Free Music Review: Pure beauty
Hit: 5 Stars
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 experience, all its stages. This piece of art, along with only a few others, has impacted my life in a strong, almost magical way. If it can do that to one person, then I suspect it's at least worth checking out. I know beauty is a subjective thing, yet so many people seem to agree on certain beautiful things. For me this is one of those beautiful things I simply can't understand not loving, despite knowing people out there will like this CD ever in their lifetimes. It's simply something i have to recommend to everyone. Please please listen, it's worth every dime and a million more.
The Creek Drank the Cradle Poster
Debut album featuring Samuel Beam, they have been on the road with Ugly Casanova (Modest Mouse) and are described as intimate American Gothic style portraits & landscapes. Sub Pop. 2002.Iron & Wine is Sam Beam, a back-porch Florida singer-songwriter whose sad little songs pack a helluva wallop. Beam's immediately likable tunes paint such clear pictures that songs like "Southern Anthem" and "Muddy Hymnal" are more akin to short stories by Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor than to your average pop ditty. Recorded in his living room on a vintage four-track, The Creek Drank the Cradle co-stars cassette hiss, ambient room sound, and Beam himself. A stripped-down, one-man band, Beam contributes delicious Delta-flavored slide guitar, passable banjo, and deliriously beautiful harmonizing. Beam isn't just a songwriter the equal of Will Oldham and Leonard Cohen (really--and it'll be a surprise if folks don't immediately start covering him), the boy can sing. His melt-in-your-head-but-not-in-your-ears voice is instantly recognizable and will certainly please fans of Nick Drake, Lou Barlow, and Elliott Smith. --Mike McGonigal
