Iron & Wine's Sam Beam is an incredible songwriter. His abilities as a raconteur are vast and wholehearted. Iron & Wine's folky, funky sound is unforgettable. While it may be an acquired taste by some, I'm sure anyone can appreciate the labyrinth of finesse possessed by Sam Beam. Within the majority of Iron & Wine songs there are narrative conflicts where there is a dance between happy and sad. It is apparent through all of all the Iron & Wine albums that Sam uses such a vast range of inspirations. The consummate knack of Iron & Wine is enough to check out an album or two or three... And, of course receive an asterix beside its name on my 'who not to miss at 'roo' mental checklist.
