Details

The Creek Drank the Cradle is filled with hushed, restrained vocals, affecting lyrics from a naturalists perspective, exploring relationships and the hope born from them, all of which come across as though whispered to you personally, accompanied by guitar, banjo, slide guitar Taken as a whole, The Creek Drank the Cradle, Iron & Wines debut album, is an ode to an older South; a part of America that is defined by traditional values, pastoral imagery and arcane manners. Or maybe thats just what we want to hear.
