{"product_id":"iron-wine-around-the-well-3lp","title":"Iron \u0026 Wine - Around the Well [3LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAround the Well gathers the songs Iron \u0026amp; Wine left in the margins, a 2009 collection of rarities, B-sides and soundtrack contributions that plays like a secret history of Sam Beam's first great run, spread here across three LPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe early material keeps the hiss and hush of his first home recordings, the same intimate world as his debut, while later tracks open up into fuller arrangements with more players in the room. Hearing them side by side is a reminder of how quickly Beam grew from bedroom whisperer into a songwriter with big, layered ambitions, without ever losing the softness at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlenty of people met Iron \u0026amp; Wine through \"Such Great Heights\", his feather-light cover of The Postal Service that turned an electronic pop song into a lullaby. New Order's \"Love Vigilantes\" gets the same gentle treatment, and The Flaming Lips' \"Waitin' for a Superman\" becomes something close to a hymn. The set closes with \"The Trapeze Swinger\", a long, unhurried ballad that unfolds like a letter read aloud, and many fans count it among the best things Beam has written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wore out The Creek Drank the Cradle or Our Endless Numbered Days, this is the missing shelf of the story. Every track here earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307795259697,"sku":"098787080810","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Iron_Wine-Around_the_Well_3LP.jpg?v=1793813970","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/iron-wine-around-the-well-3lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
