IRON & WINE
The Creek Drank The Cradel
The Creek Drank the Cradle is a gift from singer-songwriter Samuel Beam, the sole member of Iron and Wine. This breathy and intimate album recalls the likes of Nick Drake and Donovan. Subtle, understated, and dreamy, like rain on the window. These are antiquey, lo-fi recordings recorded in the spare time of a Floridian cinematography teacher. There just may be a new Robert Pollard may be in our midst.
CD$ 13.50

TWO COW GARAGE
Please Turn The Gas Back On
The straight ahead dry, crunchy, roots-rock that explodes from this disc is honest and passionate. From lazy slow burners, sewn up with understated pedal-steel ("Girl Of My Dreams"), to dusty and driven mid-tempo rockers that remind you what a good tube-amp sounds like ("Found"), there is a width and breadth to their delivery. Songs like "Forget You (Try To)" bust out with the fervor of a classic Replacements rocker. Overall, a solid recording of what sounds like a rocking club band working out the dynamic highs and lows of their Ohio experience.
