'Saro' from the Sam Amidon album 'All Is Well' released on Bedroom Community 2008 Video by Jeremy Blatter

Here is what the press has to say about the album:

PRESS:
"sky-scrapingly great ... All Is Well is viscerally stunning, comforting, upsetting, entrancing; as long as he can make art like this, Amidon can skip the formality of 'writing songs' forever" -Stylus Magazine

"With All Is Well, Sam Amidon has crafted a precious gem of a record, all in nuances and shades, with delicate overtones and airy harmonies. Sigurðsson's production is light and subtle yet it gives these songs fantastic depth and contrast without ever overshadowing Amidon's delivery. " -The Milk Factory

"A soaring and beautiful butterfly of an album, rich with tuneful wonder and epic song craft." -MusiqueMachine.com

" A veritable classic, a standard for comparisons in this genre from now on. Not to be missed." -Touching Extremes

"a great leap forward... the trio of artists responsible for the record [...] create a very specific space with these arrangements... a very forward-thinking album... Amidon doesn't just update the old world to the new, but finds the roots of the new world in the old. - Pitchfork

"...something of a revelation. Amidon took a collection of traditional songs, wrote new arrangements and [...] turned them into a bedroom rock classic." -Dusted Magazine

    'Tis not this long journey

    That grieves me for to go

    Nor the country that I'm leaving

    Nor the debts that I owe

    There's one thing that grieves me

    And bears on my mind

    That's leaving my darling

    Pretty Saro behind

    Just got into this artist then find out he's playing Bristol on the 19th and I just can't make it. Gaaaaargh! As song writers go, he's well up there.

    Just stunning. I saw him in a wonderful concert this evening with Shahzad Ismaily. Completely blew me away. More genuineness in his versions of these Appalachian songs than one hears even from some "traditional" performers.
