Description:
Compositionally, 'The Shepherd's Dog' is Iron and Wine's most ambitious and accomplished recording to date. It's also the most satisfying.

While many of us learned of Iron and Wine by way of Sam Beam's tender and spare rendering of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights' on the 'Garden State' soundtrack, those who dug deeper discovered a classic American tunesmith with a precocious musical signature.

Taken as a whole, 'The Shepherd's Dog' is informed by a sensuality that brings a dreamscape to life. It features guest appearances by Calexico.

The first single 'Boy With A Coin' was added to rotation on Triple J Radio 2 months from release, building the anticipation for album release.
