My friend Sam Amidon recently released an incredible album which is a mash-up of old-time folk music and indie rock. The title of the album is “But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted.” He has a few free tracks available on his website.

Sam has traveled through Appalachia studying fiddle tunes that have been passed down in the oral tradition from generation to generation — these are almost-forgotten tunes that are only kept alive by a few fiddlers. And Sam’s voice is unforgettable; he sang at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, and everyone left saying he’s going to be the next big thing.
