OVERVIEW: Iron & Wine's long awaited third full-length The Shepherd's Dog will be released on September 24th. The follow up to Our Endless Numbered Days (2004) and the Woman King EP (2005), Beam also collaborated with Calexico for the In The Reins mini-album (2005) that saw the two bands embark on extensive touring into 2006, including a sold out show at The Forum in London. ‘Boy with a Coin’, will be the first single to be taken from forthcoming, it is darkly playful, tumbling under its cascading melody and backwards guitar textures. A worthy example of the highest standard of songwriting displayed on the rest of the album and marks a departure in style from Beam’s previous work, without betraying his blissful Americana roots.
