THE UNFINISHED BALLAD - a book (pamphlet?) - length conversation between novelist David Mitchell and myself, is available to preorder now from @burleyfisher ! ! ! Link & preview in story 🔥 Repost from @lanternerecords @burleyfisher : Our very first @lanternerecords publication is now available to pre-order, and it's a banger: The Unfinished Ballad of Sam Amidon! Available in a first run signed by both authors, limited to 200. In the winter of 20/21 Sam Amidon and David Mitchell started a conversation, by email, about Amidon’s work. The original intention was to produce a magazine piece to celebrate the release of Amidon’s latest album. But as the winter wore on, the emails continued, evolving as conversation outgrew its initial aims. From where Lennon and McCartney discovered the b7 chord, to how the best advice Amidon ever received involved one thing only: an egg timer, this short book teases out a lifetime of wit and wisdom on process and practice, shared with warmth between two fellow travellers.
