"While often overlooked, Buffy Sainte-Marie has made some significant contributions with her song writing and performing, since the early 1960's. Here is a short collection of re-mastered gems from Sainte-Marie's early work. Her classic "Universal Soldier" is included here as well as her ethereal "God is Alive, Magic is Afoot." Her music ranges from stark protest music, to phenomenal electronic music. All these songs still sound fresh and contemporary. Even included is her controversial country version of "Now That the Buffalo's Gone." After hearing this wonderful collection, it is worthwhile to explore Sainte-Marie's recent music, especially her 1992 Coincidence & Likely Stories. Her compassionate social activism and her mastery of digital music show Buffy Sainte-Marie is clearly a strong voice for the 21st century."
