Buffy-Bachman?

Buffy Sainte-Marie's blog today included a recent interview with The Calgary Herald in which she says she's recorded eight songs with Randy Bachman (yes, from Bachman-Turner Overdrive). She says,

We just really like each other's music, and Randy and I both have a lot of songs that we love that have been overshadowed by our hits. There are a lot of songs that are-oh god, they're all different. Big rockers, some are like bossa nova. All kinds of stuff. We're doing it for ourselves, we don't know if anybody else is going to like it. But we're going to see what we're going to get. We recorded eight songs and we're very happy with them. We don't know what to do next.

This sounds so intriguing and so unexpected. Buffy is still touring 'Running For The Drum' (she was in Oz a few weeks back) so it'll be great to have another album so soon , if indeed there is another album. Buffy records all the time as songs occur to her, it's just that we don't get to hear them. But here's hoping!
