Buffy Sainte-Marie is an excellent folk singer who happens to also be a activist. Her name isn't heard often enough, but her songs have been performed by Janis Joplin,Elvis Presley, The Highwaymen,Tracy Chapman, The Indigo Girls and The Boston Pops Orchestra, among others. She has a unique voice that can only be described as a cross between Grace Slick and a traditional native singer. The album The Best of Buffy Sainte-Marie Volume 1 is absolutely phenomenal ranging from a cover of Joni Mitchell's The Circle Game to simple tunes. One of the best songs on the album is "C'odine" a tune that runs right up my spine. A cover of this song was included in the "Boys Don't Cry" soundtrack. Buffy extends her tours not only to big cities, but to even the smallest of reservations.
