The Creek Drank the Cradle, released by Sub Pop on September 24, 2002, was the first album from Sam Beam, the singer-songwriter who records as Iron & Wine, a name he took from a dietary supplement called "Beef, Iron & Wine" that caught his eye on a store shelf during a film shoot. He produced it himself.
This is lo-fi folk at its most intimate: spare acoustic guitar, a hushed, close-miked voice and the faint hiss of the room, as if Beam were singing on your back porch late at night. It's rural, quiet and a little haunted, with "Upward Over the Mountain" among its standouts. Vinyl buyers got a bonus 7-inch single. Our Endless Numbered Days came next.
