Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding upon her stark debut, 'Many a Mile' finds Buffy Sainte-Marie solidifying her reputation as one of the folk revival's most intensely original songwriters. Her fiercely distinctive vibrato and aggressive acoustic picking style deliver biting social critiques, particularly regarding Indigenous rights, alongside haunting, poetic love songs. It contains the first recording of her universally acclaimed composition 'Until It's Time for You to Go'.
