Iron & Wine - Messiah College 02/10/2007

Iron & Wine's latest album, The Shepherd's Dog, is out this week, but we've already written about that here.

In February of 2007 Sam Beam played a pair of seemingly random shows, the second of which took place at Messiah College in Grantham, PA. With minimal backing, Sam tried his hand (or fingers) at several songs that would find their way in expanded versions on The Shepherd's Dog. Stripped of TSD's kitchen sink instrumentation, many of these songs are given more space to breath allowing for added emotional resonance. One can only imagine that the intention was to debut much of this material lending to a eudemonic atmosphere, as Sam jokes about the titles or flubs opening lines.

Luckily for those of us who were unable to attend, a sound board recording was made for broadcast on the campus radio station. The strength of these performances makes this essential listening for both die hard obsessives and passing fans.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% certain.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hello there! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that
might be able to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.

With thanks!
