"The Devil Never Sleeps" - Iron And Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

Samuel Beam has evolved his low-fi, one-guy-in-his-basement sound into more of a Sufjan thing, with lush, exotic instrumentation defining the sound of The Shepherd’s Dog. To some, this may be as initially blasphemous as Dylan going electric, but like Bob’s evolution, Sam’s is so successful that any fans who find the change unwelcome can’t possibly hold it against him for very long.
