Sam Amidon - Sam Amidon, album review


Ditto the Music Too

I reviewed the album Bright Sunny South from 2013 here, and this eponymous latest continues the quirky but traditional trajectory of Amidon's folk journey. There are electronic backgrounds to traditional songs to merge the then and now (putting it simplistically), and some of the dissonant accompaniment as well as saxophone and flute playings along with banjo provide junctures of original interpretations. A lovely album.
