Live Review:Iron and Wine at Birmingham town hall

The band started off,surprisingly,with a funky rendition of  'Boy with a Coin'. At once,I could tell it was going to be an amazing show;Sams beautiful,raw voice was heightened by the full sound of the new band.A few songs later a beat started,indicating that the next song was going to be an acoustic one, prompting the audience to clap along as soon as they realised this was the prelude to 'Freedom Hangs Heaven'.The keyboards joined in,and gradually more instrumental layers were added until the song ended with a big sound integrating the entire band.'House by the Sea' served as a showcase for the talented sax player,who gave an incredible solo towards the end of the song.Another old favourite-'Sea and the Rhythm'- was skilfully transformed into a slower version with new sounds,most notably high -octave piano notes to polish the song off.
