Ian & Sylvia & The Great Speckled Bird - You Were On My Mind (1974)

Great Speckled Bird's second album. Ian and Sylvia Tyson wanted to keep the name as just Great Speckled Bird, but they were so well-known as a duo already, that the media rejected the name and often labeled them as Ian & Sylvia with Great Speckled Bird, so with this LP they finally gave up on just being Great Speckled Bird, and gave into the Ian & Sylvia with Great Speckled Bird name. Also, aside from Ian and Sylvia, this is almost an entirely different band than on the first LP. In the fall of 1970, Jeff Gutcheon joined Great Speckled Bird to play piano on the television show. Amos Garrett left the group to join Geoff and Maria Muldaur's new band in Woodstock. Amos was replaced by Toronto guitarist, David Wilcox. The next member to leave was Buddy Cage, who left to perform and record with Hog Heaven, Anne Murray, and The New Riders of the Purple Sage. Buddy was replaced on steel by Ben Keith. This group performed on The Ian Tyson Show for the next two years.The same players in this band also recorded for Bearsville Records as Hungry Chuck.

For anyone unfamiliar with Ian and Tyson or the Great Speckled Bird, this is really great Canadian country-rock, often credited as originators of the genre.
