More hushed folksy music from the new Cat Stevens of our generation, Iron & Wine. If you are at all familiar with his recordings, especially his last full-length “Our Endless Numbered Days”, then you have a good idea as to what this sounds like. Although not physically a continuation of those recording sessions, they certainly are in spirit, utilizing much of the same staff (specifically, Sam’s sister Sarah returns for her beautiful backing vocal duties). If you like those recordings them you will not be disappointed here, or at least I wasn’t.
