Iron And Wine's frontman Sam Beam first turned heads with 2002's 'The Creek Drank The Cradle,' a compilation of bare acoustic demos. Since then, Beam's sound has increasingly expanded in musical scope. Iron And Wine's latest album, 'Ghost On Ghost,' features lush string arrangements, Motown-inspired vocals, and prominent horns that one might expect to find on a soul record from 1974. But the big sound feels at home on Beam's songs.

Watch Beam returns to his roots in a solo acoustic version of "Grace For Saints And Ramblers" in the Soundcheck studio.
