Iron&Wine: Incantations from the bearded monster

Hidden behind the name Iron & Wine, Sam Beam recorded his first album 20 years ago all alone in his living room. The man from South Carolina wasn't looking for him, but success found him: The monster with the long beard is now considered one of America's most important songwriters, a whispering prophet with a whole bag full of irresistible melodies.

"Light Verse" is Beam's seventh album and proof that good music doesn't need more than a few nice stories, a few suitable chords and maybe the idea of ​​asking the great Fiona Apple to duet on "All in Good Time".
