Four Strong Winds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Four Strong Winds is a song written by Ian Tyson in the early 1960s. It was recorded by Ian and Sylvia on an album of the same name released in 1964.
The song is based on the lives of transient farm workers, forced to move where work can be found, but its theme is the sometimes temporary nature of human relationships.
This folk classic has been recorded by many artists include Neil Young, Hank Snow, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan, Teenage Fanclub, John Denver, Bobby Bare, The Kingston Trio, Waylon Jennings, Chad and Jeremy, Ulf Lundell, and most recently, Johnny Cash. It was a hit for Bobby Bare in 1964.
In 2005, CBC Radio One listeners chose this song as the greatest Canadian song of all time on the series 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version.
