The Nightingale's Song – a conversation with Sam Lee

Sam Lee is a Mercury Prize–nominated folk singer, a song collector,
and the author of The Nightingale: Notes on a Songbird. We spoke
with Sam last year in the midst of England’s nightingale season
about the transformative experience of creating songs in
collaboration with a songbird. As part of a new documentary series
that will be released next year, we're heading to the UK to
experience Sam singing with the nightingales firsthand. In the
meantime, we are revisiting this special conversation: one filled
with song, as well as the stories of ancestors that are passed
through folk music and the space for communion that is opened with
silence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
