Sam Amidon delivers his renderings of traditional Appalachian songs in a unique voice on top of guitar strumming or banjo picking.
The tracks were then produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson in his Greenhouse Studios in Iceland, who as well as providing bass-lines and electronic textures and percussion, called on the services of Nico Muhly to write orchestrations that add a completely new dimension and depth unheard in context of these songs.
Other participants include Ben Frost, Eyvind Kang, Aaron Siegel and Morse.
