Sam Amido is a folk singer and with his soulful guitar playing and gentle, soothing voice this album is perfect for lazing in the sun and watching the world pass you by this summer. He is your traditional folk singer reinventing and crafting new songs that suits his voice and style perfectly. Sam Amidon has gained much media attention and has even received praises from the likes of Bon Iver.
This talented young man is bursting with talent and not only does he sing on the album but he plays the banjo, fiddle, acoustic guitar and piano. It seems like there is nothing this boy can’t do! He has a lot of potential to do well in the music industry and with an album like this, it seems likely.
The record included Tim McGraw’s ‘My Old Friend’ and Mariah Carey’s ‘Shake It Off’, which Amidon has changed to suit his own sound. These songs have a unique and interesting sound to them. Amidon has grabbed the song with both hands and made it his own like only a true folk singer would. There is no artist out there who is quite like Sam Amidon.
