Sainte-Marie, Buffy - Running for the drum

On her first album in 13 years, folk icon and Native American activist Buffy Sainte-Marie comes out swinging. She takes on corporate greed over the furious tribal beat of No No Keshagesh and makes effective use of audio samples of pow-wows on both the blistering Working for the Government and the dance-floor-ready Cho Cho Fire. With those three cuts followed by a gorgeous, lilting reworking of her own Little Wheel Spin and Spin, Running for the Drum boasts a simply phenomenal opening sequence. Those songs speak to the depth of Sainte-Marie's focused folk-singer outrage and her still-razor-sharp ear for a memorable pop hook.



The lead track Keshagesh means Greedy Guts. It's what you call a little puppy who eats his own and then wants everybody else's.
