I think I might love you. I absolutely LOVE Iron & Wine and NO ONE I know has ever heard of them! I love "Such Great Heights", but my favorite is "Love and Some Verses". And I'm from PA, too! Not Scranton, but the Lehigh Valley.

[GlassOnion]

I know Iron & Wine, and I don't like them...

[kaylayuh]

I know Iron & Wine, and I don't like them...

A couple years ago, I would have probably said the same thing. I find my musical tastes are vast and ever expanding. A bit odd, too. I have everything from George Strait to Tech N9ne to Iron & Wine to Jane's Addiction. The only thing I really can't stand is opera, it gives me a headache. Or anything with a fiddle.
