Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1968 - I'm Gonna Be A Country Girl Again
I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again was the fifth album by Native American singer/songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. As its title suggested, it saw her, again following Joan Baez, embrace Nashville country music with the help of session veterans such as the Jordanaires, Grady Martin, Roy M. Huskey, "Junior" and Floyd Cramer. The album included re-recordings of "Now That the Buffalo's Gone" and "The Piney Wood Hills" from her first and second albums respectively. "Tall Trees in Georgia", in contrast to most of the material, showed Sainte-Marie performing in a style reminiscent of her earliest work. I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again was not as well received critically or even commercially as her previous four albums, and relatively few of the songs unique to it have notable cover versions (Neko Case's cover of "Soulful Shade of Blue" may be considered an exception). The title tune, however, was to become a minor UK hit after she reached the Top Ten there with the title tune to the movie Soldier Blue (from her album She Used to Wanna Be a Ballerina). 01 - I'm Gonna Be A Country Girl Again 02 - He's A Pretty Good Man If You Ask Me 03 - Uncle Joe 04 - A Soulful Shade Of Blue 05 - From The Bottom Of My Heart 06 - Sometimes When I Get To Thinkin' 07 - The Piney Wood Hills 08 - Now That The Buffalo's Gone 09 - They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Around 10 - Tall Trees In Georgia 11 - The Love Of A Good Man 12 - Take My Hand For Awhile 13 - Gonna Feel Much Better When You're Gone LINK (RS) or LINK (FS)
