Sam Amidon’s self-titled album represents the pinnacle of his creative expression. This collection features innovative reimaginings of nine traditional songs, brought to life alongside his talented band of longtime friends and collaborators. Amidon produced this record, drawing inspiration from the rich soundscape of his 2017 work, The Following Mountain, while honoring the cherished tunes he learned in his youth.
Among the highlights, ‘Pretty Polly’ stands out as one of the first folk melodies he mastered, and ‘Time Has Made A Change’ resonates with memories of his parents, who performed on the 1977 Nonesuch recording Rivers of Delight with the Word of Mouth Chorus. This album is a must-have for anyone seeking to explore the best folk music albums of 2020.
