Samamidon / Sam Amidon

The Captain (Kirk) tipped me off that Sam Amidon, Band of Horses, and the National all have new albums out. Thus far I've only heard the Sam album, it's great. I love his album 'But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted,' and 'All is Well' is good (both recorded under the name Samamidon). He records old old songs, with old instruments. His voice has a really unique rhythm, and the albums are banjo heavy. Works for me. Brooklyn Vegan compiled a bunch of links to recent press (including an NPR World Cafe appearance), check 'em out. This is a good interview from 2008.
