Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Amidon is a contemporary folk musician who often peppers his albums with traditional tunes alongside his original compositions. (Two of his most celebrated releases, 2007's All Is Well and 2010's I See the Sign, were entirely comprised of folk standards, with the exception of one tune by R. Kelly on the latter.) Possessing a voice that's gentle but evocative, Amidon's style is usually spare and atmospheric, focusing on acoustic instruments and a style that insinuates rather than speaking boldly, though 2017's The Following Mountain found him branching out, writing all the material and working with veteran jazz musicians to create a darker and more experimental vision.

When Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium presented an exhibit honoring Harry Smith's groundbreaking collection The Anthology of American Folk Music, they invited Amidon to perform a concert devoted to songs from the set. Amidon and Shahzad Ismaily booked a two-day session in a London studio to record some of the songs they worked up for the event, resulting in a four-song EP, Fatal Flower Garden (A Tribute to Harry Smith), that was released in November 2019.
