I had certainly heard a lot about Iron & Wine. Critics seemed to love it, causing me to guess it was lousy. And the photo of the singer - a big, hairy, beardy dude, made me think I was in for some (more) rough bluesy folk, sung with an ironically creaky voice by some weird white guy trying to sound crazy and/or Black.
Oh, how wrong i can be!
I (finally) downloaded the album last night (along with a bunch of M. Ward, having heard him in a coffee shop on Haight St. and remembering how much I liked him) and surprise, surprise! - beautiful clear production featuring a beautiful and clear voice. And the music is far from stereotypical, ranging from rock to pop and soul to i don't know what else...
Gonna have to get it a good listen today.
Glad to be proven wrong for once....
