of the song that I heard...

Ian Tyson wrote it.  He also wrote 'Four Strong Winds'.

So it was originally a country song, that became a pop song and then a
country again. I like the origina. Never heard of Ian Tyson before. I think
I'll look up some of his music.

Ian & Sylvia had some popularity in the '60s but covers by other artists
made a bigger splash. Tyson wrote many other songs that only he recorded.
He was the real deal, a rodeo cowboy before an accident ended that career
and he turned to music. After Sylvia split he was a rancher in Alberta,
still writing but never made it big and didn't do many live performances.
I saw him in the '90s when he played in a meeting room at UM, not a huge
venue.

Sorry to hear about the split.

That's one of his later ones. Dallas was recaptured and served 22 years
before he was released.  There was no doubt he killed the game wardens but
they were a long way from home. I've been in the Owyhee and from Boise you
have to go down through Nevada to get there. In 1981 there were no GPSs so
in the middle of nowhere the Idaho/Nevada line isn't marked on the
sagebrush. Besides that there was a general feeling that Pogue needed to
be shot but Elms was a nice guy.

I was living in Weiser, Idaho at the time. So now I remember it, but it had
completely slipped my mind. That was a well produced record. It's a shame
Ian Tyson was better known. (At least not by me.)

The 'springtime in Alberta' line works for Montana too.

The guy had a good voice. My father lived in Langdon, North Dakota for a
while. They talked about those spring blizzards coming through so hard that
people froze to death between the barn and the house. It's hard to imagine,
but it apparently it was true.
