Customer Reviews of Beginning of the End
Late Ian & Sylvia Nashville Effort Frustratingly, the sleeve notes on this disc indicate that it was intended to consist of both of Ian & Sylvia's Columbia Records albums. In fact, this contains only the first of these two albums, originally sold as "Ian & Sylvia" in 1971.
Stung by the commercial failure of their "Great Speckled Bird" masterpiece (which can be found on Amazon under the name "Great Speckled Bird"), Ian & Sylvia retreated somewhat and produced a solid but conservative Nashville style album using a surprising number of outside tunes (only 6 of the 11 songs are Tyson originals). The Tyson tunes, however, include a fine remake of Ian's "Summer Wages," two songs introduced on his Canadian TV show "Nashville North" ("Some Kind of Fool," "Shark & the Cockroach"), a deeply poignant collaboration about the necessity of putting down an elderly and disabled horse ("Barney") and one of Sylvia Tyson's most powerful ballads, the beautifully arranged "Everybody Has to Say Goodbye."
But the second Columbia album ("You Were on My Mind") is nowhere to be found. Instead, Bear Family appends four extra tracks from an unknown time period. They are interesting but they do not fit with the album material and are not particularly strong.
If you enjoyed Ian & Sylvia's MGM albums ("Lovin' Sound" and "Full Circle"), this record will give you great pleasure. It is these two folksters' final foray to Nashville together and benefits from excellent production values.
