Every artist’s discography tells a story. On a new Backtracking, Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam looks back at his catalogue and talks about songs that played a special role in his life and career, like the song that changed everything for him, the song he has a complicated relationship with, and more. Plus, we chat about his new album, Hen’s Teeth. It’s Backtracking with Iron & Wine, next time on World Cafe.
