Description
* Collecting songs ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released, Around the Well spans Iron and Wines earliest sessions which yielded the bands 2002 debut The Creek Drank the Cradle through material recorded for 2007s The Shepherds Dog.
* The double-disc 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.
* Around the Well 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."

Press Reviews
Sam Beam's output as Iron And Wine has been so scattered across various formats that he's the exception that proves the rule about mop-up compilations of outtakes and B-sides not being worth the bytes bitten off to burn them The Independent
