So recently, I have been able to get a couple leaked albums into my grubby little hard drive. Kanye West's Graduation and Iron and Wine's The Shepherd's Dog. I was quite excited about finding the latter, seeing as how I've gone from being a simple fan into a Sam Beam disciple this Summer, thanks in large part to Miss Apple. I've gotta say, I'm really pleased with this release. My overal description of it would be...ethereal. I'm sure everyone who cares about this band has heard the lead off single, "Boy With a Coin". Most of the album runs in the same vein. I'm really keeping this review short, because I'm pretty much at a loss for words. So basically, if you like Iron & Wine, pick this up when it comes out later this month. I certainly will be purchasing it on vinyl.
