Our Endless Numbered Days.
Iron and Wine's first release, The Creek Drank the Cradle, was one of those Blair Witch wonders, a home recording that suddenly found itself on many best-of-2002 lists.
I've been listening to songs from Our Endless Numbered Days, the second album. It is brilliant folk music. Brilliant music, period. This was studio-produced, and yet remains simple and intimate, a quiet conversation with the friend whom you tell things you can't tell other friends.
