White Antelope

Here are 5 songs from Robin Pecknold's (Fleet Foxes) solo project, White Antelope, where he pretty much reworks old traditional songs,(except "It Ain't Me, Babe" and "Guitar Duet") like Sam Amidon did. He claims he only records these when he has a writer's block. It's still worth listening too, especially "Silver Dagger". None of these songs have had a formal release. (I forgot to add "Katie Cruel", so I will re-up).

Sam Amidon / All Is Well (2008)


An outstanding melancholy and relaxed acoustic album that deserves more attention. Sam Amidon (sometimes going by Samamidon) takes traditional American folk songs in the public domain and makes them quietly beautiful. Highly recommended.
