Biography

The Shepherd's Dog: Iron and Wine’s last release (not including the collaborative In the Reins EP which featured songs by Iron and Wine’s Sam Beam and performances by both Iron and Wine and Calexico together) was 2005’s Woman King, a 6-song EP which distinguished itself from its predecessors with a deepening integration of spiraling, dense opuses with intimate confessionals. On The Shepherd’s Dog this integration is complete.

The Shepard's Dog is so good that it makes me want to produce an album, just so I can count Shepard's Dog as an influence. I might even go so far as to say that it's better than Swordfishtrombones.

Keep it up.

Dear Sam, Please don't let your live performances devolve into weird Jam Band versions of your awesome tracks, I've seen you twice and been disappointed both times... the music is hardly recognizable. I'll keep buying all of your albums though .

On second thought I get it, it must be boring as hell playing the exact same music night after night... I guess I just expected more mellow and less 'Jam Band noodling on guitar for 10 minutes'.

Some constructive criticism from a huge fan :)

-Sincerely, TychoBrahe

I saw you in Atlanta a few years back. It was an awesome live show. It would be great to see more songs here so more folks can hear your great sound.

Love the new album, thank you for your music Sam.

I was inspired to start playing music as a profession by Creek Drank the Cradle when I was going on a drive by myself through the mountains. Thank you.
