The introduction of all these new artists and songs is what makes me a listener. I am constantly surprised at what I can hear. It's what underground radio yearned to be and in some instances was. But what Bill does is take music from all genres and make it accessible to those of us without the time or money to be able to enjoy the vast array of talent both from the past (where I'm from) to the present which has given me countless hours of first-class entertainment. Hats off to you both! What a great service you do!     {#Bananapiano}{#Bananajam}{#Drummer}

This song opens like that recent Norah Jones tune. Almost indistinguishable.

I really like his latest "Kiss Each Other Clean".  Also I&W w/ Calexico "In The Reins".  I would imagine there are many other gems that I have not had a chance to explore yet.

Yep, and the time and place for Iron & Wine is midnight in bed, as they sing some great lullabies, more effective than a bottle of Dreamy Sleepy Nighty Snoozy-Snooze {#Sleep}

One of the few reasons why I like human beings. One can utterly love something and someone else can just hate it passionately.

btw I like it. Neither love nor hate. like. quite.

Always loved this song — was surprised I had never rated it before!  gets a 9 from me — never gets old.  I really like the subtle use of banjo here MUCH better than the all out wild banjo playing used on other songs (ie: Mumford & Sons).

Does anything on rp 'suck'?   If not, why did Bill create a 'Sucko-Barfo' rating?

Some songs clearly do (subjectively) suck.  Yes those that suck can (subjectively) be loved by others, and rightly so.

I love this song though - easy 8.
  It's amazing to me, some of the comments about songs I love dearly. And some I can hardly stand. But that's the beauty of RP: if you don't like what's on, just wait a couple minutes, you're likely to hear something you like.

I've noticed my song ratings tend to match the RP average. Although I admit I do not rate the songs I do not like: I think my lowest rating is a 6. Plus I try to find something to like about most songs, and of course Bill does not play anything truly dreadful.

Love the way the banjo can alternately sound jaunty in one piece then sinister in another.
Remember Zep's Gallows Pole. Same goes for the mandolin. Must be the precussive nature
of the string plucking.

Oh, unfair comparison! Depeche Mode used a LOT of bass and slam - this is more subtle. but then comes the banjo! So NOT DP... (I love Depeche Mode, and you're right - same "Personal Jesus" rhythm, but I think this song stands on its own. Everyone rips someone off at one point or another. At least if they're using DP as a base, they've got class, right? {#Wink}

I appreciate the musicians who post comments on RP, and wish you luck in a hard business - but cutting and pasting the same remark into every Iron and Wine song is just spam. Be creative and add value, we'll give a listen. Spam the boards? You can do better.

I hope some listener will be good enough to upload some stuff from the most recent album (Around the Well).  Sam Beam returns to his slower groove.
