Insight

Leonda's sole album, Woman in the Sun, is little known even among fans of singer/songwriters of the era. Because Leonda is First Nations, and sometimes uses prominent vibrato in her vocal phrasing, she might generate comparisons to the most well-known Native American singer/songwriter of that era, Buffy Sainte-Marie. Actually, however, she's almost as similar to Annisette of Savage Rose or (more distantly) Melanie, or perhaps some of the gutsier woman singers from late-'60s West Coast rock bands (with backup help from members of the Canadian rock band the Paupers).

Leonda: vocals
Brad Campbell: bass
Teddy Irwin: guitar
Sammy Lawhorn: guitar
Adam Mitchell: organ
Kermit Moore: cello
John Ord: organ, piano
Skip Prokop: drums
