Iron & Wine - Archive Series Volume 5: Tallahassee Recordings - out May 7 - collects the lost-in-time debut album from indie-folk legend Sam Beam. The songs were recorded three years prior to his 2002 Sub Pop debut, The Creek Drank the Cradle, when Beam was studying at Florida State University, intent on a career in film. Tallahassee's “live in the room” sound, with a feel akin to Neil Young’s Harvest or Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left, reveals the first steps of one of America’s most original and distinctive singer-songwriters.
