Song of the Day: Samamidon – ‘Sugar Baby’

Samamidon – ‘Sugar Baby’
It has not been the best of days for me. I have come late, slouched towards defeat, weary with resignation. This song just about captures it for me. Hail tomorrow – that promise we all bank on.
Originally from Vermont, Sam Amidon recorded his second album All is Well with composer Nico Muhly and producer-engineer Valgeir Sigurðsson in Iceland over the course of 2007. This is not my first time around with this album; it took a second chance by way of an accident for it to work and I’m glad it did. The way Samamidon’s voice wraps around the melodies reminds me of yearning Irish folk tunes of old and for that reason, tonight, I’ve found the right sounds to see me off to bed, hoping for a night of heavy sleep with as few interruptions as possible.
