About this episode
<p>This week, I wanted to go back and revisit the episode that I made with Iron & Wine in the fall of 2022 about the song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth." And there are a couple of reasons. One, there’s a new Iron & Wine album that’s coming out this month, called <em>Hen’s Teeth</em>. And secondly, I actually have a song of my own that’s coming out today, the same day as this episode, and it features Iron & Wine on the track. It’s called “Stray Dogs,” and it’s the first song from an album that I’m releasing in April, called <em>In The Last Hour of Light</em>. And this Iron & Wine episode of the podcast is what actually led to our collaboration on the song. </p><p>I’d been a huge fan of Iron & Wine for two decades, and this live taping, which happened in Wimberly, Texas, at the Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio, was the first time that I got to meet Sam Beam from Iron & Wine</p><p>So before we go back and listen to the episode itself, I thought it could be nice to talk to Sam about how this episode happened, and then how that led to the making of “Stray Dogs.” </p><p>For more, visit <a href="https://songexploder.net/iron-and-wine"><strong>songexploder.net/iron-and-wine</strong></a>.</p>
