Pure beauty
I'm not writing this as a practical, useful review, instead I just want to let the world know that for me this CD is a religious experience! Very few works of art in this world can bring one to both laughter and tears; for me this CD is an artist representation of human life in all its...

Music to cope to
This album is definitive of a certain emotion i have yet to find a name for; melancholy is close, but implies sadness, while this album evokes a sort of existential happiness whenever i give it a listen. Beam's whispers comfort me; he creates pastoral, drifting music which helps me cope with the...

The calm during the storm
Sam Beam creates music so hushed, subdued and quaint that it's very easy to imagine listening to it and have it float right by without a fuss. There's no doubt that he has the talent for crafting hooks and reeling in his audience with quiet deception, but when you create an album of nothing but...

Beautiful simplicity
It's amazing the depth of emotion that these songs can evoke in the listener with such simple and delicate means. Many of them are transporting, carrying you along with them almost as if you are in the cradle being carried away by the creek. Also, many of them contain a half-told story, allowing...

Beauty
All iron and wine albums have a crazy way of painting a beautiful masterpiece in the mind, with your eyes closed and fully focused on the music its almost like letting yourself get lost in your most beautiful dream. Upwards over the mountain, is an amazing song. I fell asleap after listening to...

Spoken words like moonlight, you're the voice that I like
I bought this CD for one reason...I had bought "Our Endless Numbered Days" and was so blown away by the beauty of it, that I had to have more. And "The Creek Drank The Cradle" is no exception. Sam Beam, is a poet, and one that makes you feel a sense of nostalgia, as if you have been to the...

Meaningful songs
I have been listening to more softer music lately, I am tired of all the usual stuff, so I am trying new bands that I never heard of before. I think this is really good. I like the quality of the songs. I think Sam is a good songwriter. He has an interesting voice, not the best I have ever...

A Great CD
I discovered Iron and Wine on the Garden State CD. Since then I have bought 3 of their CDs. One of the best things I like about this CD is the style of their music is consistent. Iron and Wine sounds somewhat like Simon and Garfunkel with an edge to it. I highly recommend this CD, and Endless...
