I'm guessing there aren't many Iron & Wine fans left around here, but this new archival release is beautiful stuff. A "lost" album he recorded three years before the Sub Pop debut, not quite as hushed and sparse as The Creek Drank the Cradle, he's actually got a near full band backing him up, it has a nice Neil Young vibe going on. Didn't expect to love this nearly as much as I do.

Close - House, MD. It's my only association with Iron and Wine and it's completely ruined it for me unfortunately.

I likewise didn't expect to find it as strong as I did--I imagine it got a recent remaster before its public release, but still am v impressed by how good Tallahassee sounds for an off-the-cuff lost debut (it also helps that I had low to no expectations for it).

Ghost on Ghost was a really good record, I should try out the ones that have come since
