The Creek Drank the Cradle by Iron & Wine

This was the first Iron & Wine album I ever heard and got immersed in... and I truly love it. But I don't quite understand why so many people only love this album. I know it has that fantastically raw, 4-track quality to it... but Our Endless Numbered Days is still a little raw and the songwriting is on par, if not better. (And I think the same can be said for the EPs The Sea & The Rhythm and Woman King). I guess I can see why The Shepherd's Dog may have turned a lot of fans off... since it is much more of a radical progression from the previous albums, but it is still quite splendid (as is Kiss Each Other Clean).

I told myself that I wasn't going to listen to this album tonight because I was too tired. Suddenly, I'm halfway through and loving every second of it. So sweet.

This is the only record of his that I own, and it's one of my favourite albums. Now I'm more curious to check out his later works, see how they measure up...

i personally think that this album couldn't have sounded better. i would hate ány difference. i'm so attached to it.. the whispery thought of him recording these songs on his 8-track, in the attic, while his children are sleeping.. it's one of the most magical albums in the world.
