Pre-Order: Sam Amidon - Willing Brother Knowing [LP]

Sam Amidon returns with Willing Brother Knowing, his eighth album out February 26th. Drawing on Irish and Appalachian fiddle tunes, old hymns and folk ballads, Amidon brings centuries-old songs into a striking new context, blending acoustic instrumentation with electric guitars, synthesizers and loose, groove-driven percussion. Produced and mixed by James Krivchenia, who also plays drums throughout, the album finds Amidon pushing the boundaries of folk while staying rooted in the music's communal spirit. A singular singer and multi-instrumentalist, Amidon has collaborated with Bon Iver and The National, and served as music advisor and singing coach for the film The History of Sound.
