Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days

**Diemen** · 07-06-2004, 04:47 PM

This is great stuff - I highly recommend picking this one up - it's a fantastic folk cd - with great songwriting and lyrics. It sounds very intimate in a Nick Drake/whispering-in-your-ear kind of way - the arrangements are very simple, usually picked guitar and a few other sparse acoustic instruments and simple two-voice harmonies. Anyway, anyone with a soft spot for intimate folk music should give this a listen - it's well worth it.

They're great, I have their last 2 albums on vinyl and saw them live back in April at the Knitting Factory in LA. Such a great show and they did a cover of The Flaming Lips song "Waiting for Superman"

His sister is so pretty in person.
