Sam Beam of Iron and Wine

As if it werent cool enough that Miami resident Sam Beam, a.k.a. Iron and
Wine, is getting all kinds of recognition for the quiet and moody roots music
he records for the indie Sub Pop label, the father of two also sports a luxuriant
growth of chin whiskers that makes him look like a Civil War general. What could
be more appropriate for the Columbia, S.C., native who took his stage name from
a Southern home remedy?
