Iron & wine

I’ve really been enjoying the new Iron & Wine EP (well, relatively new) Woman King. I can’t get enough of Sam Beam’s voice, something about it just soothes me. Jim Beam and I never got along too well, so Sam is a welcome replacement.

If you haven’t ever listened to Iron & Wine before, I highly recommend Woman King, but I’m sharing a couple tracks that you won’t find on that disc. One is a live performance with The Shins [and disliking The Shins is illegal so you know it’s good], and the other is a cover of Will Oldham’s “We All, Us Three, Will Ride”. Both songs are amazing, especially if you’re already an Oldham or Shins listener.

Right click, save as, enjoy.

The first one doesn’t work.

Woman King is such a good album. I think I’m the only person who couldn’t get into his earlier stuff, but this album matches his bedroom voice PERFECTLY with upbeat music. lovelovelove

Meagan! I fixed the link for you, you’ll love it. I LOVE the older stuff but I agree the new stuff is even better.

I was listening to Cinders and Smoke as I read this
