Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Long unavailable, Buffy Sainte-Marie’s second album finds her exploring a variety of approaches, while developing her songwriting skills through the country anthem “The Piney Wood Hills” and oft-covered love song “Until It’s Time For You to Go”.
Her treatment of the latter is unexpectedly understated: for once, she reins in the tremulous, warbling delivery that set her apart from pure-toned folkies like Joan Baez, and showcased on a bravura version of Bukka White’s “Fixin’ to Die”.
Equally at home on traditional material like “Must I Go Bound” and “On The Banks of Red Roses”, as on original songs like her bluesy “Broke-Down Girl” (“mommy’s little girl gone bad”), her Native American roots are most strikingly expressed on two pieces featuring her mouthbow accompaniment, the rustic party-piece “Groundhog” and ballad “Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies”.
