Michael Barclay you’ve greatly enriched my world with you links to Leanne Betsamosake Simpson’s work 🙏
I listened to your linked sample, I bought the album from her BandCamp page, and I haven’t stopped listening to it, enjoying it more & discovering additional layers with every listen.
Robbie Robertson? ✔️
Jane Siberry? ✔️
Leonard Cohen? ✔️
The Cure? ✔️
Her own incredible talent? ✔️
With the highest praise intended, her lyrics and mood-setting capture emotion, place, identity & history every bit as deeply and movingly as Amelia Adams’ poetry does.
A thousand thanks for sharing your musical tastes with the world of Substack.
