sam.jpgSamamidon is the newest release from Iceland's Bedroom Community label. This album pretty much acts as a tribute to the great appalachian banjo player Dock Boggs. It makes sense since Samamidon is best known for his banjo and fiddle skills. The wonderful thing about this album is that it is deeply rooted in the old world but yet has morphed into something beautiful and new. With the addition of ornate string compostions and baroque additions to the songs, Samamidon has crafted an absolutely stunning album. Think Sufjan Stevens and Dock Boggs.
