Iron & Wine - Creek Drank the Cradle (New CD)

One of those one-guy-and-his-tape deck affairs. An ode to an older South of traditional values, pastoral imagery, and arcane manners. This is arresting stuff, intimate "American Gothic" style portraits and landscapes, traditional backdrops, laced with the most immediately seductive melodies. "... a pure charm and a delight to hear, best absorbed while driving long distances... gorgeous! - AEC Movie Dowager Empress"
