About this product

Vinyl LP pressing. Archive Series Volume No. 5 Tallahassee is the lost-in-time debut album from Iron & Wine. A collection of songs recorded three years prior to his official Sub Pop debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle (2002). A period before the concept of Iron & Wine existed and principal songwriter Sam Beam was studying at Florida State University with the intent of pursuing a career in film. Tallahassee documents the very first steps on a journey that would lead to a career as one of America's most original and distinctive singer-songwriters. Creek arrived like a thief in the night with it's lo-fi, hushed vocals and intimate nature, while almost inversely Tallahassee comes with a strange sense of confidence. Perhaps an almost youthful discretion that likely comes from being too young to know better and too naïve to give a S**t. The recordings themselves are more polished than Creek and give a peak into what a studio version of that record might have offered up. Tallahassee was recorded over the course of 1998-1999 when Beam and future bandmate EJ Holowicki moved into a house together. Album Tracks 1. Why Hate the Winter 2. This Solemn Day 3. Loaning Me Secrets 4. John's Glass Eye 5. Calm on the Valley 6. Ex-Lover Lucy Jones 7. Elizabeth 8. Show Him the Ground 9. Straight and Tall 10. Cold Town 11. Valentine

    Early Sam Beam Recordings

    The songs recorded before the official debut of Sam Beam and Iron and Wine. These recordings are lo-fi and intimate similar to his official debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle. The lyrics are very personal and poetic; the music melodic; and the singing hushed. Music to chill to more than to dance to.
