- Iron and Wine captures old South in
album
"The Creek Drank the Cradle," the
debut album from Iron and Wine, combines the low-key guitar beats of
popular singer-songwriters with the mystique and values of the old
South.
With song titles such as "Faded From The Winter" and "Southern Anthem,"
the album chronicles one man’s life, incorporating his family and
personal relationships with the singer’s relationship with his living
environment.
