A Confusing Mix of Wonderful Cuts Jun 7 2000
Format:Audio CD
I have been an enthusiastic fan of Buffy Sainte-Marie's for upwards of thirty years, yet this collection (along with Vol. 2 of "The Best ...") just doesn't do it for me.

Everything the more enthusiastic reviewers say about Buffy I heartily agree with. Her unique voice. The themes from political to personal. The musicianship. And I have no complaint with the selection of songs.

Yet I find these "Best of" collections ultimately disappointing. Perhaps it's only because I became accustomed to listening to the whole, individual albums on vinyl, each with its own very individual style, but it really jars my senses to hear a simple folk song with minimal instrumentation (such as Cripple Creek) followed by a lushly orchestrated country son (I'm Gonna be a Country Girl Again) then by electronica (The Vampire). I was quite disappointed when I made the switch to CD and found these were about the only Buffy available.

If you are new to Buffy, one of these collections would make a good introduction, but by all means get some of the individual albums as well -- the songs sound much better when not torn out of context. Or simply start out with an individual album or two.

Don't buy it May 4 2004
By Becky
Format:Audio CD
I grew up on Buffy Sainte-Marie. I bought this to hear her again. A lot of the cuts are really second rate and disapointing, for instance this version of Piney Wood Hills is awful compared to what you can hear on her album "Many a Mile". Also, this best of mixes periods which just don't go together at all. Try to get her original recordings. Not all of them are available on Amazon, there is an Italian distributor you can find on Google.

Buffy Sainte-Marie belongs in the pantheon
I am reluctant to give this CD 5 stars only because, as another reviewer mentioned, I prefer individual albums, all of them, or at least I'd prefer the songs in order of recording. Read more
