I love this album and I really dig the way it expands on the pure acoustic folk of his previous records.  That said, the more recent couple of releases have gone too far with electronics and experimental production.  This one found the sweet spot.

Adding this track after Buddy Holly's Rave On was brilliant.  The transition worked

The beat just thumps along like a pounding headache. 

Nice melody though, but not nice enough.

Every time I hear this song, I raise the rating.... 8—>9 for me too.

I just watched the video and love it!!  It's a scene that would happen in a Gabriel Garcia Marquez story.  Fabulous.

I love Iron & Wine, but this track was always a little lackluster for me.  Until I watched the video — I have a new appreciation — bumping from a 6 to 8.

If women are what turn you on, I guess so. If not, I'm afraid I&W is not comparable eye candy. Love his music though.

Hey - saw him last night in Brighton!  Not bad - the venue wasn't conducive to this type of music.  He played this (I think!)

I give it an 8.  Very unique and catchy.  Love it.  Never heard of this band before.  Vocalist is a bit Lindsay Buckingham-ish.

I never have liked his whisper-sing style much, but this song is pretty good. Definitely the best I&W I've heard.

Another example of how great RP is... I would not have heard this group had it not been for RP!  I've purchased 4 albums (including the Calexico - Iron & Wine collaboration) so far.  Although my wife gets a bit upset with me when my Visa bill comes and there is charges for a half a dozen albums every month {#Cheesygrin}

He writes a good tune and he's really beginning to grow on me. Some people have compared our music to Iron and Wine....can't see it myself but I'm not complaining, he's very good :-) judge for yourself http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=656132090&v=app_2405167945&ref=profile

Can't think of a better growth medium for the next crop than Austin.

 

Beam grew up in SC, and I remember seeing a web article (which I found via RP, I think) that listed out the best band and artist from each state; for SC, they chose James Brown for the artist (hard to argue with that) and chose Iron & Wine for best band. This really surprised me, because I thought a more popular (not necessarily better, mind you, but more popular) band like Hootie & The Blowfish would have been their choice.
