Iron & Wine

Iron and Wine - Words and Music - 2013

Sam Beam is the mastermind behind Iron & Wine, and he released his first record back in 2002, called The Creek Drank the Cradle. It was an intimate and mostly acoustic affair, but over the years, Sam has expanded his sound. He's now on his fifth full-length Iron & Wine album, Ghost On Ghost, and it features backing vocals along with string and horn sections.

Sam brought his whole crew to Studio A when he recently stopped by WFUV to talk with me about the new album. See video of the live performances right here, and catch Iron & Wine at The Beacon Theatre tomorrow and The Capitol Theatre this Sunday.

Sam Beam is back again in 2013, but he's wearing a different suit. The absolute master of the hushed and lovely modern ballad, live performances of Iron & Wine (@IronAndWine) have become a more dynamic affair over the past few years, mixing in global influences: African-flavored guitar, Sun-Ra licks.

After a 2005 collaboration with Calexico, Iron & Wine is back with a new album called 'The Shepherd's Dog,' and it continues to stretch the homespun style that got frontman Sam Beam started. It's back to basics though tonight as Sam sits down for a solo chat and performance with Rita Houston in Studio-A.

Iron & Wine's new album 'Kiss Each Other Clean', is a little more produced than some of his past work, but the songwriting and Sam Beam's whispery voice are still there. He talked with WFUV's Rita Houston and played a few songs live in Studio A in this Words and Music session. [1/28/11]
