Iron and Wine is Samuel Beam, a singer-songwriter born in 1974 who took his stage name from a dietary supplement called "Beef, Iron & Wine" that caught his eye on a general-store shelf during a film shoot. The Creek Drank the Cradle, from 2002, set the template with "Upward Over the Mountain": hushed vocals, softly picked acoustic guitar and songs that sound like they were recorded on a back porch at midnight.

"Trapeze Swinger", "Such Great Heights" and "Love Vigilantes" kept the spell going, and the Fall 2007 EP brought "Boy with a Coin". Then the sound opened up. Kiss Each Other Clean, in 2011, added color and groove around "Tree by the River", and Ghost on Ghost, in 2013, went further still with "Grace for Saints and Ramblers", "The Desert Babbler" and "Lovers' Revolution". Beast Epic in 2017 pulled back toward the folk and country roots with "Call It Dreaming" and "Bitter Truth".

Light Verse arrived in 2024 with "All in Good Time", and eight studio albums in, Beam still writes songs that feel like secrets. He sometimes tours with a full band, and a recording of his 2005 set at Bonnaroo has been released as a live album.
