Iron & Wine: The Creek Drank The Cradle (Vinyl LP)

Iron & Wine's debut record, The Creek Drank The Cradle, is written, produced, and performed by Sam Beam and features only Beam's voice, a gently strummed acoustic guitar, some slide guitar, and the occasional banjo.

Iron & Wine creates intimate and emotional songs, recorded bedroom-style but never letting the lo-fi get in the way of the tune. The Creek Drank The Cradle is a stunning debut and one of the best records of 2002.
