Collecting songs ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released, Around the Well spans Iron and Wine's earliest sessions which yielded the band's 2002 debut The Creek Drank the Cradle through material recorded for 2007's The Shepherd's Dog. The 3 LP collection is broken up into two sections; the first half is an assortment of hushed homerecordings, unedited and raw, and the second highlights moments captured in the confines of proper studios with the help of other musicians, friends and engineers.
