Product Description

Product Description
Three years ago, Iron And Wine's Sam Beam entertained the idea of recording with Calexico founding members Joey Burns and John Convertino as the backing band for what would have become his debut record. Due to unavoidable situations, that recording didn't happen. Finally, after much acclaim for both bands, recording for "In The Reins" took place in December of 2004. It's a collaborative affair that features seven Sam originals with the backing of the full Calexico band and vocals by Joey Burns. A truly harmonious affair with equal parts Iron and Wine and Calexico to satisfy fans of either or both. These tracks offer something new and exciting beyond what the listener has come to expect from either act.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great colaberation, 24 April 2006
By Ronald Kelly "Ron" (foating in space) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Iron and wine and calexixo work togeather fantastically on this EP. Opening up with a great track "he lays in the reigns" , upbeat and melodic with an operatic spanish vocal break (the rest in in english). then folow another 6 great tracks, great arrangements from calexico and smooth but interesting vocals from the iron and wine chap.
overall a very strong EP, one of my favorate purchases of 2005 without question.
the last track, dead mans will is genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning EP, 18 Jan 2006
By John C "jwc1" (Newark - England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In the Reins (Audio CD)
This a great CD. He Lays in the Reins (Track 1) is terrific. The melody is haunting, floating on Sam Beams vocals and harmonies, reinforced with guitars and pianos. Oh yes, and there’s a Mexican spanking out an interlude “Pavarotti style” half way through. Lovely.

It’s fascinating to see the kinds of influences that you can conjure up for this EP. For instance, several tracks have a strong Jazz influence (I guess from Calexico) – particularly Burn that Broken Bed, which is reminiscent of David Sylvian during his Brilliant Trees / Secrets of the Beehive period. On Red Dust, on the other hand, it’s as though Ben Harper and Talk Talk decided to write a track together – with funky guitars, wild harmonica solos, and great melody of course. These kinds of comparisons are odd, because Iron and Wine’s more usual comparisons are probably with the likes of the Great Lake Swimmers, Northern and Western, Mark Kozelek, and Sufjan Stevens. All the remaining songs have charm, displaying more obvious signs of their country origins – with great lyrics playing a major role in making tracks like Prison on Route 41, and Sixteen, Maybe Less stand out.

I’m not sure about Calexico, so I guess I’ll need to explore their music now. However, if you like this album you’ll certainly enjoy the rest of Sam Beam’s work as Iron and Wine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very happy marriage, 17 Oct 2005
This review is from: In the Reins (Audio CD)
This EP is a very comfortable blend of Sam Beans distinctive whispering songs and the musical background of Calexico. They sound made for each other, the characteristic dry and dusty percussion, sad horns and rolling rhythyms setting off these poetic little gems perfectly. Calexico have ditched the Mariachi sound on this effort but otherwise both elements are in fine form. Surely a full album beckons?

Bean has produced one great EP (The Woman King) already this year, if anything 'In The Reins' is an even better effort.

Iron & Wine and Calexico have collaborated well on this fine EP, which pits Samuel Beam's alt-country credentials against the latter band's widescreen musicianship. Read more
