Buffy Sainte-Marie Vinyl Records
Buffy Sainte-Marie has enjoyed a long career that has seen her rise to stardom on the folk circuit and try her hand at country, rock, soundtrack themes, acting, activism, and children's television. For most listeners, she remains identified with the material she wrote and sang for Vanguard in the mid-'60s. Many of her songs addressed the plight of the Native American, particularly "Now That the Buffalo's Gone" and "My Country 'Tis of Thy People You're Dying," which generated the most controversy. Yet she was also skilled at addressing broader themes of war and justice and romance. She was also a capable interpreter of outside material, although her idiosyncratic vibrato made large-scale commercial success out of the question.
