Summary: Music to cope to
Comment: This album is definitive of a certain emotion i have yet to find a name for; melancholy is close, but implies sadness, while this album evokes a sort of existential happiness whenever i give it a listen. Beam's whispers comfort me; he creates pastoral, drifting music which helps me cope with the inevitability of demise. As macabre as many people may find the notion of nostalgic joy at the death of a loved one, this album would perfectly narrate a sunny autumn funeral for a close friend, relative, or, strangely enough, oneself. By juxtaposing happiness with hopelessness, Sam Beam has created a soundtrack for human existence.

Summary: nicely done
Comment: The best new artist in this sphere of music is Nick Worrall. Google him and get his debut album for FREE. Incredible.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The calm during the storm
Comment: Sam Beam creates music so hushed, subdued and quaint that it's very easy to imagine listening to it and have it float right by without a fuss. There's no doubt that he has the talent for crafting hooks and reeling in his audience with quiet deception, but when you create an album of nothing but soft vocals, banjo and slide guitar, a big arena sound is not what you're going to get (and hurrah to him for that).
It requires a few listens to truly get into "Creek" (even while it grabs you early) but affection is not difficult for Beam to squeeze. A rootsy folk album, "Creek" excels at small pauses. The album as a whole follows almost the exact same pace, tone and volume. And even though variety may not have served this brand of music, a few changes here and there might have lifted an otherwise solid album towards the level of greatness. Instead, enjoy the muted "Faded From the Winter," the tight plucking of "The Rooster Moans," and gentle roar of "An Angry Blade." This debut may not shake the earth, but it does surprise in the sort of spare and whispery way that Beam can appreciate.
Best cuts: "The Rooster Moans," "An Angry Blade," "Faded From the Winter," "Weary Memory," "Upward Over the Mountain," "Southern Anthem," "Lion's Mane"

Comment: Great CD- My wife and I play it with dinner or drinks- very enjoyable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Beautiful simplicity
Comment: It's amazing the depth of emotion that these songs can evoke in the listener with such simple and delicate means. Many of them are transporting, carrying you along with them almost as if you are in the cradle being carried away by the creek.
Also, many of them contain a half-told story, allowing you to imagine characters, relationships, events; but it's done so subtly that you feel the emotion within the story rather than get caught up in the details of a plot. "Weary Memory," "Bird Stealing Bread," "Promising Light," and "Upwards Over the Mountain" are exemplars of this effect.
I cry EVERY TIME I listen to "Upwards Over the Mountain" -- a song a son sings to his mother, basically telling her to let him go. I am not a son, nor am I a mother, but the lyrics and the melody and the gently rocking rhythm and the quiet guitars together show me a window into the world of such a relationship, and the nostalgic pain and beauty of the passage of time and the inevitability of children growing up (ie, time -- the creek-- drinking the cradle -- childhood).
Sorry for gushing. But Sam Beam is a genius. I am so glad I found this music. I would suggest starting with this one before Endless Numbered Days.
