Iron and Wine- Around the Well – 3LP Vinyl Record

Description

Collecting songs ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released, Around the Well spans Iron and Wines earliest sessions which yielded the bands debut (2002s The Creek Drank the Cradle) through material recorded for 2007s The Shepherds Dog. The double-disc Around the Well collection is broken up into two sections. The first half is an assortment of hushed home recordings, unedited and raw, and the second highlights moments captured in the confines of proper studios with the help of other musicians, friends and engineers. The albums title comes from a line in the song The Trapeze Swinger, a fan favorite which was written for and included in the movie In Good Company. Three more songs written and recorded for the film finally make their appearance here as well: Belated Promise Ring, God Made the Automobile and Homeward, These Shoes. Around the Well also brings together hard-to-find covers such as The Flaming Lips Waitin for a Superman and New Orders Love Vigilantes, along with one of Iron and Wines earliest originals, Sacred Vision. In support ofAround the Well, this May Iron and Wine will perform ten intimate shows in five cities. In addition, Iron and Wine have begun work on the follow-up to The Shepherds Dog and plan to release a new album in spring, 2010.
