ALBUM REVIEW: Folk Song Innovator Sam Amidon Reimagines Folk Songs on 'Salt River'

Sam Amidon has spent most of his career carefully deconstructing and reimagining (mostly) traditional folk songs. He always keeps one foot rooted to the folk scene of the 1970s, which his parents were a part of, while the other foot dances coyly with experimental, jazz fusion, and indie rock collaborators.
