Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

When he gets there, he finds rather than the telegram telling his wife weeping over a telegram from the army informing her of his death.death being the result of a clerical error.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Perhaps inverted; most of his output has a very layered sound and isn't easy to pin down genre-wise, while only his first two albums (and some B-sides and [=EPs=] from that era) prominently feature the hushed folk sound that he's best known for.
* EpicRocking: More like "epic folking" in this case. "The Trapeze Swinger" is over nine minutes long.
** "Your Fake Name Is Good Enough For Me" is a more rockin' example, at around seven minutes.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: Happens quite a bit on ''The Shepherd's Dog''.
* GenreRoulette: Elements of rock, jazz, and even electronica began to work their way into Beam's repertoire somewhere around the ''Woman King'' EP. ''Kiss Each Other Clean'' is perhaps his most difficult record to classify.

* NoBudget: ''The Creek Drank the Cradle'' is perhaps one of the best examples of an artist finding real success on a shoestring budget; the songs were four-track recordings made in Beam's basement that were originally just meant to be demos. The songs were released as is, and the rest is history. Today there are fans who still prefer that sound to anything he's made in a "real" studio with a producer.

* TheOner: The music video for "Naked as We Came" is a long shot that pans across a picnic table full of food, then back again as its contents get drenched by sprinklers.
* PrecisionFStrike: "Promising Light", "Evening on the Ground (Lilith's Song)", "Innocent Bones", "Monkeys Uptown", "Big Burned Hand". Beam's hushed vocal style makes this trope that much more surprising, perhaps even a bit creepy, when it turns up.
* RearrangeTheSong: Live shows will often feature arrangements of songs that are quite radically re-imagined from their studio counterparts.
* SequelSong: "Sundown (Back in the Briars)" on ''Ghost on Ghost'' is sort of a reprise to "Caught in the Briars", which opens the album
