Sam Amidon “negates Dylan’s iconic influence” on Lily-O

Sam Amidon‘s latest album, Lily-O, perfectly surmises the work he’s done over the past 10 years. Reuniting with Valgeir Sigurðsson, the producer & person responsible for releasing his third album, the tonal qualities of his early work is apparent – but now with the confidence and knowledge of an artist on his 6th album. Paste Magazine reviewed Lily-O and said its use of public domain lyrics introduces “one of the few radical moves left in modern folk music”. Guitar great Bill Frisell & Amidon‘s “trusted players” create a hotbed of part-improvised, part-practiced music breathe new life into the lyrics. Read the full, 8.4 review here. Lily-O debuted at Radio 200 at #200, and is in need of your support to move up! Help this innovative album make a jump this week.
