iTunes Review
Around the Well is a collection of “rarities” from Iron & Wine: outtakes, B-sides, soundtrack cuts, demos. Considering the low profile of the “band” in question (really singer-songwriter Sam Beam with whomever he chooses to collaborate), it’s merely a handy-dandy assembly of stray tracks that loyal fans will want in order to complete their collection. Everything that makes Beam such an attractive performer is here. The soft, whispered vocals, the impeccable finger-picked acoustics, the thoughtful enigmatic lyrics, the laidback, chilling melodies all coalesce into a formidable whole. If these are “leftovers,” then Beam is one solid, prolific songwriter. Covers of the Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights” (featured in the film Garden State) and the Flaming Lips’ “Waitin’ for a Superman” add to the intrigue factor. The 23 tracks begin with mostly quiet, unadorned acoustic tunes (“Loud As Hope” is simply gorgeous) with slide guitar and hushed arrangements, eventually expanding into fuller band excursions such as “Kingdom of the Animals” where piano and electric slide spike the punch.

shh... it
by rt2035don't be too loud though, most of it is in whispers.
Seriously though, good band, decent album, I'm not a fan of some of the more deathly slow tracks (such great heights included, leave that to P.S) of this album, or the ones that are in whispers either, but it's still much better than a lot of other things out there.
Amazing
by luscious heads of the daisiesSam Beam never ceases to amaze. Disc 1 is probably one of the best cd's I've heard in the last 10 years. Disc 2 is pretty good as well. Cannot wait until his new album in 2010!
Sweet memories
by Zac GreenI have followed him since 2003 and this album reminds me a lot of his older material back in the day. I have always appreciated his style and how he doesn't pull any punches. He is always trying new things, this is one of the many things I love. This album shows how he as grown in his music and his career while also shows he hasn't forgotten his roots. All the songs are great but personally I keep repeating "Waitin' For a Superman", originally by the Flaming Lips. They did a good job but Beams soft vocals give more to the song. You shouldn't think twice about buying this album. Even if you've never heard of him or any of his songs. This album will be a good introductory course to the music of Iron and Wine. Sit back, relax and contemplate.
