new release and new signing


iron & wine have just released a "new" album yesterday. the album is called around the well it includes previously unreleased tracks and some of their tracks that are no longer available. the band is also doing a 6 show tour where the fans can get online and request which songs they play at each venue...pretty cool idea. i bought it yesterday and have been listening to the soothing sounds of samuel beam's voice and guitar the past 24 hours. the album includes possibly one of my favorite songs called 'the trapeze swinger', give it a listen below and let me know what you think.

iron & wine - the trapeze swinger



a new saddle creek band! after their performance at SXSW this year the canadian folk band 'the rural alberta advantage' was picked up by saddle creek records. their album 'hometowns' will be released by saddle creek this summer. they have a great sound and i happen to have a huge crush on amy cole. they will be playing on july 15 in the front room of the slowdown in omaha.
