Product Description
From Amazon.com
Iron & Wine is Sam Beam, a back-porch Florida singer-songwriter whose sad little songs pack a helluva wallop. Beam's immediately likable tunes paint such clear pictures that songs like "Southern Anthem" and "Muddy Hymnal" are more akin to short stories by Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor than to your average pop ditty. Recorded in his living room on a vintage four-track, The Creek Drank the Cradle co-stars cassette hiss, ambient room sound, and Beam himself. A stripped-down, one-man band, Beam contributes delicious Delta-flavored slide guitar, passable banjo, and deliriously beautiful harmonizing. Beam isn't just a songwriter the equal of Will Oldham and Leonard Cohen (really--and it'll be a surprise if folks don't immediately start covering him), the boy can sing. His melt-in-your-head-but-not-in-your-ears voice is instantly recognizable and will certainly please fans of Nick Drake, Lou Barlow, and Elliott Smith. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent lo-fi singer/songwriter album,
By
This review is from: Creek Drank The Cradle (Audio CD)
I really wish Iron & Wine stuck with the lo-fi sound on "The Creek Drank the Cradle" with his later releases. It is somewhat shallow to dismiss an artist because he changed his recording method, and ignore his burgeoning songwriting talent. But the lo-fi sound of Iron & Wine's debut album paints such a lovely mental picture, of a bygone fantasy era that was rustic, familial, beautiful, and tragic.If you like the singer/songwriter genre, this album is a must-have.

An Excellent Buy,

This review is from: Creek Drank The Cradle (Audio CD)
When I first heard Sam's music, I was instantly captivated. This is a wonderful CD being both soothing yet upbeat. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys easy listening, or something o relax to. Each song is unique in the way it is both sung and portrayed. Iron and Wine has got to be one of my all time favourite CD's.

This review is from: Creek Drank The Cradle (Audio CD)
there is no telling how much this cd speaks to me on such a personal level, every song on this album is not even possible to put into words other than the god like mind of samuel beam has presented before us... my prayer is that everyone in the world will get to hear at least one song off this album at some point in there life,peace in the middle east, errk
