The Following Mountain represents a new approach for Sam Amidon, who shifts on the new album from his previous norm of re-working traditional folk songs and presents nine wholly original compositions, with some lyrics drawing on traditional sources. The album was created with producer Leo Abrahams and frequent Amidon collaborator Shahzad Ismaily, with a rare guest appearance by drummer Milford Graves.
The Following Mountain is available to preorder from iTunes and the Nonesuch Store, with an instant download of the album track "Juma Mountain." You can watch a lyric video for the track below. Nonesuch Store pre-orders also include a limited-edition print autographed by Amidon.
