While out on tour in support of their magnificent recent album, Ghost On Ghost<\/strong><\/em>, Iron & Wine<\/strong> have been thrilling from town to town with their 13-piece big-band<\/strong>.\u00a0 The only complaint we’ve heard is from some diehards who prefer leader Sam Beam<\/strong> revert to his original solo-and-straight-up presentation so as to keep drinking their creek from a cradle for endless numbered days.\u00a0 But as somone once sang, he not busy being born is busy dying, and thankfully Beam<\/strong> adheres to this axiom.\u00a0 So for the diehards (and the rest of us that like the Iron AND the Wine), watch below as Beam<\/strong> plays Winter Prayers<\/strong><\/em> (lyrics at bottom) off the new album solo and unplugged.\u00a0 We can’t get these verses out of our heads:\u00a0 “And you know why she’s gone, like the clothes in the river drifting on.”<\/p>\n
