5. Iron & Wine – Shepherd’s dog (2007)


This is the 3rd album from this band, but they also have several good EPs that you can easily find if you’re good at the internet. This is really folky rock, but it is not gross like that sounds, it’s very poppy and listener friendly. “Pagan Angel and a Borrowed Car” was on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of best songs for 2007.** but I like “Boy with a Coin” better. I hope this doesn’t put anyone off, but "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" was used in the movie Twilight and is also on the movie’s soundtrack. Sounds a bit like Fleet Foxes and Bone Iver.
