Buffy Sainte-Marie - 'The Big Ones Get Away'

A few years ago I saw a press pack being sold on eBay for Buffy Sainte-Marie's 1992 album, 'Coincidence And Likely Stories'. I bid and won and it included a few tracks form the album on CD and cassette, some paperwork and a videotape of promo materials made up of some interview segments and a video for 'The Big Ones Get Away', the first single from the album. Some kind soul has posted the video on YouTube and here it is:



The video for 'Big Ones' is very simple but very effective. I love the sequence where Buffy, as the woman in the song, reaches for the crescent moon and wields it like a knife to protect her family.

Go on, take a look ...
