He was younger then. He still taught film classes in Florida, and his wife was his only audience. Let me introduce you to the beginning. This is where Sam Beam started.

I think most people became aware of the group Iron and Wine when they did a cover of the song "Such Great Heights" on the Garden State Soundtrack. The bearded wonder (he is only "outbearded" by Rick Rubin) that is Sam Beam has outdone himself on his new album "The Shepards Dog". While I have always loved his lyrics and voice I have found his music background to be comatose. Shephards Dog however is full of sound and harmony that flows so well with his voice it makes you wish... MORE

Please, remember me, happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range,
A piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention, but Please, remember me, fondly
I heard from someone you're still pretty
And then they went on to say
That the pearly gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like 'We'll meet again'
And 'Fuc... MORE

The Iron & Wine show last night was nothing short of incredible. It was our first visit to The Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, and I really liked the venue. The space had good sound, friendly staff, multiple bars, a nice floor layout with plenty of room, and it was also easy to get to.
Arthur and Yu opened, and they were a perfect compliment to Iron & Wine. I wish Sonya's vocals would have been mixed a little higher, as it was sometimes hard to hear her over the i... MORE

I was so ridiculously excited about this show ... it was making me crazy! The day finally arrived; I take my son to a nice dinner near the Theater, we arrive early so we can hit the merch table ... boy howdy! between the kid and I, we spent $100!! (btw, the hoodies are sooooo comfortable!) oh yeah, the show ... a true lover of I&W respects the fact that he is mostly acoustic in form. The new album is all music ... full of sound & noise, but the wonderful, magic... MORE

Very rarely do I go to a concert, and have what some might consider a "religious experience." My last spiritual awakening happened in 2006, when I saw Sufjan at the Crystal Ballroom. It also happened last night. I was completely floored by Iron & Wine's performance at the very same venue. Classic tracks were reworked in the vein of "The Shepards Dog.” If you haven't seen Iron & Wine live, I would strongly suggest that you seek them out. Also, give a shout out to... MORE

There is something rather modest about Iron & Wine. This could be a damning statement: modest might equate to boring, unadventurous, unambitious, lacking in body ... I imply none of these. _The Shepherd's Dog_ is modest because it does not seek to dazzle - and does not chase what (sorry) TS Eliot might've called an "exaggerated novelty". It's matter-of-fact, unpretentious. ... And, somehow, very much the music of landscapes. It seems to me that the album's primary co... MORE

Iron & Wine's Sam Beam will be giving the West some lovin' after Thanksgiving when he tours that side of the Continental Divide. Iron & Wine starts his mini-US tour on November 26th in Tucson, AZ and finishes up just 2.5 weeks later in his adopted home of Austin, TX on December 11th. Before and after the US stretch of shows the South Carolina-born Beam will be taking his acoustic guitar to the UK and the rest of Europe.

Blackbird claw, raven wing
Under the red sunlight
Long clothesline, two shirtsleeves
Waving as we go by Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, wristwatch time
Slowing as she goes to sleep. Black horse fly, lemonade
Jar on the red ant hill
Garden worm, cigarette
Ash on the window sill Hundred years, hundred more
Someday we may see a
Woman king, sword I hand
Swing at some evil and bleed. Black hoof mare, broken leg
Eye on t... MORE

I would recommend that you do whatever it takes to get this CD.
Especially if you are a fan of Iron & Wine. He has grown into a completely new artist.
And if you aren't a fan already, you will be by the end of this album.

Is it weird to like a record even though it reminds you, however faintly, of something you never liked very much? I only ask because I've been playing this new Iron & Wine record quite a lot this past couple of weeks. The past Iron & Wine albums have had a distinct touch of Simon & Garfunkel about them, I think, in their hushed minimalism, the way Sam Beam sang in a calm whisper that masked all manner of psychic anxieties. "The Shepherd's Dog", though, is a m... MORE
