Sam sings 'The Only Tune' on Nico's 'Mothertongue' album, a murder ballad in 3 parts. String, brass and woodwind arrangements by Nico Muhly feature prominently on Sam's solo albums. Sam Amidon
Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening for anyone who considers themselves a fan of music. 3sidesinasquare
I think this is one of the most beautiful albums ever created. It pierces the soul and I feel renewed after every listen. Thank you Big Thief and Adrianne Lenker for one of the greatest works of songwriting and composition I've ever encountered! birdpatch
