I’ve always thought Iron & Wine’s transformation of New Order’s longing wartime ballad “Love Vigilantes” from a reflective piece of synth-pop into a typically beautiful folk song was one of Sam Beam’s most effective reinterpretations. It was performed by the band last night on The Jimmy Fallon Show (along with the brand new song “Godless Brother In Love”, featured below). “Love Vigilantes” is a...

Iron & Wine fans will have much to be happy about next month. His new tour kicks off May 4th and should be one of his best yet. I actually have legitimate reason to believe that to be true.

Who : Iron & Wine When : May 17th 18th Where : Abrons Arts Center On Sale : Soon? More Dates Thoughts : Last week I admitted to having never seen Bonnie "Prince" Billy and this week I have to admit to never getting my ass to an Iron & Wine show. Both artists have had my ear for ages and yet for whatever reason (or better yet, for no reason) I have never gotten my lazy ass to seeing the...

Sam Beam is not only one of America's best songwriters, he's also easily one of the most consistent.

Rarities and b-side collections are tricky beasts. On the one hand, fans should be thrilled about new material from one of their favorite artists. On the other, nothing says 'avoid me' like a selection of tunes that didn't make the cut on previous records. The age-old conundrum is presented once again with Iron & Wine's latest release, a two-disc album spanning 23 songs and 90 minutes comprised...

Iron & Wine Around The Well Sub-Pop Records Out May 19th [63] [Rating Scale] 6.3 out of 10 stars Samuel Beam, AKA Iron and Wine, has come a long way since waiting tables back home in Columbia, South Carolina. With a storied background in the arts, music and film, it was only a matter of time before his laid-back folk sound reached [...]

Originally pressed as a B-side to the Postal Service's single, this Iron & Wine tune really started bending ears when it showed up on the soundtrack for Zach Braff's Garden State. A masterful cover, it trades Jimmy Tamborello's skittering, Nintendo beats for plaintive acoustic guitar chords and Ben Gibbard's sincere yelp for Sam Beam's hushed vocal.Beam's take not only explores the tenderness ...

Here is my favorite off of the new album. I love it, but in the interest of full disclosure, I am blinded by bias when it comes to Sam Beam. He is on that same pedestal where I keep Jack White,Jeff Tweedy, and a handful of other songwriters...I just don't think these guys would release something that wasn't great

For tonight, my goal is to post the LONGEST song ever in the history of MOGdom...dream big moggers, dream bigAnd don't worry, i wouldn't post a nine minute song unless it was great

It's amazing how a song like this can inspire moments of such great heights.I Love this song!

The light is soft, with touch of salty grey. I wish I woke up at the ocean today. Here the weightless mist penetrates the morning meadows. Here the frantic commuters congest the roadway. Here we look not at the horizon soft and mellow. I wish I woke up at the ocean today. There vapor from the marshes would penetrate the beaches. With soft, comforting hands it reaches, over vast warm san...
