Every album is a product of time and place, but 'For Emma, Forever Ago'  more than most. Bon Iver is the work of Justin Vernon, who spent three months alone in a log cabin in Northeast Wisconsin, living off the land, splitting wood, and hunting for food - a voluntary exile. And although this wasn't the archetypal spell in the wilderness that many artists seek out, a deliberate scheme to create a "masterpiece", some very special music was born out of the experience. 'For Emma, Forever Ago' was the unexpected, triumphant result.
