Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

[impy13]

It's gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

Discuss.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

bastard...

I haven't heard it yet.

Is it more like The Creek Drank The Cradle or Endless Numbered Days?

 

[impy13]

More like the Woman King EP than anything, which is certainly not a bad thing.

The songs are beautiful and the album flows better than any I've heard in recent memory. Oh, Sam. You've done it again.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Okay, I can't wait for the 25th now....

I wasn't crazy about Woman King the first time I heard it but it's grown on me.

Resurrection Fern = The Trapeze Swinger 2K7

I'm going to up the ante a bit. I don't know why Iron & Wine threads never get a response here, but I think it's time to generate some interest.

If you want to hear this album, I will zip it and email it to you along with I&W's previous LP. No questions asked. Post your emails.

I don't need the previous lps...

 

[LMP]

Nice. I've gotta fully digest Kanye and a few others before I listen, but I'll definitely check this out some time.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[chickadee]

I love Woman King so this is exciting!

Dammit, I would like to go but I don't have much money so I really shouldn't... What Chance is there he might add more dates later on?

 

[impy13]

I'd say somewhere between "likely" and "foregone conclusion."

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'd say somewhere between "likely" and "foregone conclusion."

good, I feel better then

I haven't had much of a chance to listen to Sheperd's Dog yet (my stupid work computer wont let me install winrar ) but I will listen to it at home this weekend and have my impressions for you on Monday...

 

[Dalton]

Really? I mean REALLY?

Really?

 

[impy13]

I guess the beard signifies complete awesomeness. Those are two of my favorites in their respective fields.



Why, Paul, why? Fred Clause? For real real?

 

[Dalton]

LOL

That's what I thought at first IMP, but I've seen some extended trailers of FC and it might be a gem.

Every once in a while a comedy comes out that actually wins me over. I'm hoping this will be it!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Alright, I've been listening to this album religiously for the past two days and I'm really enjoying it...

I like the fact that he keeps adding layers to his sound with each additional album. The Creek Drank The Cradle sounds almost acoustic compared with this one.

My favorite track so far is Resurrection Fern.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'll have to pick up the CD and check out the Abq. show. So far I haven't heard anything by him that I didn't like.

I just saw their show at the Paramount in Oakland last night. It was probably the most gorgeous set of music I've ever heard live. Beautiful arrangements (especially the updates of his older more acoustic stuff) and a mesmerizing performance. The sense of intimacy and care put into the music was breathtaking.

It might just be one of my favorite concerts ever.

 

[impy13]

That's good news. I loved I&W at ACL Fest last year and get my second helping in a mere ten days.

Also, this is the third (maybe even second) best album of the year.

 

[Salome]

I love this album
and will definitely keep my eyes open for any possible dates around here

 

[phanan]

I really like this album as well.

 

[I'm Ready]

Yeah, an excellent album.

Our Endless Numbered Days was a little too sparse for me, but on Shepherd's dog they really hit the perfect balance of instrumentation

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I've never heard anything by this artist, but with all the raving, I'm really curious. I'd be interested to hear their work, too.

Thanks in advance .

Fantastic show. The evolution of each of those songs live is wonderful. I can't believe this thread only has two pages.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

There's only a couple of us who really like him I guess

I'm starting to get hella-mad that I missed his stop in T.O

Upward Over the Mountain

My favorite I've seen it live on youtube and he does an amazing job...
