SAM AMIDON
Sam Amidon thought he had a pretty good idea what direction his new album Lily-O was going to go. Then he started recording it. Due Sept. 30 on Nonesuch Records, what turned out to be a collection of distinctive, enveloping songs rooted in folk music didn't begin that way at all.
In fact, the Vermont-born singer, guitarist, fiddler and banjo player had initially envisioned an album based more on the improvisational material he and jazz guitar great Bill Frisell developed together a couple of years ago while touring New England as a duo.
"I thought it was going to be a much more instrumental, weird album of fiddle stuff and snatches of melodies and a little bit of singing, but really strange," Amidon says. "I didn't set out for this album to be as much of a songs record as it ended up being."
CHARLOTTE CORNFIELD
Charlotte Cornfield is a multifarious songwriter/instrumentalist from Toronto. A friend describes her sound as "Laurel Canyon grunge folk," and she agrees with a smile. A denizen of the road since her late teens, the 6-foot-tall musician lives in a state of bemusement. She has just completed a new album in Toronto with producer Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith, Bahamas), and it will be coming out in late 2015.
