Watch Iron And Wine Live At WFUV

Iron and Wine's Sam Beam recently released his fifth full-length album, Ghost On Ghost, which is an expansive affair, complete with lush backing vocals, strings,  a horn section and a deep affection for a retro-'70s sound. Beam brought along nearly a dozen bandmates when he played live for WFUV a few weeks ago. Watch the videos here and listen to Iron and Wine's session with WFUV. Better yet, catch Iron and Wine at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY this Sunday, May 19.
