Description
Before Sam Amidon’s pair of acclaimed albums for Nonesuch Records, he’d released a few on his own. After a collection of traditional Irish instrumentals, Sam (as samamidon) delivered his true “debut,” But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted.

Recorded with longtime collaborator Thomas Barlett (whose resume includes work with Mumford & Sons, Sufjan Stevens, The National, David Byrne and more), the Vermont-born Amidon weaves through originals, standards and covers from artists as diverse as Mississippi John Hurt to Tears For Fears.

The album’s mix of folk and atmosphvere, sound and story, has made it essential to those who’ve had the chance to hear it. 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 truly deserves.

The album’s original 13 tracks are now joined by an astonishing 10 demos from the sessions on CD and Digital. Plus, But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted makes its first appearance on vinyl—initial pressing on translucent blue vinyl, with black to follow. The LP also contains a download card for the entire CD program.

For those who may have only heard about it, to those who have and want to share or re-experience it again, But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted returns. Don’t make the mistake of missing it again.
