the long version

"American Psalm, World Psalm takes the original rhythms of the Biblical Psalms and reimagines them through the scope of contemporary American music -- blues, jazz, folk, hip-hop, world music. Samaras turns in a massively ambitious -- and hugely successful -- project of writing one-hundred and fifty contemporary psalms, to mirror the Old Testament, that evoke the spiritual hunger of our modern world.
