press reviews

"The most interesting folk album of 2007." -Stylus 

"...equal parts Nick Drake, Robert Johnson, and Deliverance, with a dash of ‘80s synth-pop for flavor...This is the great American folk album. - The Nerve  

"...his often-cracking warble is the anchor of this release, and it works perfectly. He seems aware of his vocal limitations, but he uses those boundaries to enhance the delivery the songs the same way singers like Bascom Lamar Lunsford and Bob Dylan have...If this album leads people to trace the roots of these songs, then Samamidon's job was well done." -Prefix (7.5 stars out of 10)
