Singer-Songwriter, Activist, Educator, Visual Artist, and Multi-Award Winner BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE returns with new album POWER IN THE BLOOD available everywhere!

Power in the Blood is a sculpture of an artist ever-evolving and a statement of a life’s work realized - challenging, empowering, and celebrating the listener with each and every song. Featuring all but two original tracks, the album starts unpredictably with a re-imagined version of “It’s My Way,” a song that originally appeared on her acclaimed debut album. The new recording of “It’s My Way” demonstrates how her work can transcend generations and still inspire individualism and self-expression 50 years after it was written.

Recorded in Toronto, Sainte-Marie enlisted three different producers, a first for her, to help shape Power in the Blood. Michael Phillip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Rheostatics), Jon Levine (Nelly Furtado, K’NAAN), and Chris Birkett (Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof). Birkett has worked with Sainte-Marie on four albums, beginning with the 1992 release Coincidence and Likely Stories. He recognized from the start that Sainte-Marie was a singular force. “She pays a lot of attention to her lyrics,” Birkett says, “and when Buffy says something, she actually means something.”

Throughout her incredible half-century career each era has revealed new and distinctive shades of an artist revered for her pioneering and chameleon ways. There was no mold from which Buffy Sainte-Marie emerged; she created her own, ripened from experiences in both her head and her heart. Power in the Blood is a reminder that, five decades on, Sainte-Marie is a voice as vital and significant as ever. Like so much of Sainte-Marie’s work, it’s universal. “I love words, I love thinking, and I recognize and value the core of a universal idea simplified into a three-minute song,” says Sainte-Marie. “What appeals to me in folk music are the songs that have lasted for generations, but I wasn’t trying to be one of those guys. I want to give people something original.”

Still Loving ❤All her Talent. God Blessed You and me with all of your songs. I just wish the politicians and radio stations in the states would have played your songs in the 60’s-70’s so’s I could have enjoyed them. 2022

Living in the UK all my life, I knew of Buffy Sainte-Marie, but until literally yesterday had never heard or knew of any of her music.
What powerful lyrics and music from her, no wonder there are so many complementary comments about her on YouTube and no doubt elsewhere too.
She can be justifiably be proud of her work in bringing to the worlds attention, the suffering of the Native Americans in both the USA and Canada over the centuries.
