This was one of my favorite albums when I was a teenager. I bought it for nostalgia, and it is still excellent!
August 25, 2008Her voice and poetry have inspired, changed & enriched my life since I first heard her in '73. Kate Russell
November 5, 2007 |  | So much musical genius in one package! |  |
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!
March 27, 2007| | | I highly recommend, but it's too bad I have to | |
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....
October 7, 2006| | | Wonderful example of a great artist's work! | |
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.
