The Happy Camper: Ian Tamblyn’s New Album, A Longing for Innocence

There hasn’t been one northern Ontario canoe trip where I haven’t listened to a full Ian Tamblyn album before heading out from the access point. I’ve sung along with his classic Woodsmoke and Oranges on my way to Lake Superior, hummed Campfire Light on my way to Algonquin, cranked up Footprints on the Mountain on my way to Killarney’s La Cloche Mountain Range, pushed replay continuously on Black Spruce on my way to Temagami, and Northlands of Ontario became a brain worm while taking the passenger train The Canadian on my way to paddle the wilds of Wabakimi.
