This 2007 Sub Pop release saw Iron & Wine shedding the hushed intimacy of his earlier work for a more rhythmically adventurous, sonically dense sound.
- The album was recorded at the legendary Bear Creek Studios in Washington state.
- The single "Boy Wakes Up In A Funeral" was notably accompanied by a striking, somber music video.
- The Shepherd's Dog debuted at number 28 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Iron & Wine is the project of singer-songwriter Sam Beam, hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, and known for his intimate, whisper-soft indie folk. The Shepherd's Dog arrived in 2007 as Beam's third studio album, representing a move toward a more expansive, layered sound following the sparseness of his earlier work.
