Iron & Wine & A Western Killing Spree Rendered as Cinematic Poetry

Mr. Sam Beam, better known as Iron & Wine, made the wise decision some years ago to homestead right around here. And so this week we get an unusual two-night offering from Iron & Wine: Tomorrow night (7/28) Iron & Wine hosts (?) or otherwise presents a special Movie Night at the Paramount, featuring the 1973 film Badlands (itself the work of another hill country denizen, Terence Malick). And the following night (7/29), along with Calexico, he’ll perform as part of a benefit for both MANA (Midwives Alliance of North America) and HAAM (Health Alliance for Austin Musicians). All good reasons to absorb some hill country genius.
