I See the Sign
“This thoroughly modern folk singer continues his stunning recreations of classic folk, with help from Ben Frost, Nico Muhly, and Beth Orton.”
All Is Well
“A contributor to Doveman and Stars Like Fleas, Samamidon's latest album of indie folk again includes new readings of public domain compositions, and yet it feels like a great leap forward, thanks to Amidon's more relaxed approach.”
Bright Sunny South
“Not quite as stylized as 2010’s I See the Sign, but certainly no less ambitious, Bright Sunny South is an austere album that emphasizes Amidon’s banjo playing and singing. He's worked with Thomas Bartlett again, with Steeleye Span/Vashti Bunyan engineer Jerry Boys joining the pack.”
Sam Amidon
“Amidon’s self-titled record continues his polyglot blending of folk, classical, and jazz, drawing a resounding personal statement out of songs in the public domain.”
Salt River
“The folksinger’s calling is as old as the hills. Channeling Appalachian fiddles, desert rock, Ornette Coleman, and Arthur Russell, the Vermont native keeps it moving forward, in his own inimitable style.”
Salt River
“Sam Amidon finds experimental tides on Salt River”
