Iron And Wine – Our Endless Numbered Days

He followed it up with "The Creek Drank the Cradle," his subdued, literate, intimate, melodic debut album from 2002, a quiet treasure that found fans everywhere with its pristine candor and depth

"Our Endless Numbered Days" was recorded at both Sam's Miami home and Chicago's Engine Studios with Brian Deck (Red Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova, etc.)

Sam is joined by his sister Sarah Beam, Patrick McKinney, Jeff McGriff, EJ Holowicki and Jonathon Bradley

Listening to "Our Endless Numbered Days" reveals Sam's skill with words and melody; a skill that allows him to tell stories of love, loss, faith, or the lack thereof, that are at once personal and universal, to music that is sweetly haunting and timeless

"Our Endless Numbered Days" is the first Iron & Wine album recorded in a professional studio and has sold over 460,000 copies (556,000+ including streaming) as of December 2018

This reissue contains the original album plus eight previously unreleased demo versions and a 12-page booklet with an essay about the album by Amanda Petrusich.
