Canadian music icon Ian Tyson has died at 89.

As Corb Lund put in the article from CBC:

> He's kind of our Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash or Leonard Cohen. He's a guy who's most embodied the region in art, musically at least,

His music was a fixture in many households, mine included. I've always loved his music even as my tastes went in quite another direction.

RIP. Navajo rug, MC horses, and Four Strong Winds might be a few of the best country western songs ever written.

Leonard Cohen is Canadian. Is the CBC person in the wrong field of expertise?
