But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted

Expanded reissue of hard-to-find 2007 classic. Before Sam Amidon's acclaimed albums for Nonesuch Records and Bedroom Community, he'd released a few on his own. After a collection of traditional Irish instrumentals, Amidon (as samamidon) delivered his true "debut" 'But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted'. Recorded in 2005 with longtime collaborator Thomas Bartlett (Mumford and Sons, Sufjan Stevens, The National, David Byrne), Vermont-born Amidon re-imagines traditional songs alongside covers as diverse as Mississippi John Hurt to Tears For Fears, and rearranges them into his own unique and mesmerizing compositions. Unavailable for years, original copies now sell for top dollar on the collectors market. Nearly a decade later, 'But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted' finally receives the reissue it deserves. For those who may have only heard about it, to those who have heard it and want to share or re-experience it again, 'But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted' returns. Don't make the mistake of missing it again. CD - With 10 bonus tracks.LP - First appearance on LP. LP pressed on translucent blue colored vinyl with download card featuring bonus tracks.
