About It's My Way!

It’s My Way! is the first album by folk singer Buffy Sainte-Marie. Though the album did not chart it proved influential in the folk community. It is most famous for two widely covered folk standards, "Universal Soldier" and "Cod'ine", as well as "Now That the Buffalo's Gone", a lament about the continued confiscation of Indian lands, as evidenced by the building of the Kinzua Dam in about 1964. The cover features a mouthbow, which was to be a trademark of her sound on her first three albums. Cod'ine was also lyrically altered by Janis Joplin and appears on This is Janis Joplin 1965. In 2016, It's My Way! was inducted by the Library of Congress into the National Recording Registry.
