About this album
American Stranger is a warmly assured folk album that shows Happy Traum at ease as both interpreter and traditionalist. Issued in 1977, it draws on American roots material, country balladry and revivalist repertoire, with Traum’s relaxed voice and accomplished guitar work giving the songs a direct, lived-in feel. His reading of Dylan’s Buckets Of Rain sits alongside traditional pieces such as I Am A Pilgrim and I’ll Fly Away, reinforcing the album’s mix of old and new songcraft. The result is an intimate, unforced record that reflects the strength of the 1970s folk revival and Traum’s place within it.
