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 debut (2002's 'the creek drank the cradle') through material recorded for 2007's 'the shepherd's dog'. the double-disc 'around the well' collection is broken up into two sections. the first half is an assortment of hushed home recordings, unedited and raw, and the second highlights moments captured in the confines of proper studios with the help of other musicians, friends and engineers. the album's title comes from a line in the song 'the trapeze swinger,' a fan favourite which was written for and included in the movie 'in good company'. three more songs written and recorded for the film finally make their appearance here as well: 'belated promise ring,' 'god made the automobile' and 'homeward, these shoes.' 'around the well' also brings together hard-to-find covers such as the flaming lips' 'waitin' for a superman' and new order's 'love vigilantes,' along with one of iron and wine's earliest originals, 'sacred vision.' on sub pop.
