Sam Amidon & Sam Wilkes- Froggy

On a new collaborative album, Froggy, fiddle maestro Sam Amidon digs deep into Old World roots while Sam Wilkes surrounds those traditional bones with galaxy-brained, fiber-optic jazz and ambient experimentalism. Anchored by four Old Time traditionals, two originals, and a complete reimagining of "Froggy Went A’Courtin" into a neo-classical android, the pair turn century-old folk architecture into something strikingly futuristic.
