Iron and Wine, the recorded Word of one Samuel Beam, Miami, Florida; is one of those one-guy-and-his-tapedeck affairs. Taken as a whole, The Creek Drank the Cradle, Iron and Wine's debut CD, is an ode to an older South; a part of America that is defined by "traditional values," pastoral imagery and arcane manners. Or maybe that's just what I want to hear. You'll soon be the judge.

What I can tell you without a moment's doubt or hesitation is that Iron and Wine create the most arresting and seductive music that I've heard in years. Sub Pop heard about Iron and Wine by way of Yeti, a magazine published in Seattle, whose initial run came with an accompanying compilation CD featuring an Iron and Wine song. Mike McGonigal, Editor of Yeti, was introduced to Iron and Wine by way of Ben Bridwell, Brown Records label-owner and onetime drummer for Seattle's beloved, Carissa's Wierd. Ben has known Sam Beam since childhood.
