  BEAM: Music For A New Reason

 riverfronttimes.com - Music - South by Southwest
Yet within these differences, the bands apparently found that there is an underlying sadness in each of their music — a sadness they can both mold into variety of interesting forms, be it a prison blues ballad, a waltz or a pop number.
Beam's amiable laugh contrasts with the often-blue demeanor of his songs, whose gorgeous, finger-picked guitars and downcast melodies drew instant comparisons to Nick Drake, England's minstrel of melancholy.
I suppose that [Beam's] music and writing are keyed to an openness in the same way that ours is; and in that openness, dynamics, instrumentation and subtleties all make new connections.

 Old Gold and Black > 1.30.03 >Sam Bean's Iron and Wine release one to remember   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Sam Beam, a native South Carolinian and sole musician behind the newly emerging and notably talented, yet gorgeously unaffected Iron and Wine, might possess one of the most perfectly sorrow filled voices, which barely wavers above a whisper, that I have encountered in my couple decades of living.
In my mind, however, the appeal of Beam stems from his keen ability for intimate and personal expression, which magnetically draws in his listeners, while barely allowing his voice to rise over a melodic murmur.
Affirming the intimate quality of Beam's music, Terry Eagan, of Ink19.com said, "It is as if one is eavesdropping on the private thoughts of some Southern auteur, with an ear pressed to the ceiling, as he plays alone in an attic."

 OnMilwaukee.com Music: Beam reflects on career as city's first female DJ
Beam, who is believed to be the first female disc jockey in Milwaukee, later went on the air for WQFM from 1974-'77 and then on to WLPX from '77-'81.
Beam was proud of her position and took it very seriously.
Twenty years ago, Beam and her husband moved to San Diego where she was hired to work for KGB-FM, one of the last holdouts in the country that did not pre-program its music.

Yes, Beam is an unlikely rock star, if you could call him that (and judging from the impressive sales of his debut album, The Creek Drank the Cradle, the widespread critical back-rubs he receives, and the venues he sells out during his infrequent tours, you can).
Beam's music runs in perfect, palliative contrast to these hectic modern times.
Like I said, Beam is a modest guy, not the sort of artist who's interested in blabbering away about the so-called creative process.

 Iron and Wine: A Quietly Rocking Success | Music For America
The Newport Music Hall on High Street, across from the Ohio State University campus, was the quietest anyone had ever heard it during a show at this local venue favorite, as show-goers were re-educated on the art of Listening.
The majority of Beam's setlist consisted of quietly performed songs, but there were at least three instances in which Beam and his accompaniment rocked the house with uncharacteristic fervor.
Beam's assortment of guitars added to the organic feel of the show; at some times during the night, when he was playing a gorgeous hollow-body guitar, I caught a faint and pleasant echo of Chris Isaak, another quietly rocking musical gentleman.

 Pulse of the Twin Cities - Locally Grown Alternative Newspaper
Beam’s Jesus is just as compassionate and giving as the Jesus of yore, although his kindness is streamed through a more modern lens; instead of sacrificing his body and soul for all of mankind, Jesus freely dispenses nudie cards and forgives welshed bets.
Beam’s music seems deeply rooted in a specific time and space—Southern Gothic anthems, forgotten but familiar lullabies, and coming-of-age paeans—and yet it’s able to transcend such boundaries through cryptic lyrical introspection.
Despite Beam’s modest claims that his students have no idea who he is, Beam isn’t engaged in a holier-than-thou pursuit to enlighten misguided souls through education.

 IGN: Our Endless Numbered Days Review
Beam dips back into the introverted melancholia with "Love and Some Verses," which layers acoustic guitar, banjo, and slide, over which he delivers some sparse lyrics before lapsing into an extended hum.
Which is to say that while the musicality of the song is slightly more upbeat, it's still dwelling down in the bittersweet territory.
And that, my friends, is the inherent joy in the music Beam makes: it adjusts itself to your every mood, willing to secrete into the shadows when you are in need of some calm and more than ready to emerge when you want to delve into the deeper mysteries it has to offer.

 Crutch Music Review: Iron and Wine - Woman King EP
They are not as simple as their music can fool one into thinking.
Whether or not this fusion is successful in terms of the song’s cathartic effect is debatable, but it does make for an interesting and somehow necessary musical move; that is, if we continually want music to push the categorical boundaries and resist a numbing repetition of song style, then this is what music should do.
To the uninitiated, this EP offers an easily digestible entry point into Iron and Wine’s music and is perhaps a more solid effort than their lengthier album projects.

 Crutch Music Review: Iron and Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
For his second Sub Pop LP, Iron and Wine’s Sam Beam emerges from the woodpile where, judging from the level of fidelity of The Creek Drank the Cradle (his debut), he hunkered down with a Radio Shack tape machine and recorded it.
The album begins at a canter; sinuously stumbles through the shuffling “Teeth in the Grass”, then accelerates to a long loping gait during “Love and Some Verses”, which is the song Wilco forgot to put on A Ghost is Born.
Beam’s wafting guitar and banjo, bolstered by subtle click-tracks and melancholic slide guitar, require no such obfuscation (and for all you may have heard about this album’s lush production – it’s all relative; it’s not as if Beam’s getting all Billy C. and layering seventy-two tracks of feedback on one song).

 A Review by The Phantom Tollbooth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The music is fairly skillfully performed, the mood is generally built by a driving rock sound and slightly strained vocals, and the shifts from quiet and slow to loud and fast are carried through deftly.
The engineering also leaves something to be desired, as the sound feels rather dry and tired, and it can do with a little more spark and some more top-end to bring the songs to life.
The music Beam specialize in is often popular live, and it will not surprise me to see them put on a great concert.
