There’s something deeply powerful about two generations of cowboy poets sharing the same stage — especially when those two voices belong to Corb Lund and the legendary Ian Tyson. In this live performance of “Ride On”, we don’t just witness a song — we witness a passing of the torch, a moment where tradition, respect, and pure Western spirit collide under the lights.
“Ride On” is more than a song; it’s a salute to the old ways — the saddle-worn wisdom of a bygone era and the grit that lives on in today’s troubadours. With its roots planted firmly in the rugged soil of Western Canada, the song speaks to the kind of resilience, freedom, and solitude that only the open range can teach. When Corb Lund sings it, there’s a youthful reverence. When Ian Tyson joins in, there’s a seasoned depth — the kind that can only come from decades of living what the lyrics describe.
The beauty of this live duet lies in its rawness. There’s no studio polish, no filters, just two men with guitars, telling the kind of story that doesn’t need embellishment. Ian Tyson, known for iconic works like Four Strong Winds and Someday Soon, brings with him a legacy that shaped generations of Canadian and American folk and country artists. Corb Lund, a sharp-witted modern cowboy in his own right, carries that legacy forward — but not without tipping his hat to the man who helped carve the trail.
Together, they remind us that good music never ages — it just gains dust, character, and truth. If you’ve ever longed for the wide-open spaces, the quiet strength of the land, or the company of a good horse and a fading sun, “Ride On” will take you there. This performance isn’t just a concert — it’s a conversation between past and present, sung with heart, harmony, and a touch of old-soul magic.
