Review of the Iron and Wine CD Our Endless Numbered Days

I can describe the latest release from Rock super group Iron and Wine for you with just one word… Outstanding!

I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Our Endless Numbered Days. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Our Endless Numbered Days has a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly gifted musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.

If you're a Iron and Wine fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don't even have to be a fan of lname, or even Rock to know is good. This is just good music. Period.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Naked As We Came, track 9 - Free Until They Cut Me Down, and track 12 - Passing Afternoon

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - On Your Wings. It's a great track!
