The legendary Canadian songwriter returns at the age of 78, with 10 remarkable songs. From the part-travelogue “”Under African Skies”” to “”Blueberry Susan”” that offers a tribute to many of the musicians that touched Tyson, this collection of songs is Tyson rediscovering himself and his “”new voice.”” The album”s Dali-esque cover is by Calgary teacher Paul Rasporich; it depicts a raven”s skull. The title of the CD followed a sweat lodge ceremony at the Nakoda First Nation, near Banff Alberta, when Tyson”s name – Ka-ree-a-hiatha (Raven that Sings) – was chosen.
