Sam Amidon

This Vermont-born alt folk singer and fiddler updates the sounds of the old West, and has also been working for several years now on a film, 'Plywood Superstar', which will end with Jimi Hendrix wandering around a river in northern Canada trying to catch fish with his hands. Until that sees the light of day, you can luxuriate sparsely in the beauty of his engaging original material, which is spare, melancholy and otherworldly.
