Critique Un

I was just sitting here on this beautiful snow day after the day that I created this blog and I decided that for anyone to visit my blog and actually stay I would need some actual posts about music, so I figured why not review what I picked to be the number one featured music of the month? And so here we are and I am writing this post. Here goes nothing;



Iron & Wine


I personally love the soothing quality that Sam Beam's voice has and how his guitar licks just bring out that attribute even more. I also enjoy his lyrics, mostly because of how much they mean with out being over used by other artists and yet every word is laced with feeling and the meaning is portrayed easily enough, in some cases, that anyone would be able to understand them. I have been listening to a lot of Iron & Wine lately but I am particularly attached to the EP "Woman King" (above picture) and I like to play many of the songs on "Our Endless Numbered Days" but that isn't to say that I don't like any of his other albums, in fact I haven't even heard many of his albums because he has so many out there. I only own the previous two mentioned and "The Shepherd's Dog" but if you as the reader believe that one album is superior to all of the others then TELL ME! I would be more than welcome to listen to more of Mr. Beam and also if you have any artists that are similar that you know of then tell me about those too and I would love to review them!
