The Creek Drank The Cradle

by Iron & Wine

supported by

Amanda Kauffman One of the most intimate, raw and emotionally moving albums ever recorded. Only topped by the followup, Our Endless Numbered Days. His later work is good too, but a very different vibe and doesn't scratch the same itch for me as these first two albums do. There's an unrestrained, pure sadness to this album that I honestly haven't heard replicated on any other record. Favorite track: Faded From The Winter.

westberlindinosaur I love your music since your work with Calexico on the „in the reins“ record.
Greetings from Berlin-West, Germany. Favorite track: Upward Over The Mountain.

Gio Makyo I’ve listened to this album at least 100 times now, so I should probably take a moment to say: it’s f-cking good! Favorite track: Southern Anthem.

about

Iron and Wine, the recorded Word of one Samuel Beam, Miami, Florida; is one of those one-guy-and-his -tapedeck affairs. The Creek Drank the Cradle is filled with hushed, restrained vocals, affecting lyrics from a naturalist’s perspective, exploring relationships and the hope born from them, all of which come across as though whispered to you personally, accompanied by guitar, banjo, slide guitar… Taken as a whole, The Creek Drank the Cradle_, Iron and Wine’swine 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 we want to hear.
