Sam Beam<\/strong> and his “band” of merriment known as “Iron & Wine<\/strong><\/a>” have delivered many of this generation’s best ballads, rockers and lullabies.\u00a0 Recently, Beam<\/strong> decided to back-fill his tremendous discography by releasing a previously-unreleased collection of songs entitled Archive Series Volume No. 1.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 The album consists of unheralded, great songs (all killer, no filler) that Beam<\/strong> put down on tape circa-2002’s semi-shocking smash debut on Sub Pop<\/strong>, The Creek Drank The Cradle<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 One of the many great songs from this tremendous Archive<\/strong><\/em> is Everyone\u2019s Summer Of \u201995.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>This track has now been imagined as a video featuring some dude (sorry) by the name of David Dastmalchian<\/strong> (evidently featured in a bunch of productions that YOU, dear person, CARE about immensely–us, not so much).\u00a0 The video is a bit of anxious daring-do in which the D-Dude<\/strong> jumps in briefly with some of his (imagined?) WWE<\/strong> bros (where is J<\/strong>ohn Darnielle<\/strong><\/a> when you need him?) and escapes to who knows what?\u00a0 Still: the song.\u00a0 You know?<\/p>\n

Regardless, there’s never been a song written by Sam Beam<\/strong> that isn’t worthy of your strictest attention.\u00a0 He’s amongst our very best songwriters and lyricists, and the Archive Series<\/strong><\/em> proves this theorem yet again.\u00a0 Check out Eden<\/strong><\/em>, opener Slow Black River\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and all the rest of these salvaged beauties.\u00a0 And go HERE<\/strong><\/a> to pick it up.<\/p>\n

Next up in the Archive Volumes<\/strong>:\u00a0 the Covers, which Sam Beam<\/strong> does so well.<\/p>\n
