Iron and Wine followers are in for a real treat with the release of 'Around The Well' which is a value for money collection of rarities. B-Sides, and previously unreleased material. The triple vinyl pack comes with a download code and a poster and the CD is a double disc set. I'm probably preaching to the converted here but if you're not familiar with Iron and Wine then you ought to check this stuff out if you're looking for lovely singer songwriter/ alt country/ Americana/ pop type stuff. There's even a cover of Stereolab's 'Peng! 33' Out on Sub Pop.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Collecting songs ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released, Around the Well spans Iron and Wine's earliest sessions which yielded the band's debut (2002's The Creek Drank the Cradle) through material recorded for 2007's The Shepherd's 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 album's 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 forthe 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 Order's "Love Vigilantes," along with one of Iron and Wine's earliest originals, "Sacred Vision." In support of Around 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 Shepherd's Dog and plan to release a new album in spring, 2010.
