Last year, Sam Beam released his first Iron & Wine album in four years, Beast Epic. It was nominated for a Grammy, and Beam apparently had more solid material where that came from because later this month he's releasing a new EP, Weed Garden, made up of songs that were written during that same six-year period. We already heard one of those, "What Hurts Worse," and today he's sharing another one, "Waves Of Galveston."
The song has had a long shelf life. It was originally included in The A.V. Club's State Songs project back in 2013, and Beam was tasked with writing a song about the big state of Texas. It's popped up a few times over the years in live shows and performance videos, and it'll finally be officially released on the Weed Garden EP.
Listen to the studio version below.
