Delving deep into the Iron & Wine discography, the 23-track AROUND THE WELL compilation unearths rarities from indie-folk singer-songwriter Sam Beam`s considerable catalogue. The first half of the Sub Pop collection focuses on spare, hushed bedroom recordings, many from Beam`s formative CREEK DRANK THE CRADLE era--most notably the melancholy, God-fearing "Dearest Forsaken" and the achingly intimate "Sacred Vision." In relative contrast, WELL`s latter half showcases Iron & Wine in full-band form, particularly on tracks written for the IN GOOD COMPANY soundtrack--"The Trapeze Swinger," a quietly expansive epic, and previously unissued companion pieces such as the romantic "Belated Promise Ring."
