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.
