Editor's note

Sam Behymer's quiet songs of place and memory

A songwriter who has built a steady catalog over two decades, from '500 Years' to 'Dear Los Angeles'.

For a good sense of his range, put '500 Years' next to 'Dear Los Angeles'. One feels like a folk parable, the other a modern city letter.

Behymer's songs stick because they feel lived-in, not just written. 'Dear Los Angeles' and 'I Took The 99 To Get Away From You' turn specific places into personal stories. That early track '500 Years' set a tone for patient, narrative songwriting that he's carried forward.

He released his debut album 'The Shepherd's Fold' in 2003. Since then, he's put out records like 'The Fall' and 'The Wilderness' every few years, often with the same core group of players. The titles themselves, 'Stranger', 'The Rose of Jericho', suggest the kind of themes he returns to.
