Salt River: Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: River Lea Recording
Release Date: 24th January

Folk artist Sam Amidon reinterprets English Folk, the music of Lou Reed and more. 'Salt River' embodies an old mysticism to it but pairs with a new age glisten, which comes courtesy of project collaborator Sam Gendel. A real air of Arthur Russell on this one. 

Sam Amidon is a singer and multi-instrumentalist (banjo, guitar, fiddle).

New album, Salt River finds Amidon reinterpreting and regenerating 10 familiar pieces of music that he has collected together over time, ranging from traditional English shanty Golden Willow Tree to Lou Reed's Big Sky. It was recorded in collaboration with saxophonist and producer Sam Gendel. Sam has released 7 acclaimed albums plus collaborated with The National, Bon Iver, Beth Orton, Marc Ribot & The Blind Boys of Alabama.
