song so much.

What a beautiful song!!

Best cover of this to date. Your harmony is husky and to a perfection. Thank you.

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! SPINE CHILLING!!!!!!!

Woooow beautiful coverrrr 😍😍😍😍😍♥️🎸👌🔥🔥

I love this album, but I might love these live performances even more. Put these on some vinyl and I might buy the album a second time!

That’s beautiful. My all time favourite song and you did it justice. Thanks so much.

Cover versions aren't always a pleasure, but this one is absolutely stunning! Wish that Jill Barber would lend her amazing voice to this kind of music a bit more often...

17 references the card game but for myself it has double meaning. I turned 17 years of age in 1971 and worked construction in McKenzie BC. The song is so reflecting of those times. Nice job in this production.

Sooo beautiful👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍

Great song, and great CD... make another one please.

Well Done You All, Love This Song

Wonderful cover. Doing Ian Tyson proud.

Beautiful! This Songwriter also wrote One of Canada's MOST PASSIONATE Tunes with SYLVIA, his Wife: "FOUR STRONG WINDS" Apparently, it's One of Neil Young's FAVOURITES! Seriously! CHECK This Out!!! ABSOLUTELY! ❤ 😅

My now husband and I saw Buffy in 1969 as students, long before marriage. Few in the audience; we got to stay for the 2nd performance, too, and were about the only ones in the audience. We loved her voice, piano playing, guitar playing, stage presence, her songwriting and her musically delivered message. We have always sung together, met as performers in musical groups. This is BUFFY'S song. Nobody sings it like she does, nor should they try to imitate artists' uniqueness.

Awesome voices

Nice performance and a really good quality video - thank you!

quite the splendid cover however they neglected to do the little know 4th verse ( see tony rice and/or david bromberg's cover on you tube) ... 'she's a lady so fine i best never try to find her cause good memories are all that we shared, and they should never be changed cause they're all i can take with me since i gambled and lost my summer wages' and it's that verse that completes the song so well..

I agree!

Great Cover!

That's how Vancouver was born. That and the navies who blasted a highway to the city.

FYI, song starts after 2:12. Nice version.

You won the gamble only you .

👍

Covers don't get any better.

IT STARTS AT 2:14 MINUTE THANKS BEAUTIFUL SONGS NEEDS MORE VIOLINS AND FRENCH HORN WILL SOIND SO MUCH BETTER SOME MORE GUITAR LEAD AND SIME GUITAR DUSTIRSION GOD BLESS YOU ALL THERE

sounds like Wilco but more righteous

interesting introduction... about working in the bush, cutting trees, etc. I wonder what part of the lyrics he doesn't understand? ---- "I'm going to work on them towboats With my slippery city shoes Lord I swore I would never do that again Through the great fog bound straights" --- Towboats, things that float up and down waterways

Nice version, I've been listening to various versions but David Bromberg is the one who really nailed it. The spoken introduction here really does no justice to the song which is way more tragic.

Ian Tyson did not write this song, he stole it from a BC Logger named Larry Click. Larry had the opportunity to play it for Tyson without first copyrighting it and Tyson stole it as his own. How do I know this? I am an old BC Logger who has worked with Larry Click

too much yakking before performing. Go to 2:15 to avoid what you don't care about. Good harmony performance after that, though. Out of curiosity, I'd love to hear Matthew sing some verses, solo, with Jill joining in for the chorus parts.

Ian never wrote this song he only sang it

What a horrible version of a great song.
