"Grace for Saints and Ramblers" comes from Ghost on Ghost, Iron and Wine's 2013 album, and it puts Sam Beam, who wrote it, sings it and plays the guitar, at the head of a crowded room. Brian Blade and Kenny Wollesen both work the drums and percussion, Tony Garnier holds down the bass, and Rob Burger arranged the track and plays piano and celesta, with Briggan Krauss on saxophone and Doug Wieselman on reeds.
Beam produced it with Brian Deck, and Neil Strauch engineered. With that many hands on deck, it swings loose and warm.
