Our Take
Our Take
Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Soldier Blue - Best Of The Vanguard Years" is a treasure trove of musical delight that shines as brightly as a disco ball in a dark room. This compilation showcases the best of the legendary folk singer's work during her time with Vanguard Records, and let me tell you, it's like stumbling upon a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of "Universal Soldier" to the rebellious spirit of "Now That The Buffalo's Gone," Sainte-Marie's powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics will make you want to grab your nearest acoustic guitar and start strumming along.
But it's not just Sainte-Marie's music that captivates – it's her fearless approach to tackling social and political issues that truly sets her apart from the pack. Tracks like "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" and "My Country 'Tis of Thy People You're Dying" are poignant reminders of the injustices faced by Indigenous people, while also serving as rallying cries for change.
Overall, "Soldier Blue - Best Of The Vanguard Years" is a must-have for any music lover looking to immerse themselves in the brilliance of Buffy Sainte-Marie. So grab your headphones, press play, and let the magic of her music wash over you like a wave of pure sonic bliss.
