Check out Iron & Wine's first album. And it IS an album--an album is an album by virtue of the artist calling it such and not predicated by pop industry standards.
It's called The Creek Drank The Cradle. There are some clips on the site. If you like downturned, guitar and voice ala Nick Drake type music, you should run and order this man's ALBUMS pronto. (Although his first four track album made such a splash, he got a record contract and his second album is a full on studio affair.) Both albums are very good in their own way with the one constant being this fellow has a lot of talent and writes beautiful music. Goes to show you that good songs and talent shine through any medium.
He recorded The Creek Drank the Cradle alone. It's a bedroom masterpiece--and a real inspiration to home recordists like us.
