Prick Tunes: Iron and Wine NPR Tiny Desk Concert

For those who were turned off by the production of Kiss Each Other Clean, this session in which Sam Beam straps on a guitar and picks through "Half Moon," "Big Burned Hand," and "Tree by the River" should assuage any doubts as to the quality of the songs themselves. Perhaps the production that was said to hearken back to early-to-mid-70s Elton John records wasn't what you were looking for in an Iron and Wine record. That need not be your concern today.

For good measure, "Naked As We Came" rounds out the four-song set, and as always it is spectacular. From January 21, 2011, Iron and Wine.
