Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing only an acoustic guitar and a mouthbow, Buffy Sainte-Marie's debut relies heavily on her distinct, rapid vocal vibrato. The album tackles explicit political themes, notably advocating for indigenous rights in 'Now That the Buffalo's Gone' and introducing the anti-war anthem 'Universal Soldier'.
