Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1966 - Little Wheel Spin and Spin
Little Wheel Spin and Spin was the third album by Buffy Sainte-Marie, released in 1966. Although it became her only album to (albeit briefly) reach the Billboard Top 100, it failed to provide any notable standards covered by pop artists. Its most famous song is the epic "My Country 'Tis of Thy People You're Dying", which displayed a native perspective on the colonisation of North America. In contrast to her first two albums which were entirely acoustic with occasional use of her distinctive mouthbow, parts of Little Wheel Spin and Spin added electric guitar by Bruce Langhorne, string arrangements by Felix Pappalardi or feature fellow Native American performer Patrick Sky on guitar with Sainte-Marie. This served to pave the way for Sainte-Marie's stylistic experiments on her remaining Vanguard albums, where she covered territory ranging from country to rock to experimental music. 01 - Little Wheel Spin And Spin 02 - House Carpenter 03 - Waly, Waly 04 - Rolling Log Blues 05 - My Country 'tis Of Thy People 06 - Men Of The Fields 07 - Timeless Love 08 - Sir Patrick Spens 09 - Poor Man's Daughter 10 - Lady Margaret 11 - Sometimes When I Get To Thinki 12 - Winter Boy LINK
