Last night’s taping was one that I had hoped would happen for a long time. The ACL studio provided the perfect venue for Iron and Wine’s music and the audience remained captivated from the first strains of opener “Each Coming Night” throughout the 90-minute set. It was a magical night;  everyone and everything seemed to come together perfectly and the result was beyond gorgeous. While Sam’s lovely songs and soothing voice provided the foundation, I particularly noticed how Sara’s backing vocals, the marimba, and the pedal steel lifted the songs to their full beauty.

Don’t miss this one when it airs on November 15.

Here’s another review of last night’s taping by Joe Gross from the Austin360 Austin Music Source blog.
