Title: Misleading reviews
Review: The comparisons to Will Oldham and Nick Drake in various reviews, including the editorial, got me hooked as I really like their work. Having listened to the album I am underwhelmed and feel that the reviews were very misleading. Where are your heads at? He is not like them at all! Iron & Wine is far more naieve and sentimental in a sincere singer-songwriter sort of way. In fact he is more reminiscent of Irish troubadour David Kitt, which is fine if you are into that sort of thing, but he is no Will Oldham. If you are a fan of the latter - approach with caution - have a listen to it before you proceed to checkout! It is unfortunate as I will be much slower in future to take a flyer on new artists on the basis of Amazon reviews.
Is the review positive or negative?
