Free Music Notes for The Best of Buffy Sainte-Marie
Free Music Review: Buffy Inspires
Hit: 5 Stars
Her voice and poetry have inspired, changed & enriched my life since I first heard her in '73. Kate RussellFree Music Review: So much musical genius in one package!
Hit: 5 Stars
I like ecclectic music, and Buffy Sainte Marie is the epitome of ecclectic. This has got to be one of the most comprehensive musical collections out there! Her voice has mucho vibrato and takes some getting used to. Hey, so does Bob Dyaln, another person whose "Greatest Hits" album is expansive. Stick with it and you will be well rewarded. If you just want an album where all the tracks deliver up the same style of a one hit wonder, you don't need this album. If you want to hear the breadth and depth of one of the greatest singer-songwriters in the USA and in folk music history, then this is for you. I LOVE the mix of protest, personal reflection, fun, folks, country, pop, rock, POETRY at it's finest. Many of these songs move me to the deepest level with the combination of thought, emotion and tune. Yes, the arrangements leave something to be desired on some of the songs, but Buffy's brilliance shines through. I cannot understand why these songs aren't covered more by other artists, but when you look at the weak tea of most pop music divas nowdays I guess it's self explanatory. Buffy is something all together different and original! Great road music!Free Music Review: I highly recommend, but it's too bad I have to
Hit: 5 Stars
She is too great an artist to be reduced to a The Best of, but here it is. It lives up to it's title.
Her trip into rock and roll, documented here, would have seemed like maybe a predictable commercial idea except for one thing....
Free Music Review: Wonderful example of a great artist's work!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Best of Buffy Sainte-Marie is a great compilation of some of her best work. If you are unfamiliar with Ms. Sainte-Marie's work this album will give you full range of her musical stylings. The lament that is Cod'ine makes you feel the anguish in the soul of the addict. Groundhog reminds me of the songs my grandmother would sing to me. My Country `Tis of Thy People You're Dying led to some mighty interesting debates in history class. This is a wonderful album and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Ms. Saint-Marie's music and I feel that it is a wonderful first album in anyone's Buffy Saint-Marie collection.Free Music Review: A voice of America
Hit: 5 Stars
Buffy Sainte=Marie cultural roots are those of her Cree tribal family background. On her Best of album are to be found the thought provoking self-penned songs that have made her the spokesperson of the indigenous tribes of America.
Joy and sadness are found in abundance here. Ground Hog is a celebration of life itself, I'm Gonna be a Country Girl Again says volumes about the sense of nostalgia felt by the exile; at the heart of songs such as these is a sense of felt joy. In contrast are Buffy's ballads, which are songs of 'monumental' sadness; Cod'ine is a grim comment on drug addiction and My Country 'Tis Of Thy People You're Dying is a shocking revelation of the history of America.
Possessing a voice of astonishing vocal range, Buffy has been writing and performing her music for nearly fifty years. This album encapsulates that life.
