Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

ALBUM REMOVED BY REQUEST

I have never listened to Iron & Wine, but someone sent me a copy of this album and that person is now a personal hero.

This is a leak of the upcoming third album by Sam Beam's Iron & Wine, the album is due out September 25th, 2007. It starts out strong with one of the best songs on the album "Pagan
Angel and a Borrowed Car" which has a nice catchy tune to it. It is an excellent driving song. "Wolves (Song of the Shepherd's Dog)" is my complete favorite on this album, maybe I am just playing favorites because I sat under the stairs with an amazingly stunning girl, watching fireworks to this song, or maybe it is because this song shows of Sam's HUGE lack of not having talent. It is a nice mellow song, to just kick back and relax to. The last song I'll do is the first single of the album "Boy with a Coin". This song is so catchy it is unreal, if you are not clapping along with this song you are a prude. This song also really showcases Sam's amazing voice. This is the kind of song that you could sit up in your high rise flat, sip wine, and just watch the world end too. It is so calm, but also has that dark air to it. This song was perfect to pick as a single.

This being my first Iron & Wine album I can't compare it to the others. But if you like talent, catchy jamz, and songs you can just kick back and relax to then this album is for you. It is truly amazing and Sam Beam is one of the most skilled musicians out there making music today.
