Upward Over the Mountain by Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine is the musical pseudonym of Sam Beam, a singer-songwriter based outside of Austin, TX. This particular song is off his first full length album, The Creek Drank the Cradle. It's a slow, folky tune, with ample use of the slide guitar, which is always a plus in my book. There's not really much I can say about Iron & Wine that would do him justice; his body of work does the talking. The guy has been recording virtually nonstop since 2002. I don't know much about record companies, but they're not gonna let you record this many albums unless you've got some serious talent. Listen after the break.
