Magnet Says Sam Amidon Is “Essential”

Magnet Magazine has classified Sam Amidon‘s The Following Mountain as “Essential New Music,” writing that “after five rewarding albums of artful, evocative (re)interpretations of primarily traditional material (and the odd contemporary pop cover), this Vermont troubadour and multi-instrumentalist makes a seemingly sharp pivot with his first offering of entirely original compositions. That the results rarely register as a major departure indicates Sam Amidon’s deep understanding of folk traditions.” The review is effusive in its praise, giving Amidon respect for “how thoroughly he embodies all of his material.”
