I love Sam Beam aka Iron and Wine. Let me start by saying the best show I have attended to date was Iron and Wine with Calexico October 28, 2005 in Oklahoma. Sam was amazing live (even if he ignored my cries to play "Cinder and Smoke"!) I left the show with great memories and an even bigger fan of the music than before. Sam's sophmore album, Our Endless Numbered Days quickly became a favorite; and in my opinion, not much could top it. Fast-forward to June or July of 07 when I first heard “Boy With a Coin”, I&W's then-new single. I was enraptured with glee, pleased with the new direction Beam had decided to go with his third album Sheperd’s Dog. "Boy With A Coin" hoists bending acoustic guitar notes, a chorus of clapping hands, African-drums and a variety of other effects to achieve a lively folk song, rich in sound and erupting with quality. I&W far exceeded my expectations, I was proven wrong.
Browse my Songs of the Week playlist to hear "Boy With a Coin" the first single from the album, Sheperd's Dog, available now at Amazon.com

I heard iron and wine on a soundtrack to a movie. Very very good at what they do.
Nice site too
Thanks Tony! Glad to see you stop by. What site are you from?
The I&W song you're speaking about is probably "The Trapeze Swinger" it was on In Good Company.
Embarrassingly, I cried when I first heard it.
