Released in 2016, this album finds Sam Beam and his collaborators crafting intricate arrangements that sprawl across rock and folk sensibilities without ever losing sight of intimacy. It's the kind of record that rewards repeated listens, revealing new layers each time you spin it. If you've been sleeping on Iron and Wine, this is your wake-up call. If you're already a devotee, this one belongs in your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIron and Wine, the project of singer-songwriter Sam Beam, has spent over two decades perfecting the art of sparse, introspective music that somehow manages to feel expansive. Beam's fingerpicking guitar work and falsetto vocals have become touchstones of modern folk music, influencing countless artists whilst maintaining an admirably independent creative vision. \u003cem\u003eThe Shepherd's Dog\u003c\/em\u003e sees the project in full collaborative mode, with a band that transforms these songs into something both delicate and muscular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eAbout the Album and Tracklisting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Shepherd's Dog\u003c\/em\u003e opens with \"Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car,\" immediately establishing itself as something more orchestrated than you might expect from Iron and Wine. The album doesn't coast on its strengths; instead, it constructs elaborate soundscapes that feel organic rather than overwrought. Highlights include the haunting \"House by the Sea,\" the narrative drive of \"Boy with a Coin,\" and the album's spiritual centrepiece, \"Wolves (Song of the Shepherd's Dog),\" which ties the conceptual threads together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe full tracklist flows like this:\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003col itemprop=\"track\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003ePagan Angel and a Borrowed Car\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhite Tooth Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eLovesong of the Buzzard\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eCarousel\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHouse by the Sea\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eInnocent Bones\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWolves (Song of the Shepherd's Dog)\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eResurrection Fern\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eBoy with a Coin\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eThe Devil Never Sleeps\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003ePeace Beneath the City\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli itemprop=\"name\"\u003eFlightless Bird, American Mouth\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ol\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eIron and Wine: The Shepherd's Dog Album Stream\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 2rem 0;\"\u003e\n      \u003ciframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kw_dCRhWeTw\" title=\"Iron \u0026amp; Wine - The Shepherd's Dog [FULL ALBUM STREAM]\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\n      \u003c\/iframe\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection style=\"margin-top: 2rem; padding: 1.5rem; background-color: #f5f5f5; border-radius: 0.5rem;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReady to take this one home?\u003c\/strong\u003e Purchase online, pickup in-store at Stash Records in Camp Hill, Brisbane, or give us a ring on (07) 3171 0580 to reserve your copy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\"","brand":"Iron and Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51307618336804,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0077\/5549\/7508\/files\/Iron_Wine-TheShepherd_sDogVinylLP.webp?v=1787726327","url":"https:\/\/www.stashrecords.com.au\/products\/iron-and-wine-the-shepards-dog","provider":"Stash Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
