Power in the Blood is a sculpture of an artist ever-evolving and a statement of a life’s work realized - challenging, empowering, and celebrating the listener with each and every song. Featuring all but two original tracks, the album starts unpredictably with a re-imagined version of “It’s My Way,” a song that originally appeared on her acclaimed debut album. The new recording of “It’s My Way” demonstrates how her work can transcend generations and still inspire individualism and self-expression 50 years after it was written.
 
Recorded in Toronto, Sainte-Marie enlisted three different producers, a first for her, to help shape Power in the Blood. Michael Phillip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Rheostatics), Jon Levine (Nelly Furtado, K’NAAN), and Chris Birkett (Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof). Birkett has worked with Sainte-Marie on four albums, beginning with the 1992 release  Coincidence and Likely Stories. He recognized from the start that Sainte-Marie was a singular force. “She pays a lot of attention to her lyrics,” Birkett says, “and when Buffy says something, she actually means something.”
 
Throughout her incredible half-century career each era has revealed new and distinctive shades of an artist revered for her pioneering and chameleon ways. There was no mold from which Buffy Sainte-Marie emerged; she created her own, ripened from experiences in both her head and her heart. Power in the Blood is a reminder that, five decades on, Sainte-Marie is a voice as vital and significant as ever. Like so much of Sainte-Marie’s work, it’s universal. “I love words, I love thinking, and I recognize and value the core of a universal idea simplified into a three-minute song,” says Sainte-Marie. “What appeals to me in folk music are the songs that have lasted for generations, but I wasn’t trying to be one of those guys. I want to give people something original.”

Buffy Sainte-Marie -  It's My Way

The Flame travelled
all along Dhemar
spreading hope
Dressed as its avatar


Days passed slowly
Years and centuries came
Till the Flame beyond the shards
saw the human being fail


DAYS OF DARKNESS
NIGHTS OF OBLIVION
LEAVE DHEMAR ALONE
FULL OF EMPTYNESS

DAYS OF DARKNESS
NIGHTS OF OBLIVION
LEAVE DHEMAR ALONE
FULL OF EMPTYNESS


Now people of the world
await the Flames Return
Hoping without hope
and attempting to go on

Nobody knows the future
Nobody has the certainty…
The little flame inside says
he gave us liberty

Silent Peace
