Early Morning Rain is a 1965 Vanguard Records studio album (VSD-79175) by Canadian folk duo Ian & Sylvia — Ian Tyson and Sylvia Tyson — recorded in New York City. The album is named for Gordon Lightfoot's song of that title and is notable for offering one of the earliest American exposures of Lightfoot's songwriting, including his "(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me." The set also contains the first recorded version of "Darcy Farrow," written by Steve Gillette and Tom Campbell, which became a standard of the folk revival repertoire. Ian & Sylvia were among the most significant Canadian voices in the 1960s folk revival, and Early Morning Rain stands as a key document of the period's intersection of Canadian and American acoustic folk traditions.
