about

REID JAMIESON - The Songs of Buffy Sainte-Marie
(tentative album release date Sept 2023)

“Gorgeous, sun-struck acoustic soul”- Globe & Mail

“Prepare to be surprised” – Vancouver Province

Canada’s eclectic choir boy Reid Jamieson is committed to amplifying women's voice and along with his musical partner/producer/wife Carolyn Mill, he has been working for over a year now on what appears to be the very first full tribute album to Buffy Sainte-Marie. Longtime fans, and those who admire the icon and activist but are not as familiar with her diverse musical catalog, will find this contemporary snapshot of her incredible body of work something deliciously new to explore. Independent artists working full time while doing everything themselves, makes this very much a labour of love in a dark time. Every artist needs a purpose, and they have found that, and more here. In a world where our heroes regularly let us down, Buffy remains an inspiration, with no signs of stopping.

On the 20th of February Buffy Sainte-Marie celebrates her 82ndbirthday!

FALLEN ANGELS (from Buffy's 1992 comeback album Coincidence and Likely Stories) was a radio hit that spookily sums up where things stand in the world then and today, taking on corruption with her trademark blend of biting assessments and bottomless compassion…this time around with a delightfully danceable beat!

lyrics

Fallen Angels, Fallen Angels
I know a man in the business line
He power hungry, he's a money mine
Smooth as satin he's a big time shark
Fallen Angel
I know a brother, oo he mean as sin
He got a brother who's just like him
Livin' over in Moscow, 2 of a kind.
How come the great power got the junkie mind

Fallen Angels, They never get enough
Fallen Angels oo oo, They got the addictions
Fallen Angels, They litter the skies
Fallen Angels, Don't you wanna turn 'em around, Turn 'em around

I know a man in the USA, He runnin' guns with the CIA
He's the best that being bad can be
Who'd think he do it all for me
What's it matter if you're green or red
The Yankee dollar or the commie threat
When the real power in the real world
Gonna deny it all anyway

Fallen Angels. They never get enough
Fallen Angels oo oo, They got the addictions
Fallen Angels, They litter the skies
Fallen Angels, Don't you wanna turn 'em around, Turn 'em around

You believe in the system from the top on down
Potential is a beautiful thing
It's hard to keep believing in the big time
Now you're sinking in the wind
Star light, star bright,
Somebody going down tonight
Stayed true when it was time to lie,
Got it right

Fallen Angels. Never get enough
Fallen Angels hoo hoo, They got the addictions
Fallen Angels, They litter the skies
Fallen Angels, Don't you wanna turn 'em around, Turn 'em around
Fallen Angels, never get enough, never get enough
Fallen Angels hoo hoo, They got the addictions
Fallen Angels, They litter the skies
Fallen Angels, Don't you wanna turn 'em around?
