Well I must say, I was a good black friday shopper as I got out to Newbury Comics while visiting family for thanksgiving in Boston. In addition to several great vinyl pickups by wilco, justin townes earle, pete townsend, the dead and others I found this amazing new gem.

Don't know if you guys know about this one but if you don't have it, ya gotta hear it. A daytrotter sessions album with acoustic Iron & Wine (sam and rosie thomas) on side a and the low anthem on side b. Great intimate acoustic sam that sounds like he is coming out of your living room. Beautiful and stunning.
4 great tunes, 1 acoustic guitar - Godless Brother, Tree By The River, Glad Man Singing & As We Came. Holy crap is this good.

Woody, have you heard this yet? The album came with a free mp3 download so I can burn you a copy if you want it and can't find it. This is an incredible 4 song album by mr. beam.

The Low Anthem side is also excellent. 5 great tunes that are simply beautiful. Definitely a new thing to be thankful for.

Nice find! There were only 1000 of these pressed so if you're able to find one it's worth picking up. I watched the I&W site like a hawk when it was announced and was lucky enough to get one. Was anyone able to find the Morning Becomes Eclectic vinyl that was released last Friday? We don't have a record store where I live and I was trying to find one. (EDIT: Ebay has them)

Found this on the interweb. It's pretty decent quality recording. This is pretty representative of Sam's new live sound. Sea And The Rhythm and Fever Dream are incredible.

Yay - something to motivate me for the last 1/2 hour. The chocolate truffle just wasn't enough. Thanks!

woodnymph · Dec 20, 2011, 09:41 PM

This Sea & The Rhythm is devouring me

I hear potential to make it sound super Eastern now, too, if Sam threw in a Pipa or a Koto 8) It's great as it is, the sound just came to mind.....

woodnymph · Dec 20, 2011, 09:56 PM

Bird Stealing Bread always gets me....... what a sweet version this is

Thanks again for sharing!!

woodnymph · Dec 20, 2011, 10:19 PM

Jesus..... Cinders and Smoke.... Weary Memory..... I don't have many many versions of Weary Memory live, and this version is beyond a treat.... *drooling*

Ho-leeee-shit. House By The Sea/Love And Some Verses is KILLING me. Goosebumps.

You're welcome guys. Like I said, I'll post more next week. I like hooking up Sam's fans with some of his music you might not have heard before. His live shows are pretty great. Just wondering, what are some of your favorite songs/favorite album? I might have a surprise in store... ;)

Surprise?! :o

It's tough for me to play favorites with his work.... I get in different grooves, and different ones appeal at different times.... I do really love Our Endless Numbered Days and Woman King (and Shepherd's Dog of course :) ) But his rare older "unreleased" tracks (and Creek tracks) have special intimate untouchable places in my heart... :-* And since I've named every other album so far, I may as well add that I do love Kiss Eachother Clean too..... toldja it's tough for me to play favorites :-\ :-\ And by "tough" I mean "impossible" :P

But... that being said... (for me at least!) any Iron & Wine surprise is a good surprise! :D

I know Jeff really likes Our Endless Numbered Days, but I forget/don't know what others' favorites are.... ? ? ? ???

I've only been able to see him live twice, but both times were something pretty special. Ran into him at a coffee shop in Seattle, too. Dude couldn't have been nicer.

woodnymph · Dec 21, 2011, 11:04 AM

But good news!! The I&W forum finally has a new message, "in the process of moving to a new host, please check back soon" Woohoo!! Hope it gets running again!! :D :D

IandWfan · Dec 21, 2011, 01:13 PM

Endless Numbered Days? I can work with that...

Been waiting for the fansite to come back online. I usually troll over there. And since it's been shut down, I was trolling the official forum, but eh.. it's not so good. The vibe around here is nice. I think I'll stay for awhile. I like MMJ. Not as much as Iron and Wine, but they are definitely in my top ten. I LOVE that they tend to play a lot of covers. Did yinz see the video of Jim James and Sam Beam doing "Someday the Waves - Wonderful Tonight - Stuck On You"? Audio is not so great, but you can tell it was awesome.

I don't know how to embed the video, so here's the link...
Iron & Wine with Jim James - Someday the Waves into Wonderful Tonight into Stuck On You

Oh! look at that. It did it automatically. Super sweet.

;D ;D ;D I wonder!!!???

That video is awwwwesome though, we were definitely all over it when they played together.... I'd almost maxed my credit card to drive 20 hours (one way) and see that show (but decided it maybe not in my best interest :P)

Enjoying a glass of wine with a good vinyl copy of kiss each other clean. still not my favorite Iron & Wine lp (easily endless numbered days) but it keeps getting better and better with repeated listening.

Happy holidays woody, thinking of you and your wonderful spirit!
